Sehwag is missing out even today.

Mahela Jayawardene: Sehwag is still not 100%. We had a look at this pitch, but anything can happen. We will bowl first. I do not know what will happen on this pitch. We do not know what is a good score on this pitch and we back ourselves to chase it down. Morne Morkel replaces Ross Taylor.

Gilchrist: There is something on this wicket. We held onto our catches against Chennai. My hamstring is fine. We have to win to stay alive in this competition and we have to play our best cricket today. It looks like a good wicket. There is not much grass on this wicket. There will be some offer for the bowlers. Paul Valthaty replaces Nitin Saini.

Azhar Mahmood: The crowds in Dharamsala are amazing. If we win this game, we are still in the hunt. We have been playing good cricket and the team is doing well. I am happy to be part of the KXIP team and Gilchrist is an amazing captain.

Unmukt Chand: IPL is really good, I'm loving it. We want to win this match as it will definitely boost our confidence. It's a big opportunity for me to play under big players like Mahela
