Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to first. KL Rahul makes his debut for Delhi Capitals as they finish off their Vizag leg in Match No 10 of the Indian Premier League on Sunday at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. Hyderabad, renowned for their explosive batting, stumbled in their previous match against Lucknow, unable to set a match-winning total. Their bowling attack also faltered in defending 190, which has raised concerns for captain Pat Cummins. With Delhi coming off a remarkable 210-run chase at the same venue, SRH must regroup swiftly to prevent another setback.

Delhi Capitals received a significant boost with KL Rahul's return after missing the first match due to paternity leave. Rahul is expected to bat at number four, providing much-needed experience and stability to Delhi's batting lineup.

The Delhi team's primary concern from their previous match was the early collapse, losing three wickets within ten deliveries against LSG. Rahul's inclusion is expected to address this vulnerability in their batting order. The contest is expected to be run-heavy, with both teams possessing strong batting lineups. KL Rahul's new role at number four for Delhi will be particularly interesting to watch, especially in a match where scoring runs will be crucial.
