chose to bowl v Kolkata
Knight Riders
Kumar Sangakkara won
the toss at Deccan
Chargers' jinxed home
ground in Hyderabad,
and chose to bowl
against Kolkata Knight
Riders. Sangakkara
revealed that his
decision had little to do
with the pitch, and that
he was keen on denying
Kolkata the chance to
bat second, given how
well they have chased in
recent games.
Two big South African
players will go head to
head in Uppal. Dale Steyn
came in for Deccan
Chargers, while
Harmeet Singh was
benched. Mark Boucher,
who was in the
commentary box for
the initial part of the
IPL, was drafted into
the Kolkata XI, and will
take over wicket-
keeping duties from
Shreevats Goswami.
Jaidev Unadkat also
returned to the side,
while Ryan ten
Doeschate was left out.
