DC vs KKR: IPL 2024 team news
There is no update on Kuldeep Yadav, who missed the match against the Chennai Super Kings with a niggle. Delhi won that match. He is not playing against KKR either. Delhi may want to go in with three overseas players and keep their Impact Player option open.
Against Chennai, the Delhi seamers were exceptional with their wide slower balls and wide yorkers, something the Kolkata Knight Riders have certainly taken notice of. With Sunil Narine at the top, they now have a batting line-up that extends to No.9 (No.10, if they bowl first) – with the much-feared duo of Rinku Singh and Andre Russell in the middle.

DC vs KKR: Prediction for today’s IPL match
DC’s better-rounded seam attack, all of whom were brilliant on the Vizag surface, probably gives them an edge over KKR – but only marginally. The sides are evenly matched.
