Kuldeep looked at his brilliant best against his old franchise and bowled like he had something to prove. He tossed up the ball, mixed the wrong 'un and sliders well and varied the pace. He sent back KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer (42), Baba Indrajith (6), Sunil Narine (0) and Andre Russell (0) to finish with 4/14.

Rishabh Pant said the reason he chose to bowl first was that the wicket looked slightly drier and considering the conditions, the dew will come into play. "I think the wicket is slightly on the drier side and dew will come in, in the second half. Our strength has been backing each other and sticking together," he said at the toss. Delhi have made two changes to the side, bringing in Mitchell Marsh and Chetan Sakaria in place of Khaleel Ahmad and Sarfaraz Khan.
