MUMBAI, Apr 10: Kolkata Knight Riders have won the toss and opted to bowl against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match here at Brabourne Stadium on Sunday.
While Kolkata have no change in their playing XI, Delhi have one change in their line-up as Khaleel Ahmed comes in for Anrich Nortje.
After the toss KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer, said: "When I came in, touched the surface, was pretty hard. It has got even grass. I feel in the second innings it would get even better. The boys have been doing really well, important we maintain the consistency. To captain such an amazing bunch is really good."
DC captain Rishabh Pant said: "Don't mind batting first on this wicket. Wicket is absolutely looking very nice. Gets frustrating when you lose close matches but have to learn from your mistakes and keep moving. Definitely a big relief - no dew."
