David Warner’s side will be looking to register their first win of the tournament when they host a deflated Kolkata Knight Riders in Delhi. The Delhi Capitals are the only winless team in the IPL this season, losing each of their five matches so far. They have struggled to click as a unit despite the likes of Axar Patel and David Warner holding their own to an extent.
Their upcoming opponents Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, are on a two-match losing streak and will be keen to return to winning ways. They have a decent roster filled with experience and firepower, with Andre Russell and Sunil Narine holding the key. With both teams eyeing an all-important win, another cracking encounter is on the cards in Delhi.

Probable best batter Venkatesh Iyer
The KKR all-rounder put on a batting masterclass in the previous game as he registered a swashbuckling century against Mumbai Indians. The lanky batter’s range of shots has garnered him applause from all corners, and he will be hoping to further enhance his reputation as a dependable batter in the upcoming fixtures.
Probable best bowler Suyash Sharma
It is hard to imagine that a 19-year-old legspinner is outshining the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy in a star-studded KKR bowling line-up. Suyash Sharma was exceptional in the previous outing against Mumbai Indians when all the other KKR bowlers were torn apart by the Mumbai batters. He is slowly becoming a vital cog of the KKR bowling unit.
