Chopra: Send Tiwary in soon after 10 overs

Kolkata Knight Riders handed an IPL debut to Darren Bravo and chose to bowl against Rising Pune Supergiant in a bid to reclaim the top spot. The West Indies batsman replaced Nathan Coulter-Nile who did not travel with the squad to Pune, with captain Gautam Gambhir citing workload management as the reason.

KKR made another change, beefing up their spin department with the inclusion of Piyush Chawla at the expense of Suryakumar Yadav, on a cracked surface. Offspinners Sunil Narine and Yusuf Pathan, and left-arm wristspinner Piyush Chawla are the other spin options in the side.

Pune made an enforced change. Ben Stokes, according to Steven Smith, pulled up sore, and Faf du Plessis was recalled instead.
