Toss Report: DC vs DD
Cuttack: Adam Gilchrist, captain of the Deccan Chargers, won the toss and has elected to bat first at the Barabati Stadium here.
Talking about the pitch, Gilly said, “It is the same wicket we used on Friday night. The wicket here is good.” He was happy about the crowd support the team has received at Cuttack and said that it had become a home away from home. Gilchrist’s opening partner VVS Laxman has been left out of the playing XI due to an injury.
Delhi Daredevils’ stand-in captain Dinesh Karthik felt the wicket looked good. He said, “It's a good wicket to bat on. I have played here before so I know the wicket quite well.” He was okay with losing the toss as he felt it was a good opportunity for bowlers to come good. The Delhi Daredevils have also made some changes, leaving out Tillakaratne Dilshan for Moises Henriques.
