19:06 IST: MS Dhoni - We were also looking to bowl, it's slightly difficult to defend on this ground. Dew could be a factor, but it's cloudy today, so it might not be a factor. The combination looks good, some of the overseas players turned up late, some are in quarantine, but we are ready to go - Faf, Moeen. Sam Curran and Dwayne Bravo are our four overseas players.
19:03 IST: Rishabh Pant: We will bowl first. The wicket looks a bit soft. I will be a mix of youth and experience, have done a bit of captaincy in 2017, but my first IPL game. Four overseas players - Hetmyer, Stoinis, Woakes, Tom Curran. We aren't playing in Delhi, so think it's working fine
19:00 IST: Delhi Capitals win toss, opt to bowl first against CSK
18:53 IST: English cricketers Tom Curran and Chris Woakes have been handed their maiden cap for Delhi Capitals. Amit Mishra receives a special cap from coach Ricky Ponting as the veteran is all set to play his 100th game for the franchise.
18:51 IST: Sam Curran: Nice to be here for the one-day series against India a couple of weeks back and had a bit of time off. The bubble has been tough, but it's a new world we live in. I know Mum will be nervous tonight [on going up against his brother Tom Curran]. Very different to playing the last time here in India. The wickets are good and boundaries are smaller, so the scores will be higher than what it was last year in Dubai. I'm sure there will be a few sledges [against Tom].
