"It is a bit different. Been used to coming here and walking into the home dressing room, bit different when I walk into the visiting dressing room. We have showed character in both games. Everyone is chipping in and that gives you a lot of confidence, we need to keep doing that and keep getting better. Some of the guys have gotten better with their skills since season one, the combination is coming well as a team. Now we need to put some runs on the board and put pressure on the oppositon. More than the victory everyone was talking about Mayank's pace, he has been with us since the first season and was unlucky to miss out last season with injury. Just one change - Moshin Khan has a sore back and Yash Thakur comes in," says Rahul.

"We are going to chase. The previous game we played on here first innings it was slower. Some places it is patchy and dry. It really important to find some answers. We have had some really good conversations. It would be good if you keep learning from the mistakes. There is a touch of moisture and let's see how it goes. Topley comes in for Alzarri," says Faf du Plessis at the toss.
Good news for the LSG fans as their regular skipper KL Rahul is back!
Faf du Plessis wins the toss and elects to bowl first.
KL Rahul was observed engaging in short sprints in front of the team physio, typically conducted to assess a player's fitness. It's likely he is undergoing a fitness evaluation, with Lucknow hopeful that he clears it.
"Pitch number 7 which was used for the first game against Punjab Kings - 175 was the score. Average first innings score over here in the last few years has gone up to 196. What I have seen straightaway on this pitch is that it's very dry. I think there will be spin, especially for Glenn Maxwell. We saw the other night (RCB vs PBKS), Glenn Maxwell was getting turn. Both spinners for RCB were getting turn - the left-armer and the off-spinner. This pitch is very dry. It's the highest turning ground on average this year in the IPL. This area outside the off-stump for the right-handed batsmen, this is the sort of area that Maxwell will be looking to pitch the ball. It's almost like a riverbed, very dry, a lot of these cracks don't move but right next to these cracks, there's a little bit of grass as well. The ball will behave differently whether it pitches on the brown bit or the green. It may be slightly two-paced. The odd ball turns, the odd ball goes straight. A very good pitch for bowling spin" - state Murali Kartik and Graeme Swann on comms.

It's unlikely that anyone missed the two thrilling encounters between these teams last year. In the first match in Begaluru, Lucknow edged past the hosts by one wicket on the very last ball, chasing a target of 213. In the ensuing celebrations, Gautam Gambhir made a gesture towards the Chinnaswamy crowd with his fingers on his lips.
In the second fixture, Begaluru turned the tables by defending a modest total of 127 at the Ekana Stadium, with Virat Kohli celebrating one of the wickets with a similar gesture. However, the most memorable moment of the game was the confrontation between Kohli, Gambhir, and Naveen-ul-Haq after the match.
