CAPTAIN TAKING:
David Warner (SRH):
In fact, he was looking to hit first. (at his birthday celebration) I can’t understand this face pie thing (laughs), it’s quite complicated. It was disappointing to lose that last game with a lot of ground in hand.
Shreyas Iyer (DC):
First we will launch. The wicket appears dry and the later dew factor is a factor. That (the trends) definitely comes to mind, but we were constantly hitting first in the early part of the tournament. But the grounds have dried up and that has affected our plans. We want to finish in the top two and the guys are very motivated. After a few bad performances, we sat down together and talked about where we went wrong. Same team.
SHAKE: Capitals of Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer wins the draw, opts to line up against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Both captains, David Warner (SRH) and Shreyas Iyer (DC), are in the middle for the draw.
It’s TOSS time, folks.
