Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar has won the toss and has opted to field first in their IPL game against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

"We will bowl first. It's not as loud as Chinnaswamy, but it's still loud. The surface looks good and we'll look to restrict them to a, low score. The break was good; everyone is doing well and we had some hard practice. We are playing with the same team," Patidar said after winning the toss.

LSG Skipper Rishabh Pant said: "Few changes in our team. Inglis and Mohsin Khan miss out. The only thing is to move with clarity. We know we're a top team, but the main thing is clarity. We have a few changes in the batting order. Having a stable environment is needed, but we need to make changes at times. Looks like a 180-190 wicket, a better wicket than most of the other games."
