加尔各答骑士队队长什雷亚斯·艾耶（Shreyas Iyer）尽管丢了硬币，但仍表示松了口气

New Delhi, April 15, 2023: In a surprising turn of events at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Shreyas Iyer found himself in a fortunate position despite losing the coin toss to the Delhi Capitals (DC).

新德里，2023 年 4 月 15 日：伊甸花园发生了令人惊讶的事件，加尔各答骑士队 (KKR) 队长施雷亚斯·艾耶 (Shreyas Iyer) 发现自己处于幸运的位置，尽管在掷硬币中输给了德里首都队 (DC)。

DC skipper Rishabh Pant's decision to bat first against KKR on Saturday evening drew a smile from Iyer, who had secretly preferred to bowl first. This decision echoed Iyer's pre-match statement that his team would have opted to bowl if they had won the toss.

DC 队长 Rishabh Pant 决定在周六晚上对阵 KKR 时先击球，这一决定引起了 Iyer 的微笑，而他私下里更喜欢先击球。这一决定呼应了艾耶的赛前声明，即如果他们赢得了投球，他的球队将选择投球。

During the coin toss presentation, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar remarked, "Then we shouldn't have come out for the toss," acknowledging the unexpected alignment of the captains' intentions.

在抛硬币演示中，前印度击球手桑贾伊·曼杰雷卡 (Sanjay Manjrekar) 表示，“那么我们就不应该出来抛硬币”，他承认队长们的意图出人意料地一致。

"We'll bat first. The way our team is poised, we would look to put a score on the board. Wicket looks slightly on the slower side," Pant explained his decision.

“我们会先击球。按照我们球队的状态，我们会在棋盘上得分。检门看起来稍微慢一些，”潘特解释了他的决定。

Iyer, despite losing the coin toss, echoed Pant's sentiments: "We were looking to bowl first. Rishabh and I were having a chat - he said 'we're looking to bat' and I said we're looking to bowl. We're trying to keep things as simple as possible. When you lose a game like that, scoring 260, it's easy for people to go away from each other and backbite. But we're keeping everyone together."

尽管输掉了抛硬币，艾耶还是回应了潘特的观点：“我们想先打保龄球。里沙布和我正在聊天——他说‘我们想击球’，我说我们想打保龄球。我们”我们试图让事情尽可能简单，当你输掉一场像 260 分这样的比赛时，人们很容易互相疏远并互相诽谤，但我们让每个人都团结在一起。”

In terms of team composition, DC brought in Prithvi Shaw to replace Kumar Kushagra, while right-arm pacer Rasikh Salam Dar also joined their playing XI. KKR, too, made two changes, including the inclusion of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc and right-arm pacer Vaibhav Arora.

阵容方面，DC引进了Prithvi Shaw取代Kumar Kushagra，而右臂步行者Rasikh Salam Dar也加入了他们的首发阵容。 KKR 也做出了两项改变，包括澳大利亚快速投球手米切尔·斯塔克 (Mitchell Starc) 和右臂步行者瓦伊巴夫·阿罗拉 (Vaibhav Arora) 的加入。

The match between KKR and DC is set to commence shortly at the Eden Gardens. The toss outcome has created an intriguing dynamic, as both captains have obtained their desired starting conditions. It remains to be seen how the two teams will execute their game plans and who will emerge victorious in this high-stakes encounter.

KKR 和 DC 之间的比赛即将在伊甸花园开始。抛掷的结果创造了一个有趣的动态，因为两位队长都获得了他们想要的起始条件。两队将如何执行比赛计划，谁将在这场高风险的交锋中取得胜利，还有待观察。
