Riding high on confidence after successive wins, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) face a tough task against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Thursday. After winning the toss, skipper KL Rahul has decided to bowl.
Meanwhile, the side led by Rishabh Pant-led will be looking for a win after their disappointing loss against Gujarat Titans. They will be boosted by the return of David Warner, who will return to the Delhi-based franchise. Pant made another change by replacing Mandeep Singh with Sarfaraz Khan.
"Still early in the competition. Chat is about forgetting what happened, whether we win or lose, and putting our 100 percent going forward. Another opportunity to go out there and perform well as a team," Rahul said after winning the toss.
“We'd have bowled first as well, because we haven't played here before. Three changes for us - Warner comes in for Seifert, Nortje in for Khaleel and Sarfaraz replaces Mandeep. He (Warner) is a big addition, such an experienced player and will add value for us,” Pant said after losing the toss.
