It’s a good toss to win these days, and thus, Delhi Capitals’s decision to bat first on Monday took most by surprise.
“We’ve been having some success putting big scores on the board and trying to defend them, and we knew there wasn’t going to be much dew and there wasn’t,” DC’s bowling coach James Hopes justified the choice after the seven-wicket defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders.
