SRH vs DC Who Won the Toss Today? – Match 31 IPL 2026 Toss Update

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has won the toss and elected to bowl first against the home franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad in match no. 31 of the Indian Premier League 2026. The game will start at 07:30 pm IST.

Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

"We are bowling first. It is important to win matches instead of the toss. It is good to play 100 matches for a franchise, and hopefully, we will end up winning the game. It is not easy to manage a big squad, but everyone knows that we can only play 11 players," Axar Patel said.

SRH skipper Ishan Kishan urged his players to execute the plans.

"It is hard to decide about the wicket as it is different from the past two matches. The execution is more important than the results," he said.
