Sai Kishore - To be fair, we stayed together as a unit which has given us plenty of time to rest, refresh and top up our skill set. Opportunities for me in the IPL or the Indian team has come after a lot of grind, so I came 100% prepared and I don't want to leave anything on the table. With this impact player rule, the captain has a lot of options, sometimes favourable match-ups are available and that gives a lesser number of overs for a bowler, but I do keep myself prepared, work on my skills and be prepared. Sticking to our potential and process, if we play to our best, any team should be easy for us. There's not a lot of bounce on this pitch, sticking to the right length is the key. 

Karun Nair: Firstly, a heartfelt message to our armed forces for keeping us safe, and to help us get back on the field to do something we love. We’ve had a few days off and a few days of intense practice with the team. Some of them have joined late as well. It has been good, I think it was a good reset for us, time to come back and start fresh. We need to start winning those small moments, all about the small margins. I’ve been batting really well over the last 12-16 months. For me it was just about going out there and following the same process. Was lucky enough to get a good start but haven’t been able to convert those starts in the next few games. Overall, been batting well and been batting well in the nets. All about making those starts count. We get the top three (Sai Sudharsan, Buttler, Gill) of them out, and we are halfway through winning the game. The plan would be simple, to try and get them out cheaply and put pressure on their middle order.

Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:
