KKR vs DC Live Score, IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant has won the toss and opted to bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2024 match at Eden Gardens on Monday.
Delhi brought in opener Prithvi Shaw in place of Kumar Kushagra while Rasikh Dar Salam came in for Mukesh Kumar.
"We'll bat first. The way our team is poised, would look to put a score on the board. Wicket looks slightly on the slower side. Shaw comes back, Kushagra misses out. Rasikh Dar starts in place of Mukesh I guess. Talk is to take one match at the time," Pant said at the toss.

On the other hand, pacer Mitchell Starc and Vaibhav Arora return for the home side.
"We were looking to bowl first. Rishabh and I were having a chat - he said 'we're looking to bat' and I said we're looking to bowl. We're trying to keep things as simple as possible. When you lose a game like that, scoring 260, it's easy for people to go away from each other and backbite. But we're keeping everyone together. Starc and Vaibhav Arora are back," KKR captain Shreyas Iyer said.
