"s from Axar Patel and Ishan Kishan.QUOTE: We will bowl first. Luck is going well (on the toss); winning all matches would have been better. - Axar Patel"

Hyderabad, April 21

Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to field against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing Indian Premier League, on Tuesday in Hyderabad.

The Sunrisers have found the winning formula at home and have won two on the bounce.

On the other hand, the Capitals are fresh from a thrilling win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and they'll look to keep the winning formula alive.

" 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.

Teams:

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan(c), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora(w), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivang Kumar, Harsh Dubey, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Impact subs: Smaran Ravichandran, Praful Hinge, Liam Livingstone, Dilshan Madushanka, Harshal Patel

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul(w), Sameer Rizvi, Nitish Rana, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel(c), David Miller, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan, Lungi Ngidi.

Delhi Capitals Impact subs: Karun Nair, Dushmantha Chameera, Ashutosh Sharma, Tripurana Vijay, Auqib Nabi.

Interesting to see Nitish Rana back in the XI for DC. Hope he makes an impact. But why drop Aquib Nabi? His bowling could have been useful on this ground. 🤔

SRH's batting lineup looks scary with Head, Klaasen, and Kishan. DC's bowlers have a huge task tonight. Mukesh Kumar and Kuldeep need to be on point from ball one. #IPL2024

Axar's 100th match for DC! That's a fantastic achievement. Hope the team gives him a winning gift. He's been a loyal servant to the franchise.

As a Hyderabad fan, I'm a bit nervous. DC is coming off a big win and has momentum. Our middle order needs to step up today, can't just rely on the openers. Orange Army, let's do this! 🧡

Respectfully, I think the team selection for both sides could be better. SRH's impact subs have some big names like Livingstone and Harshal Patel on the bench. DC's batting looks a bit thin after Stubbs. Hope the captains' instincts pay off.
