KKR vs DC Today Match Playing 11: Delhi Capitals (DC) will lock horns with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 29. The hosts will be eager to return to winning ways following a recent six-wicket defeat at the hands of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). While DC currently occupy the fourth position on the IPL 2025 points table and have displayed impressive form throughout the season, Ajinkya Rahane's Kolkata Knight Riders find themselves in seventh place and in need of a resurgence after a string of consecutive losses.
Both the teams will look to field their best playing XI in the high-octane clash with the playoff race heating up.
For Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals, the inclusion of the experienced 33-year-old Dushmantha Chameera in their playing XI is likely to continue. Chameera made a notable impact in the previous match against RCB by taking the crucial wicket of Virat Kohli and delivering a tight bowling spell, although his efforts ultimately couldn't secure a victory for his team. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to maintain their current playing XI and strategically utilize their substitute player to introduce variations and hopefully discover a winning combination in this crucial fixture.
KKR's predicted XI against DC:
Sunil Narine, Rahamanullah Gurbaz, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russel, Vaibhav Arora, Venkatesh Iyer, Rovman Powell, Chetan Sakariya, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy
