Delhi elect to bat, Steyn back for Hyderabad
April 18, 2015
Delhi Daredevils captain J P Duminy has won the toss and elected to bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The big news is that South Africa's pace sensation Dale Steyn will play his first match of IPL 8 as Hyderabad draft him in place of Kiwi Trent Boult.
Steyn's presence will bolster a strong Hyderabad bowling line-up also including India's pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Praveen Kumar.
It will be a good battle between the leg-spinners. Delhi have two leggies in Amit Mishra and Imran Tahir, both of whom who have done well in IPL 8, while Hyderabad have the young Karn Sharma.
