In the IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Delhi Capitals' (DC) captain Axar Patel has won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow.

After winning the toss, DC's captain Axar said, "We will bowl first. First match, fresh wicket, it's a red solid wicket and might help in the first 6 overs. Data says a lot of matches are won by the team batting first, but we thought it's the first game and we will bowl. We started well last time, but we slipped in the middle, we're not thinking too far ahead. Nissanka, Miller, Stubbs and Lungi Ngidi, our four overseas players".
