DC vs SRH: Who won the toss in today's IPL match?

SRH won the toss and decided to bat. With Natarajan unavailable due to COVID, the Orange Army have picked both Sandeep Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed.

Apart from skipper Kane Williamson, David Warner, Jason Holder and Rashid Khan are their other foreign players.

"We will bat. Looks a good surface, important for us to assess conditions first up and get some runs on the board. It's a chance to regroup and want to put up a much better performance," Williamson said about SRH's decision to bat first.

For DC, Shreyas Iyer returns from injury. Ravichandran Ashwin has also been picked ahead of Amit Mishra, while the South African duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje will be seen in action.

Apart from Rabada and Nortje, DC picked Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer as their other overseas players. There was no place for Aussie batter Steve Smith.
