Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will meet for the second time in the IPL 2022 and both teams will be desperate for a win as the business end of the tournament approaches. It will be a test of captaincy for both Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer as both have faltered as leaders during the tournament and it is time that they prove the leadership qualities that they possess and come back to winning ways.
Rishabh Pant’s team will be looking for Mitchell Marsh to make his debut for them and give them the balance that they need at number three. Marsh’s abilities with both bat and ball can give the kind of impetus that the Delhi team needs at this stage of the tournament.
On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer’s KKR need to sort out their opening combination as quickly as possible. They have tried different combinations and yet have not been able to get the kind of starts that they needed. It will be interesting to see if they go back to specialist Ajinkya Rahane to open alongside Aaron Finch in their upcoming game.
