New Delhi: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel won the coin toss and was selected to face five-time champions Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday.“I chose to bowl first. In the first game at home, I wanted to see how the wickets performed. It seems a bit dry and a bit hard. We chased very well in the last game. Chasing the target from 26/4 in the powerplay gave the team a lot of confidence. Even top players know that there are hitters in the lower order who can step up if they fail. Playing home games is always beneficial. Our Washington, D.C., supporters will be cheering us on. Same team. “Aqsa said during the throw.Mumbai Indians suffer big blow as captain Hardik Pandya Missed the game against Delhi Capitals.In Pandya’s absence, Suryakumar Yadav Lead aside.

Stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav explained the reason and said that Pandya was not well.“(News on Hardik) He was not fit and didn’t look good so he was not fit for today’s game. So getting into his shoes today. (On the win against KKR) If you win the first game after 13-14 years, there will be a lot of positivity in the camp and we are happy but it is completely different here from the Wankhede. We have to take good responsibility and play a good game here,” Surya said during the toss. “It looked good (on the surface), the toss didn’t matter. We wanted to bat first, they wanted to bowl first, but yeah, very happy to bat first. It looked good. When we batted first and defended, we did really well here. Quite a few changes. Deepak Chahar came in for Hardik. Corbin Bosch came in for Bulty, which was a tactical change. Bolti performed well in the last game against Wankhede. Mitch Santner came out for Allah Gazanfar,” he said.Lineup:Delhi Capitals (Starting Lineup): KL Rahul(w), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel(c), Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Vipraj Nigam, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh KumarMumbai Indians (Starting Lineup): Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Naman Dhir, Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Corbin Bose Bosch, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah.Here are the substitutes for both teams:Delhi Capitals shock substitutes: Ashutosh Sharma, Ochib Nabi Dar, Samir Rizvi, Dushmantha Chameera, Karun NairMumbai Indians batting reserves: Mayank Markande, Robin Minz, Raj Bawa, Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar
