It has been a disastrous season so far for the Delhi Capitals team, as they haven’t even won a single game in their five games this time. Marching on to the next, DC is having a home game against Kolkata Knight Riders which is doing well this season. KKR couldn’t win their last game even after the scintillating century of Venkatesh Iyer. So, both the teams at this point of the tournament are eagerly waiting for a win, which makes the expectations for this game go sky-high.

A perfect batting wicket that will also favor the spin bowlers with some turns.
Since it is in Delhi, we can expect the world-beater Warner to fight hard for his side. But what makes things even worse is the bowling attack of KKR for DC. Except for Warner, no one looks in good form with the bat. So, the chances are high for KKR.
David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Rovman Powell, Abhishek Porel, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed
Rahmanullah Gurbaz(wk) , Narayan Jagadeesan, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana(C), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Shardul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy
Warner is not the one who will leave it without a fight. He tends to fight by putting himself in front. With the home advantage, he will look to score runs.
The skipper of KKR failed to perform well in the last game, but what he did in the previous games was outstanding. He is a batter who can treat both spinners and fast bowlers equally.
The in-form left-handers of KKR are V Iyer and R Singh. They are seriously in a different phase of their career.
The attacking nature of Gurbaz is the main source of KKR. He is a kind of a player who never worries about who the opponent bowler is; he works on his strength, which makes him an effective opening choice.
All three have the job with both the bat and the ball. Most importantly, they love taking responsibility on their shoulders. This makes them a definite pick for our side.
The pacers, Ferguson and Nortje, are lethal with their extraordinary pace. On this wicket, it is the right choice to go with.
Chakravarthi is finding a great rhythm off-late. And that makes him prolific for KKR.
