Delhi Daredevils (Playing XI): David Warner, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir(c), AB de Villiers, Paul Collingwood, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mithun Manhas, Andrew McDonald, Sarabjit Ladda, Amit Mishra, Ashish Nehra
For Delhi, Daniel Vettori, Farveez Maharoof and Rajat Bhatia sit out. In come AB de Villiers, Andrew McDonald and Sarabjeet Ladda.
For Mumbai, Lasith Malinga, Sanath Jayasuriya, Dhawal Kulkarni and R Sathish rested for Mumbai. Dilhara Fernando, Dwayne Bravo, Ali Murtaza and Chandan Madan in. A word on Madan: he is a wicketkeeper-batsman from Punjab, and he impressed with his big hits during the Corporate Trophy at the start of India's domestic season.
So far I have been enjoying the captaincy. This is a crucial game for us. 3 Changes. AB de Villiers comes back in place of Maharoof, Andrew McDonald replaces Vettori. We have another leggie in place of Bhatia.
Not always one can go and perform well, hope everyone has a role to play. We have rested a couple of players, but we need to keep the winning momentum going. Every team has great players and in this format we cannot take things for granted, DD have some big names in their side. We have rested Malinga, Fernando is playing. Jayasuriya is out, Bravo comes back. I'm not behind the Orange cap, it's all about winning the trophy. Chandan Madan and Ali Murtaza will also play today.
Toss SRT says it looks a fabulous track that will slow down later. Typical CCI wicket, GG calls it. SRT has won the toss and Mumbai will bat. Because he expects the pitch to go slow, he has included an extra spinner.
