India's biggest cricketing carnival, the Indian Premier League has now entered into its 17th edition and like always, the ongoing season has caught the imagination of cricket fans around the world.
Vizag is the designated home venue for DC for few games, and after a morale-boosting win against CSK, it is the high-flying KKR unit that will lock horns against Rishabh Pant and co.
Delhi Capitals have won one game out of the three played so far this season, while KKR are unbeaten in the two games they have played.
Overall, in the IPL, DC have not been the consistent team and are yet to win a trophy, while KKR have won two titles back in 2012 and 2014.
However, against KKR, DC have done well and have won 15 out of the 31 matches they have played against KKR. The Men in Purple and Gold are just marginally ahead with 16 wins.

DC and KKR have played against each other on 12 different venues and most matches have been played at DC's home ground, Arun Jaitley Stadium. Out of the 10 matches played at that venue, five have been won by DC and five by KKR.
At Eden Gardens, 9 games have been played between the two teams, and KKR have dominated with 7 wins while DC have won 2.
No game between the two sides have been played at Vizag, and DC would be hoping that they build on the confidence they gained with a win against CSK, and hand KKR their first loss of the season.
