DC vs KXIP Dream11 Team: The second day of the Indian Premier League 2020 will witness Delhi Capitals face off against Kings XI Punjab. The DC team are new favourites to be the champion this year, due to the star-studded batting line up with the bowling department equally good. The new additions to the squad, Shimron Hetymer, and Marcus Stoinis will look to grab the opportunity with both hands to help the team win their maiden IPL title. Ravichandran Ashwin, who switched to the DC team this year, will look to start the proceedings in a convincing way for setting a proper platform with Kagiso Rabada to contain the opposition team with their accuracy and skills. The Indian players who form a core part of the batting unit including Shreyas Iyer will be the driving force of the team.

On the other side, the Kings XI Punjab team too looks potent with T20 specialist players in their ranks. The team’s top-order looks top-notch with KL Rahul and Chris Gayle at the helm. The middle-order has a serious talent in Nicholas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell, who performed incredibly well for their respective teams in the recently concluded series. The new additions to the squad, Chris Jordan and Sheldon Cottrell also look in good touch. The experience of Mohammad Shami and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the IPL would surely help the team in pressure situations. Both the teams have a fantastic balance, and it would be interesting to see which team comes over the top in the DC vs KXIP Dream 11 prediction.

DC vs KXIP Dream11 Team Prediction and Tips

Captain Choices

C Gayle: The best and the most destructive batsman in the history of T20 cricket – Chris Gayle be the man to watch out in this IPL, though he might not be in touch recently, but we could never get our eyes off him. He has 4484 runs under his belt in 125 matches; he has played in the IPL over the years. ‘Universe Boss’ Gayle will be the opener for KXIP; Gayle can single-handedly destroy any bowling attack and would be very crucial to the team’s performance in this season.

KL Rahul: He will continue to be the opener for the KXIP. He was in some good form in the previous edition of IPL and he will look to be in similar touch this season. KL has scored 1977 runs in just 67 matches he has played over the years. He can gather a good number of points. This time he’ll have to soak the extra pressure of captaincy as well. With this responsibility, he can turn out to be one of the best captain’s pick for DC vs KXIP Dream 11 today match prediction.

S Dhawan: The star Indian opener will open the innings for the Delhi Capitals with Prithvi Shaw on the other side with him. He can be very nasty, when he’s in good touch. He has scored 4578 runs in 159 IPL matches, which makes him the top IPL player as well. He can’t be left out or risked not being made the captain of our fantasy teams as he can trouble the opposition with his skills.

Vice-Captain choices

Shreyas Iyer: The captain of the DC team was one of the most consistent players in the recent series for the national team. In the IPL 2019, he scored 463 runs and helped the team to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. With a calm head and optimum skills, he can turn out to be one of the best vice-captain pick for your fantasy team.

Nicholas Pooran: Coming into the tournament with a brilliant CPL performance, he must be feeling positive about his batting and would like to continue his form to help the team win their maiden IPL title. He could not score enough runs in the last IPL, but given his form, he can surprise everyone by his performance.

Prithvi Shaw: A talented youngster, who played his first test match for India at the age of 19, is a sure-shot vice-captain pick for your fantasy team. In the last IPL, he scored 353 runs in 16 matches and gave a good opening stand to the team along with Shikhar Dhawan. With an aggressive mindset, he can increase your fantasy team points in no time!
