IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders – Match Preview

Delhi Capitals will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 48th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Tuesday. While Delhi Capitals have won six out of their nine games, KKR have managed only three wins in nine games with one no result.

The reigning champions’ batting unit hasn’t been able to deliver consistently and it has led to their downfall. Furthermore, there has been a lot of chopping and changing in the batting order, which hasn’t helped.

Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have come up with consistent performances but barring the duo, the other batters have struggled.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals suffered a home loss in the last game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. DC could only manage 162 runs on a sluggish Delhi wicket and they would want to come up with an improved batting show.

DC had ticked the right boxes in the first half of the season and they would not want to veer off the track in the second phase of the league.

Head to Head: KKR 18 – 15 DC

DC Probable XII: Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Ashutosh Sharma

KKR Probable XII: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ramandeep Singh/Manish Pandey, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Moeen Ali, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy

Kolkata Knight Riders Squad: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Rovman Powell, Vaibhav Arora, Chetan Sakariya, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Anrich Nortje, Manish Pandey, Anukul Roy, Luvnith Sisodia, Quinton de Kock, Spencer Johnson, Mayank Markande, Moeen Ali, Ramandeep Singh

Delhi Capitals Squad: Abishek Porel, Faf du Plessis, Karun Nair, KL Rahul(w), Axar Patel(c), Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Madhav Tiwari, Tripurana Vijay, Sameer Rizvi, Donovan Ferreira, Darshan Nalkande, T Natarajan, Ajay Jadav Mandal, Manvanth Kumar L
