Why Bhuvi is not playing today
Winning the toss, Rishabh Pant, the DC captain said, “I think there will be less dew today because of the weather. The wicket also looks drier. We are just trying to do the same thing each and every match. One change: Axar comes in for Lalit.”
Warner said after losing the toss, “At the moment, we’re batting second all the time, so [it] doesn’t matter [laughs]. The last game Kane and Johnny finished it off – we should have done it earlier.” He further disclosed, “Bhuvi has pulled up sore and Suchith is coming in for him. Each wicket is pretty much the same here.”
Bhuvneshwar Kumar who is the leading bowler of Sunrisers Hyderabad is missing the match following an injury. Kumar has been injury prone over last few years and the Hyderabad side that depends on his ability and experience is going to miss her service badly. Jagadessha Suchith has been included in place of Bhuvi and he has received SRH cap from Manish Pandey.
