Delhi Capitals have won the toss and invited KKR to bat on their home ground Feroze Shah Kotla as they try to get back to the winning ways after losing their last match.
"We are going to bowl first. Since we took the wrong decision in the last game, today we want to take a look at how it plays in the first innings," said Iyer deciding to bat first in the encounter against Kolkata.
KKR suffered a loss in the form of Sunil Narine as he got injured and had to be replaced. KKR will expect one more exploit by their muscular batsman Andre Russel in their match against DC.
"We were looking to bat anyway, so happy with what went our way. Sunil Narine is out with an injury, Nikhil Naik is playing," said the KKR captain Karthik who was anyway looking to bat first.
