The hosts have dropped Quinton de Kock but their pace sensation Mayank Yadav has returned to the side. Star pacer Gerald Coetzee is also making his much-awaited return.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have faced each other in four matches and out of them Lucknow have won 3 and Mumbai have been victorious only in one.
Captains at Toss
“We will bowl first. Wicket looks good, want to put their batters under pressure and look to chase it. We'll try to stay as balanced as possible. Need to come out and put up show. We have a few good victories. Few changes, Quinton misses out. Kulkarni is in the team. Mayank is back as well. He has bowled really well, he has a huge impact. I have been pushing the physios and medical team. Mayank is eager to go. Important that he gets it out of his head that he had an injury,” said KL Rahul after winning toss
