IPL 2024: DC vs KKR Perfect Playing 11 for Both Teams

Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer face off as we look at IPL 2024 DC vs KKR best playing 11 and dream fantasy lineups for both teams.

It’s match 16 of TATA IPL 2024, and we have the Delhi Capitals taking on the Kolkata Knight Riders at DC’s home ground, Vizag. Both teams are coming off a good win in their last encounter. While Delhi Capitals stopped the high-flying Chennai Super Kings while defending the target, the Kolkata Knight Riders defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their home den.

Delhi Capitals, after their two back-to-back defeats needed a boost in their campaign, and what better than defeating the table-toppers CSK? With one table-topper defeated, Delhi Capitals are now once again up against another table-topper, KKR. A win against KKR will give a lot of confidence to the Delhi Capitals, and will make sure they are back in the race for Playoffs. 

For Kolkata Knight Riders, they need to keep things simple as they have been doing so far. They have two wins from two games, and they are up against a side, that only recently defeated the table-topper CSK. KKR have done really well as a team with key contributions from some new names. But what they need more is for players like Mitchell Starc, Varun Chakravarthy, etc., to step up.

Kolkata Knight Riders Best Playing 11 vs DC

Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a big blow in the last match as Nitish Rana couldn’t play the match after being declared unfit. The situation doesn’t seem to be too good for Nitish Rana, who is in contention of being ruled out from the tournament. So, expect Nitish Rana to miss this match as well, and instead, KKR will play Angkrish Raghuvanshi as they did in the last match.

Overall, KKR have been pretty good in both the teams with contributions from their new players, Phil Salt and Harshit Rana. But apart from these two, the team would also need Mitchell Starc and Varun Chakravarthy to contribute well. Both have been underwhelming so far in the tournament, and for the team to continue the momentum, these two need to step up.
