DC vs KKR IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat first against Delhi Capitals. Winning this toss is indeed advantageous, considering the potential challenges in chasing on this pitch, which was quite clear in the previous match where Chennai Super Kings struggled to hit the bowlers under the lighting conditions. According to Google Win Predictor, KKR is the favorite to emerge victorious in this encounter. However, DC will exude immense confidence following their recent triumph over the reigning champions, Chennai Super Kings, at the same venue.
IPL 2024: Why Mukesh Kumar Is Not Playing In DC vs KKR?
Delhi Capitals suffered another blow ahead of the huge encounter against KKR. Their in-form bowler Mukesh Kumar was forced out of the DC vs KKR match due to an injury. He has been replaced by Sumit Kumar in DC Playing XI.
Notably, Mukesh picked up 3 wickets against CSK while giving away just 21 runs in four overs.
This is another huge setback for DC, who are already without star spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The Indian spinner also sat out the last match against CSK due to an injury, and he remains out of the squad at the moment.
