KKR vs DC: Captain's Quote

Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): "We would have looked to bowl first. That's what we were having a chat. No need to have toss. We have little bit of chat after the game. Need to keep things simple. "

Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals Captain): "We will bat first. I think the way our team is poised we would like to put a good score on the board. And the wicket is looking slightly on the slower side. I would say it might stick in a little bit in the second inning.
