New Delhi. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the toss and decided to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in the 51st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday. Today here Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane said that we will bowl first.
He said that the last three matches have been quite different here, so it is more correct to assess the wicket. There is no change in the team. It is difficult to read this wicket, it will be better to play as per the situation. The break has been very beneficial and we will try to perform well in this match.
Delhi Capitals captain Akshar Patel said that the toss is not in our hands so we should be prepared as a team. Mukesh Kumar is returning in place of Natarajan and Vipraj Nigam is returning in place of Karun Nair. As far as I have played here, there is not much turn here but the pitch remains slow. Apart from spinners, fast bowlers also get the benefit of bowling slow balls. It is important for bowlers to concentrate more on their ball rather than the length of the boundary.
Both the teams are as follows:-
Delhi Capitals (XI): KL Rahul, Patum Nissanka, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel (captain), Ashutosh Sharma, Lungi Ngidi, Mitchell Starc, Vipraj Nigam and Mukesh Kumar.
Kolkata Knight Riders (XI): Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wicketkeeper), Cameron Green, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narayan, Anukul Roy, Kartik Tyagi, Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy.
