“I’m not too critical but if it’s true then it has to be said. Only twice in the last 30 matches here have the team that won the toss taken the lead,” Aakash Chopra said.

Delhi Capitals’ recent Kolkata Knights match against the Riders was an event the team would like to forget. In the match against the two-time champions, Delhi suffered a seven-wicket defeat against KKR and many felt it was a mistake for the visitors to bat first at Eden Gardens.

DC won the toss and elected to bat first and were able to score a below average total of 153 runs in the first innings. Kuldeep Yadav was the top run-getter and he scored 35 runs off 26 deliveries.

While reflecting on the match, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also spoke out and criticized DC’s decision to bat first. The 46-year-old said no one bats first in Kolkata. He also talked about how Sourav Ganguly was supposed to know everything about the pitch but still made mistakes.

“Who bats first after winning the toss? I’m not that critical, but if it’s true then we have to talk. In the last 30 matches here, the toss… The winning team batted first only twice, and the losing team batted first. Aakash Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel, “If you chase, you won’t necessarily win, but in Kolkata, no one bats first.”

“Whatever happens, the batting will be a little easier later on. But Derry said they would bat first.” I was taken aback. If Sourav Ganguly couldn’t read that pitch, who could? This arena is like the palm of his hand. “You couldn’t understand because you know everything,” he added.

Very surprised: Chopra

Aakash Chopra also spoke about the approach Pant used in his innings against KKR. He said Pant seemed to be trying to do something different with every ball and it cost DC the game. But I was very surprised. Rishabh – You can’t win that much. He looked like he was trying to do something different every ball. “He tried the same shot several times,” Chopra said.
