As Kolkata Knight Riders took on Lucknow Super Giants in a must-win game at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, skippers KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer were seen having banter with each other during the toss.
The match is a must-win for both sides. While KL Rahul's Lucknow will hope to win their last match of the season and reach the magical figure of 18 points, elsewhere, Shreyas Iyer's KKR will also eye a win and that too by a huge margin to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Ahead of the high-voltage clash though, the two captains were seen sharing a laugh at the toss.

Shreyas Iyer being the home captain for the match between LSG and KKR, he was chosen to toss the coin, and KL Rahul was the one who had to call.
As soon as Iyer tossed the coin, it flew some distance away and kept moving before eventually falling for heads, which was the call from his opposite number, Rahul.
Before announcing his decision to bat first, KL Rahul came up with a cheeky comment for Iyer as he stated, "Udhar daal de aur (Throw it away further)."
