Hello and welcoe to Game 53 of IPL 2016.Rising Pune Supergiants take on Kings XI Punjab at Visakhapatnam.Both teams are out from the compition.

Kings XI Punjab won the toss and they chose to bat first

MS Dhoni: We are looking to bowl first. What you need to accept is, in sport you will win some and you lose some. The most important thing is to know what were the reasons why we lost. Have to focus on those things and come back strong next season. There are a lot of injuries which forced us not to play with a settled side. We are playing with the same squad.

Murrali Vijay: We are gonna bat first. 140 is a par here, wicket is a bit slow, so we are looking to post somewhere above 140 and put them under pressure with the ball. It's always important to finish the tournament on a high. We have got one change. Rishi Dhawan comes in for Cariappa
