IPL 2021, Preview: Delhi Capitals Take On Buoyant Knight Riders

Delhi Capitals (DC), whose form has tapered off a bit in recent times, will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. D

Skipper Rishabh Pant too appears to be in the form as he scored an unbeaten fifty in the last match. For KKR, the good news is that their skipper Eoin Morgan is back in form. He scored an unbeaten 47 to see the team through to victory in the last match.

Their bowling too looks well-rounded. Young Shivam Mavi was brilliant and miserly in his bowling while Prasidh Krishna too delivered.
