Who to Watch Out For KKR vs DC Match
- KKR:
Venkatesh Iyer, who smashed a fifty in the previous match, will be crucial at the top of the order. Andre Russell's all-rounding skills are always a threat, and Mitchell Starc's pace will test the DC batsmen.
- DC:
David Warner and Prithvi Shaw will look to provide a solid opening partnership. Rishabh Pant's explosive batting and Axar Patel's all-round contribution will be key for DC.
Their bowling attack, comprising Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav (if picked), and Ishant Sharma/Rasikh Salam, has the potential to dismantle the KKR batting.
The Toss
Winning the toss could be crucial. The pitch at Visakhapatnam is known to be a balanced one, favouring both batters and bowlers. Chasing might be preferred due to the dew factor later in the evening.
