Toss Update: Delhi Capitals have won the toss and opted to bowl first
Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals Captain): I chose to bowl first. First game at home, want to see how the pitch plays. Looks a little dry, looks hard as well. We chased in the last game and hence I would like to chase once again
Suryakumar Yadav: We would have batted first as well. I think they wanted to bowl first and we wanted to bat first. Very happy to bat first. It looks a good one. We have done well here while batting first. Quite a few changes. Deepak Chahar comes in for Hardik. Corbin Bosch comes in for Boulty, that’s a tactical change.
