Last opportunity for us to express ourselves to maximum- Shreyas Iyer’s message to team

Shreyas Iyer at the toss revealed that he would have elected to bat first too considering the fact that LSG doesn’t have a good history while chasing. Iyer said “If you see the history of their team, they have not been so solid while chasing. We have been really good while batting first. (Message to the team) I’ve just told them that this is going to be our last opportunity for us to express ourselves to the maximum.”

While on the other hand , KL Rahul was optimistic of LSG reaching top 2 position despite having last 2 bad games. Rahul said “Couple of bad games is not going to change it. We need to turn up, start fresh, try to win this game and enjoy it. We’ll focus all of our energy on this game. We do have quality in that middle-order, everyone’s experienced, they’ve played enough.”
