Karun Nair to lead Daredevils

May 04, 2017 19:43

Welcome to the updates of Match 42 of the Indian Premier League.

Delhi Daredevils have won the toss and have invited Gujarat Lions to bat.

Karun Nair will wear the captain's armband for Delhi in the absence of injured skipper Zaheer Khan.

Nair says he chose to bowl first because of the dew factor later in the match and he knows his bowlers can restrict the Lions' batsmen.

The Lions' skipper Suresh Raina says his players will go in with the right approach and will want to express themselves with the bat.

While the Lions have named an unchanged squad, Delhi have made three changes.

Playing XI:

Delhi Daredevils: Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Marlon Samuels, Corey Anderson, Pat Cummins, Kasigo Rabada, Shahbaz Nadeem, Amit Mishra, Mohammed Shami

Gujarat Lions: Ishan Kishan, Brendon McCullum, Suresh Raina, Aaron Finch, Dwayne Smith, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, James Faulkner, Pradeep Sangwan, Basil Thampi, Ankit Soni
