IPL 2021: Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata knight Riders predicted XI
Subhabrata Mukherjee :-
On Thursday night Delhi Capitals will lock horn with Kolkata knight Riders. These two teams until now have a different fortune all together. While Kolkata is languishing at the bottom of the table Rishabh Pant and his men are on the top half of the table.
In their last match Rishabh Pant and his men lost the match heartbreakingly by a single run. Pant and Hetmyer almost pulled of a sensational win while chasing 172 runs. Delhi batting looks strong as most of their top and middle order batsmen are in form. While their bowling is weakened a bit by the absence of senior bowler Ravichandran Ashwin as he had to leave bio bubble due to his family members getting corona effected.
Kolkata on the other hand would love to win this match to keep the momentum going. In their last match vs Punjab they had a comfortable win. As they won the match with 20 balls to spare. But their top order batting still remains a cause of concern. People like Gill,Rana needs to pull up their socks. KKR would love to beat DC today to maintain their position in the points table. Now take a look at what we think is the best predicted XI for both the teams.
∆ Delhi Capitals:
Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Steve Smith, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Avesh Khan.
∆ Kolkata Knight Riders:
Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (C), Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Mavi, Prasidh Krishna.
