7: 06 IST, April 26th 2021
Winning the toss, Eoin Morgan said, "We're going to bowl first. Excellent ground and good outfield, seems a good surface. We're going with the same team. We're looking to make a big step forward today. We believe in the guys within the squad and the playing XI. Moving forward, we'll see a lot more depth from our squad. I think there is only way to go (from here). Getting on a losing streak can hurt a bit. We have the opportunity to turn it around and we know it can change quickly."

After losing the toss, KL Rahul said, "It's a new venue and new pitch, important we get off to a good start. That (crowd) would have been lovely but it's important that our country fights back from this. Games like that (win over MI) helps us a lot, difficult wicket to chase and glad that me and Chris could finish it off. Such wins bring the group together. He (Gayle) keeps things light in the dressing room."

"We had some matches here during the India-England series. The first three games of that series saw teams batting first struggling to score and the chasing side won all three. But India made big scores in the next two and defended them. Shows that the toss really doesn't matter a lot. There is a lovely even covering of grass on this pitch and that suggests that batsmen would be licking their lips. Not a big ground and there should be value for runs. The captain winning the toss would want to chase," reckon Simon Doull and Kevin Pietersen.

Having lost their last four matches, the Kolkata Knight Riders will face the Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Placed at the bottom of the table, KKR will look to step up in the batting department. Lack of consistent performances from the top order has been hurting the fortunes of the side. The team would also look up to skipper Eoin Morgan to deliver with the bat. With years of international experience under his belt, the southpaw is a vital cog in the middle order for KKR.
On the other side, PBKS is basking in confidence after KL Rahul’s team brushed aside champions Mumbai Indians in their previous game. There will be a venue change for both sides for this game, as the Kings and the Knights will both hope to adjust quickly to conditions in Ahmedabad and get another win under their kitty in this crucial clash.
Talking about KKR vs PBKS head-to-head record, KKR holds an edge over the PBKS as the KKR has won 18 games in the 27 matches played so far against Punjab. However,, KKR has still many problems to solve, while Punjab seem to have found some balance with Moises Henriques and Fabian Allen slotting well in the middle-order and will be optimistic about their chances on Monday.

India's 3-2 T20I series win against England included a total as low as 124 and as high as 224, both posted by the hosts. There were three successful chases while 180-plus totals were defended twice, which might be what the teams will be aiming at, with dew also likely to be a factor. Also, Ahmedabad has pitches of both red and black soil variety, with the latter offering variable bounce. The kind of pitch being rolled out might influence the make-up of the sides.
The dimensions of the ground should also play into the batters’ hands, with running between the wickets being crucial. Dew could play a part in the second innings, which may lure captains into fielding first upon winning the toss. 170 should be par score at this venue!
