DC vs KKR Important Player Stats (Top Five)

DC vs KKR Toss Factor

The DC openers thrashed the new ball while batting first in the last match that was played at Vizag. On the other hand, at the beginning of the second innings, it looked like the pacers were getting a bit of help from the surface. It seems like the team batting first will have an advantage; however, with their depth, KKR might prefer chasing a target. 

Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the toss

• The Capitals might look to bat first after winning the toss. In this case, their top order of David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Rishab Pant, and Mitchell Marsh will be important. Keep at least two of these four players in your fantasy team. 
• The wicket had good pace and bounce. The bowlers with good yorkers could be decisive, especially in the death phase. Mukesh Kumar and a not-so-much-in-rhythm Anrich Nortje might be good choices from the DC bowling line-up. 

Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the toss

• KKR's batting order is very varied, deep, and flexible. They might trust their batting line-up and chase down a target in this match. Sunil Narine has been a revelation as a batter and could be a decisive choice in this case with his all-round ability. Barring Narine, batters like Shreyas Iyer, Phil Salt and Andre Russell could be decisive fantasy picks from the side. 
• Harshit Rana has been a trump card for the KKR team in this tournament. He has so far been a regular wicket-taker and will be an obvious choice for the fantasy contests. Alongside Rana, Mitchell Starc, who has so far been a flop show in the tournament, could gain his rhythm here.

DC vs KKR Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the match

David Warner (DC)

The Australian opener has been in form for DC in this tournament. Warner has started all the games, and if they bat first, the southpaw will be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests. 

Mukesh Kumar (DC)

The Indian pacer has been in great rhythm with the ball. Mukesh can be efficient in both the powerplays and the death overs, making Kumar a crucial pick as the C/VC of the match. 

Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the match

Phil Salt has looked good with the bat for KKR in IPL 2024 [iplt20.com]

Phil Salt (KKR)

The English batter has looked good with the bat in the tournament. Phil Salt provides top-order solidity alongside Narine's dynamism. With Salt's form in the last 12-14 months, he could be a beneficial choice as the C/VC for the match. 

Harshit Rana (KKR)

The young Indian pacer has emerged as the biggest trump card for the KKR in IPL 2024. Harshit Rana has been their best wicket-taker in the tournament and should be one of the prime choices as the C/VC for this game.

DC vs KKR High Risk, High Reward

Prithvi Shaw (DC)

The management ignored the Indian opener for the first couple of games. However, Prithvi Shaw made a rocking come-back with the bat in the last game. However, Shaw's concern has been his hot and cold form over the years. Therefore, selecting Shaw as the C/VC will come with its risks.

Sunil Narine (KKR)

Gautam Gambhir has returned to KKR as a mentor, and with that, Sunil Narine is being fully utilised as a player. However, Narine is yet to deliver the outstanding bowling spell he is known for, and the West Indian as a batter could be inconsistent. If Narine performs, he could be a decisive choice as the C/VC, but there will be risks involved with this pick. 

DC vs KKR Stay Aways

Tristan Stubbs (DC)

The South African middle-order batter has not found his rhythm with the bat at all. Stubbs could be a game-changer when in form, but given his last few performances, Stubbs should be avoided for this match. 

Varun Chakravarthy (KKR)

KKR's mystery spinner has not been in the best of form with the ball. Varun Chakravarthy is failing to contain runs and pick up wickets. The wicket at ACA-VDCA stadium might not suit his bowling, and hence, he is a player you can avoid in this game.
