For the home side, Mustafizur Rahman replaced Rilee Rossouw, while India's U-19 World Cup winning captain Yash Dhull has been handed his IPL debut, coming in place of injured Khaleel Ahmed.

"We will bowl first. We batted in the first 2 games, but didn't do well enough. The pitch looks dry and probably takes some turn and dew might also be a factor tonight. We got Riley Meredith in place of Stubbs. The other changes are about the impact player. We will see how it goes. When the chips are down you need the senior players to stand up. Jofra is not available," Rohit said after winning the toss.

"We would have done the same thing. For me it is about finding rhythm and as a whole group we gotta work harder and get sharper. We got a forced change, Khaleel Ahmed is injured and we got Yash Dhull in place of him. Also Rilee Rossouw makes way for Mustafizur Rahman. All the boys are up and about, we gotta adapt to the situations and pumped to be playing in front of the home crowd," said DC skipper David Warner at the toss.
