Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Delhi Capitals in the 47th match of the Indian Premier League at the Eden Gardens Kolkata on Monday. KKR would have been disappointed after losing their last game against Punjab Kings despite putting on a par score of 261 runs on the board.
Delhi Capitals have found a fresh lease of life since Jake Fraser-McGurk has made his IPL debut. The Australian scored a scintillating knock of 84 off just 27 balls against Mumbai Indians.
We take a lot at the head-to-head battle, Players to watch out for, and Squads of both teams in our match preview.
