DC vs KKR – ( Source : @Johns/X.com)

On Tuesday, April, Delhi Capitals locked horns against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The hosts won the toss and opted to field first, asking Ajinkya Rahane-led side to bat first. Both teams are looking for a win and have made a few changes to their side. 

Talking about Delhi Capitals, they have named an unchanged XI, while for KKR, they have made a change as Anukul Roy comes in place of Chetan Sakariya. 

DC vs KKR: Captains’ Thought

Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals Captain): “We are bowling first. There was some dew in the previous game, which helped the team batting second. If dew comes in, it will get easier to bat on. Not sure whether the dew will come or not.”

“This pitch is a tad on the slower side, but still, it looks better than the one we played in the previous game. This is not drier either. Around 190-200 should be a good score. We will bowl on it and assess the condition and then restrict the opposition. “

Ajinkya Rahane (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): “Just one change. Anukul Roy comes in otherwise all the same. Probably yes, hard to read the wicket. I thought the left-arm spinner on this wicket could be crucial. “

“Frankly speaking it is challenging. As you mentioned, we need to win 5 out of 5. We are looking to take one game at a time and move forward. We are trying to give our best and move forward. “
