Virat Kohli (RCB) : We would have bowled as well. Dew is a big factor here. I think it came as early as the first innings. So we got to set a nice foundation, need to have wickets in hand and go hard. We need to keep that intent going. Saini makes way for Rajat Patidar, he will bat at 3 to give us a bit more batting. Daniel Sams replaces Dan Christian.
Rishabh Pant (DC) : We will look to bowl first. The wicket looks dry, so we want to bowl before the dew sets in. Nothing much to talk about the previous game. We should have won the game before the Super Over. Ishant is playing in place of Ashwin
For RCB, Daniel Sams comes in and for DC, Ishant Sharma comes in for Ravi Ashwin.
Rishabh Pant won the toss for Delhi Capitals and decides to bowl first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Background
IPL 2021: Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will be the Match 22 in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad from 7:30 pm IST on 27 April, 2021. This is only the second match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in this IPL. The pitch in the first match was slow and low, which was benefitting the bowlers. It will be interesting to see if that's he case even in Tuesday's match.
Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant will step out in the middle for the toss at 7 pm in Ahmedabad. The captain who wins the toss will probably bowl first.
For RCB, Glenn Maxwell and Devdutt Padkkal's form has been good and Kohli would be hoping the two players would continue the same form. But, death-bowling is still a cause of concern or Kohli. Having won the first 4 matches, RCB lost their first game against CSK.
On the other hand, DC will be without Ravichandran Ashwin. The openers, Dhawan and Shaw have been at the forefront in Delhi's run scoring. But Kagiso Rabada's form is still an issue. It will be interesting to see who comes in place of Ravi Ashwin.
