Captains at the Toss

" We will bowl first. Luck is going well (on the toss); winning all matches would have been better. Thank you, I didn't think I would play 100 matches for DC. Hopefully, it'll end with a win tonight. We need a balanced playing XI, depending on the situation. Managing a big team is difficult; the best playing XI can be selected, and the players know it. One change: Nitish Rana replaces Aquib Nabi," Patel said after the toss.

"It's hard to decide, but I don't think this is a similar wicket. A few changes: Madushanka comes in, and Harsh Dubey is back as well. Executing plans is the way to go; we'll take one match at a time and execute them," SRH skipper Ishan Kishan said at the toss.
