Gujarat Lions have won the toss and chose to field

Kohli: We know what we have to do from here. We are just focussing on what kind of cricket we have to play. Looks much harder than the previous one, it is more of a typical Bangalore wicket. I don't think batting first is an issue. We are a side that has won two games batting first. We are playing with the same team.

McCullum: We are going to have a bowl first. The surface looks great. On a wicket like this, you can chase down anything. It is phenomenal to have not missed a single game in the IPL
