DC vs KKR IPL: Delhi Playing XI, News, Player Stats, Head to Head

DC vs KKR IPL: The Delhi Capitals (DC) witnessed a heartening 1-run defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their previous game and their skipper Rishabh Pant would surely be disappointed on not having able to finish the game. However, DC have done fairly well in this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season, having won 4 out of 6 matches. The Delhi Capitals are now up against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their seventh match of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 29.

DC vs KKR IPL: Delhi Playing XI News

Steve Smith’s slow batting approach in the last 3 matches has been a big worry for the Delhi Capitals which makes a case for Sam Billings’ inclusion in the playing XI. Both Anrich Nortje and Chris Woakes are available for this game but they are likely to continue to warm the bench in this match as Ishant Sharma had a decent first game against RCB.
