Kolkatta Knight riders (KKR) Team preview
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have started the IPL 2024 season on a strong note, winning both their matches so far. In their previous game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), they showcased their batting prowess by chasing down a formidable target of 183 with relative ease. The veteran Sunil Narine, playing his 500th T20 game, played a blistering knock of 47 runs off just 22 balls, setting the tone for the chase. Venkatesh Iyer continued the momentum with a well-crafted 50 off 30 balls, helping KKR overhaul the target with 19 balls to spare.
KKR’s probable playing XI for the match against Delhi Capitals (DC) includes Philip Salt (wicket-keeper), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Nitish Rana/Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Mitchell Starc, Anukul Roy, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Suyash Sharma. The availability of Nitish Rana, who missed the previous match due to an undisclosed injury, remains uncertain. If he is fit, he might replace Ramandeep Singh in the playing XI.

Despite a brief middle-order collapse, captain Rishabh Pant’s blistering half-century propelled DC to a competitive total of 191/5.
DC’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Khaleel Ahmed’s early strikes, put pressure on CSK’s batters from the outset. Although CSK tried to stage a comeback, DC’s disciplined bowling and tight fielding ensured they secured a 20-run victory.

DC vs KKR What the captains are saying
Rishabh Pant – We would have batted first as well, could get a bit slower. It was nice to be back with the group, but I’m not thinking too far ahead. Thew bowlers did a great job, the fast bowlers, and we’d like them to do it once again. Not thinking about the team combination for the first two games, but we’ve had people working hard in the nets. We just need to keep doing the right things – one change, Mukesh is injured and he’s replaced by Sumit.
Shreyas Iyer – We’ll bat first. The wicket looks like a belter, no drastic change in the wicket when compared to the last game. It’s been quite a journey, was a with Delhi and now with KKR, I’m comfortable with this switch. Anything can happen on a given day, it’s important to stick to the process. We’ve Sunil (Narine) coming in and going after the bowlers in the first 6 overs, so his role is very clear and the rest know what’s expected of them. One change – Angrish Raghuvanshi comes in
