In the RCB vs DC match today at Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl first.

During the toss, Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel said “We will bowl first. My fingers are fine, protecting it, but if needed, I will bowl all four overs. Faf is fit, he’s in and (Sameer Rizvi) Rizzie is out.  We’ve decided on our order and KL will bat in the middle-order.

Spinners will have a role here, but the fast bowlers can also take wickets. They’ll have to play thee roles they’ve been selected to do, we’ve two good leg-spinners, they’re our attacking options, we have defending options as well, so we’ll have to play according to whatever the match situation demands”
