On being asked to bowl first Virat Kohli said: “Had I known, I would not have come for the toss. Wicket won’t change much. Going to be a cracker of a game. When we had to win 4 out of 4 to qualify, that’s when the team came together. We focused on our strength. We did not expect to finish at the second place, but that’s what NRR does. Same team.”

The Sunrisers skipper called the right side of the coin and after winning the toss David Warner said: “We will bat. Given the last game. we bowled well. Looks a fantastic wicket and it’s about runs in the final. It’s about coming here and playing our best cricket here. Virat is leading by example and has taken his team to the final. For us to have come here and have a smile on our face. There will only be one winner. Mustafizur comes in for Trent Boult.”
