DD vs KKR - Preview

All eyes will be on 23-year-old Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer as he has been handed the responsibility or reviving the fortunes of the Daredevils after veteran India opener Gautam Gambhir stepped down as captain earlier this week.

Gambhir said that the position of DD on the points table (five defeats from six games) forced him to arrive at the decision and backed Iyer to turn it around for the Delhi-based franchise, who are perennial underperformers.

Can Iyer help DD find a win?

Iyer faces an uphill task but a good start to his captaincy stint in the IPL will work wonders. DD are heading into the match on the back of a four-run defeat to Kings XI Punjab at home.

Notably, the Daredevils were crushed by 71 runs in their early-season match against the Knight Riders at Eden Gardens as spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine shone with the ball in making sure the then visitors did not even come close to the target of 201 runs.

The Daredevils would badly want their batting unit to buckle up and the spark that India U-19 World Cup-winning captain Prithvi Shaw provided during his maiden IPL outing against KXIP should give them a lot of confidence.

Gambhir will also be looking to improve his performance with the bat, given he has relieved himself of the pressure of captaincy.

On the other hand, the Knight Riders are resuming their IPL campaign after a five-day break. They were completely outplayed by KXIP at home in a rain-affected match last week in Kolkata.

Dinesh Karthik's men will be looking to get back to winning ways as they need two points to stay within touching distance of the top-three teams on the points table.

Daredevils: Shreyas Iyer (c), Gautam Gambhir, Prithvi Shaw, Glenn Maxwell, Rishabh Pant (wk), Vijay Shankar, Daniel Christian, Amit Mishra, Liam Plunkett, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult.
