Shreyas Iyer wins the toss and decides to bowl first. Lucknow Super Giants will be batting first against KKR.

LSG will be concerned with the poor form of Devdutt Padikkal who has scored only 25 runs in five games.

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer has two scores in the 30s but he hasn't looked at his fluent best. He has also been dismissed exclusively by left-arm seamers - Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed and T Natarajan - so Arshad could potentially be an early match-up against him. Shreyas could counter attack by dominating spinners from the other end.

Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Mayank Yadav had a brilliant start to his IPL career with back-to-back three-wicket hauls. Mayank's rapid pace and impeccable control made him a huge favourite among both fans as well as experts with many calling for Indian cricket team selectors to consider him for a spot in the squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. However, his impressive run in the competition was abruptly cut short after he picked up an injury during the match against Gujarat Titans. Mayank went on to miss the match against Delhi Capitals with a small swelling at the top of his hip.

In the match between KKR and LSG at the Eden Gardens, toss will play an important role as the team winning the toss is likely to go for bowling first. This would help avoid due factor in the second innings coming into play. Also, there is a chance that the pitch would offer help for spin so it would be easy to assess the spinning track and chase a target.

In the first match of IPL 2024 that took place at Eden Gardens, runs galore as Heinrich Klaasen nearly took Hyderabad home against the hosts. However, to once again expect a similar wicket, that too in a day game would not be right. A lot of spin would be on offer this time around as Knight Riders boast three quality spinners.

There are going to be no clouds in the sky in Kolkata on April 14. However, the temperatures will be between 36 and 32 degrees Celsius. The humidity will increase from 33 per cent at 3 pm to 50 per cent at 7:30 PM IST.

Kolkata and Lucknow have played against each other in only three matches. Lucknow have dominated the meetings between the two sides, winning all the matches. Kolkata would look to achieve their first victory when they host Lucknow.
