Adam Gilchrist won the toss and decided that the Deccan Chargers will bat first in a crucial game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Gilchrist said that the side was struggling with the injuries and would go in with many changes to the side. Anirudh Singh, Venugopal Rao, Dwayne Smith and Rahul Sharma were all being brought into the playing eleven.
Kumble also made three changes to the side as B Akhil, Nayan Doshi (son of former cricketer Dilip Doshi) and Cameron White came into the side.
