IPL 2026: Aquib Nabi Misses Out As Delhi Capitals Elect To Bowl Against LSG
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the fifth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday.
"We will bowl first. First game, red soil, so we want to see how the pitch plays,” said DC captain Axar Patel after winning the toss. Obviously, the data is there that the second team wins more. The tournament is starting, we want to see how our bowling goes, and that's what we wanted to bowl. Last season, we started well, but we failed to qualify because of one match in the middle. We want to start well again, hope to see it go then.”
On his overseas pick, Patel said, “three batters and a bowler. David Miller, Pathum Nissanka, Tristan Stubbs, and Lungi Ngidi."
