IPL5: Kolkata Knight Riders V Rajasthan Royals Toss Report – Gambhir opts to bowl
The Kolkata Knight Riders' skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 won the toss and following his trend of putting the opposition into bat and opted to bowl first in the seventh match of the ongoing season five of lucrative Indian Premier League, being played at the Sawai
Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur today, April 8, 2012.
The Rajasthan Royals' skipper Rahul Dravid, who is leading the franchise for the first time after former skipper and mentor http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 pulled out of IPL at the end of last season, said that he would've opted to field first as well had he won the toss.
The Knight Riders have made one change to their squad from the opening match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 off-spinner Sunil Narine. This is Narine’s debut IPL appearance as he preferred his staggering KKR deal over a maiden Test call-up.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 fast bowler, Marchant de Lange made way for the Caribbean offie. The 21-year-old Proteas pacer was quite expensive in Thursday’s eight-wicket defeat to Delhi Daredevils as he conceded 36 runs in his spell of 3 overs.

Knight Riders did not get their IPL5 campaign off to a winning start losing their rain-curtailed tournament opener to a depleted Delhi Daredevils side by eight wickets at home on Thursday. Their opponents however, come into the match
at the back of an enchanting victory over Punjab and must be looking forward to win second game on the trot.
The second match of the day will see Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 Sahara Stadium, Pune.
