Here’s what SRH captain Pat Cummins and DC captain Axar Patel said at the DC vs SRH IPL 2025 match toss:
Axar Patel: We would have batted as well as it’s an afternoon game. In the last game, the ball was doing more in the second innings. We’ll look to restrict them to a low total. We have played one game here, we were working on our plans based on our opponents. We need to be brave as a bowling unit. We have certain plans and we have an aggressive mindset. One change, Sameer Rizvi is out, KL Rahul is in.
Pat Cummins: We’ll have a bat. Afternoon game, tends to be hot. Looks like a good wicket, put a big score hopefully. That was the trend last year – we put on some big scores. So, playing to our strengths. We weren’t too worried either way. Playing the way we do, you got to accept that some games it’s not going to work out. One positive from the last game is we were a long way from our best, few things went wrong and we still got almost 200 runs. The boys are still positive. so keen to get out there. Zeeshan comes in for Simarjeet.
