Another big match is waiting on Monday in the Indian Premier League 2024. This time there will be a clash between Delhi Capitals captained by Rishabh Pant and Kolkata Knight Riders captained by Shreyas Iyer. The match will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The opening pair of Sunil Narine and Phil Salt have performed brilliantly for KKR this season. Both of them have scored runs at the rate of about 12 runs per over this season and have been the third fastest run-scoring pair. Thanks to Narine and Salt, KKR have scored around 11 runs per over in the powerplay and have been the second fastest run-scoring team in the powerplay. Salt has scored runs at a strike rate of 176 against fast bowlers and 138 against spinners. Andre Russell has scored 408 runs against PBKS at a strike rate of 200. This is their highest strike rate against any team in the IPL. Russell has hit 79 sixes so far at Eden Gardens and he is the batsman who has hit the most sixes on this ground.
Bowling has been a matter of concern in DC’s powerplay and KKR will look to take advantage of this. DC has taken the second-highest combined total of 14 wickets in the powerplay this season in nine matches. However, their average of 40.3 is the third worst average. Their economy in powerplay has been 10.46 which is the second highest. Jasprit Bumrah has taken 13 wickets this season and is the joint-highest wicket-taker.
