Here’s what the DC captain Axar Patel and KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane said during the
Axar Patel: We will field first, becomes easier to bat in the second innings because of the dew. We are playing with the same XI. I think it's a slow wicket, doesn't look dry. Think a 190-200 pitch. Will assess the conditions and try to restrict them to a lower total. You need to stay in the present. We wanted to focus on the process, not worry about the result. Need to excecute our plans.
Rahane: We have one change, Anukul Roy comes in. It's hard to read the wicket, I thought the left-arm spinner will be a good option on this surface. We need to win five out of five, as simple as that. We are looking to play one game at a time and we will move forward accordingly. It's hard to read this wicket. Need to adapt to the conditions and assess quickly.
