IPL IPL: Delhi Capitals win toss, elect to bat first against KKR at Eden Gardens
Kolkata/IBNS: Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishav Pant won the toss and opted to bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday (Apr 29).
Winning the toss here, Rishav Pant said Prithvi Shaw has come back to the squad, and Kushagra missed out, while Rasikh Dar will be starting in place of Mukesh.
KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer said he would choose to bowl first if won the toss.
