Put to bat by the Kolkata Knight Riders, Kochi Tuskers Kerala have lost explosive opener Brendon McCullum early into the match.

McCullum, who looked out of touch on the strip, went behind a short and wide delivery from Jaidev Unadkat and sliced it to the safe hands of Kallis at the slip.

Kolkata have rested pacer Laxmipathy Balaji and drafted leg-spinner Sarabjit Ladda in his place. Kochi are playing with an unchanged side that last played Delhi.

Teams:

Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir (C), Eoin Morgan, Jacques Kallis, Yusuf Pathan, Manoj Tiwary, Mark Boucher, Rajat Bhatia, Iqbal Abdulla, Brett Lee, Sarabjit Ladda and Jaidev Unadkat.

Kochi Tuskers Kerala: Mahela Jayawardene (C), Michael Klinger, Brendon McCullum, Parthiv Patel, Brad Hodge, Ravindra Jadeja, Raiphi Gomez, R Vinay Kumar, R P Singh, S Sreesanth and Prasanth Parameswaran.
