Bengaluru, April 14: The first Southern derby of the season is set to unfold and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner won the toss against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and opted to bowl first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The two sides got their Indian Premier League season off to contrasting starts. While Virat Kohli-led RCB got their campaign off to a winning start, with a morale-boosting win over Mumbai Indians, the Sunrisers went down to Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening game of the season.
The Sunrisers side will have two changes in their line-up for their second game. While Nadeem will come in for Shahbaz Sandeep Sharma, Jason Holder finds a place in the playing XI in place for Mohammed Nabi.
Meanwhile, the RCB line-up will see one change. Devdutt Padikkal will play his first game of the season, after recovering from Covid and will open RCB’s innings with captain Kohli.
