Narendra Modi Stadium-Pitch Report
The last match between GT and KKR was a thriller, Rinku Singh single handedly won this match by hitting 5 sixes in the last 5 balls of Yash Dayal. It was a tough fight but KKR went through the final line, so this pitch will also be a batsman friendly which means the pitch will play no different and will help the batters a lot than the bowlers. The team won the toss would like to chase, the bowlers will have an assist from the pitch during the initial period but overall its going to be belter of a batting pitch and some help from the spinners.
