Bangalore, May 6: Hello and welcome to the coverage of the match between Deccan Chargers and Royal Challengers Bangalore. It's an important game for RCB who are just above Deccan Chargers, who are firmly at the bottom. DC will look to have some fun while RCB will look to move up.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have won the toss and elected to field
Kohli is the captain of RCB today
Sangakkara: No secret about Murali other than the fact that he's the best spinner to have ever played the game. Lehman has been a good influence in the team and he brings good ideas. It has been wonderful to work with him. As long as we play well and do the basics right, we have a good chance. It's hard to smoke Murali around the park. I've enjoyed playing with him, now I'm on the other side.
Kohli: We want both Murali and Vettori in the team but that's not possible with the IPL rules. We wanted to get Murali back in, he can get the wickets in the middle overs. Dilshan is back as well. It's a slow track and a small ground. If we can restrict them, we can chase even 170-180.
Teams:
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers(w), Asad Pathan, Syed Mohammad Jamaluddin, Abhimanyu Mithun, Zaheer Khan, Prasanth Parameswaran, Muttiah Muralitharan
