In the 21st match of IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants. After winning the toss, KKR’s captain Ajinkya Rahane decided to bowl first. There is only one change in the playing XI; despite the spin-friendly pitch, Moeen Ali has been replaced by Spencer Johnson.
Spencer need some luck
Spencer has played 3 matches so far in IPL 2025 and has managed to take only one wicket. He will be needing some luck today to deliver a commendable performance against LSG.
What did Ajinkya Rahane say?
After winning the toss, Ajinkya Rahane said, “We are going to bowl first. The wicket looks really good, and it’s not that hot. The wicket won’t change much. One side boundary is small, that’s why we are bowling first. Everyone is looking forward to this game. This game is all about starting fresh, taking the positives, and taking one step at a time. People are going to talk about it, we know Quinny and Sunil are match-winners, but we are not worried about them. Spencer comes in place of Moeen.”
Who will come as Sub?
[Name] is likely to come as the substitute. Since KKR is bowling first, the bowlers are heavy, but Varun Chakravarthy is likely to be subbed out after the first innings, and Angraksh Raghuvanshi is likely to come in his place.
