Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat against Delhi Daredevils in an inconsequential contest of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Ferozeshah Kotla here on Sunday.

While sixth-ranked Delhi fielded an unchanged XI, bottom-placed Bangalore made five changes -- bringing in Vishnu Vinod, Shane Watson, Sachin Baby, Harshal Patel and Avesh Khan in place of Mandeep Singh, AB de Villiers, Sreenath Aravind, Samuel Badree and Aniket Choudhary.

The teams:

Delhi Daredevils: Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Shreyas Iyer, Marlon Samuels, Corey Anderson, Shahbaz Nadeem, Pat Cummins, Mohammed Shami, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan (captain).

 

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli (captain), Chris Gayle, Vishnu Vinod (wicket-keeper), Travis Head, Kedar Jadhav, Shane Watson, Sachin Baby, Pawan Negi, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal.
