RR will bowl first. But Sanju Samson says that only after there is some confusion regarding who called what! How much we love drama! Samson plays the same team, and is hardly concerned about Ashwin's lack of returns this season. LSG also remain unchanged, says KL Rahul.
Meanwhile, LSG present a black-clay pitch, as per Matthew Hayden. Ummmm, spin to win?!
