Both Team Captains at the toss
Eoin Morgan: We would have loved to bowl first anyways. The toss doesn’t bother us. We are feeling confident within the group, we are starting to come good as a team. We are playing with the same team.
Captain @imVkohli in the zone 👍 👍#VIVOIPL | #RCBvKKR | #Eliminator pic.twitter.com/WtJY6mvsUC

Virat Kohli: We are going to bat first, looks like a great wicket, nice and hard. It gets tougher to bat here in Sharjah as the game progresses. No changes. A youngster steps up and wins you a game against a top side like Delhi. Very happy for KS. This is what this tournament is all about. Meetings have been pretty short and sharp. We have the ability to win games, nothing changes this being an Eliminator.
