Delhi Capitals will square off against Kolkata Knight Riders at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. Shreyas Iyer, now Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain, led Delhi Capitals to the 2020 final but missed the first half of the 2021 season due to a shoulder injury.
DC then decided to pass on the captaincy baton to Rishabh Pant but the wicket-keeper also missed IPL 2023 after a horrific car accident. Iyer, on the other hand, missed the 2023 edition due to a back injury. These two, previously teammates at Delhi Capitals, will be rival captains.
Meanwhile, DC has managed a solitary win out of the three games they have played whereas KKR has won both of their matches.
