Important to be in the present and get a good start,” said Iyer.Asked about his role in the batting unit, Iyer said, “My role is to play the anchor role and play through and through. Good to have lethal bowling line-up as captain. They were phenomenal last game. Need to capitalise on the start,” he said. He was a bit confused about the playing XI as he was given two sheets and didn’t remember which won the final team.KKR have also given his debut cap to Angkrish Raghuvanshi and he is sure to come in as an Impact player.Royal Challengers Bengaluru are unchanged from their last match against Punjab Kings at the same venue. Skipper Faf du Plessis said he would have liked to chase anyway.”We would have liked to chase. Important early season to get over the line in close games. Helps confidence as well. All the great
