Key Batters to Watch for KKR vs DC:

Abishek Porel

After lighting up the show in the first game of the season, Porel has been disappointing for a while now. He has now been elevated to open the innings for his side, which should improve his returns.

Rinku Singh

A player from the Subcontinent having such a good backfoot game is surprising but in this season, Rinku has not been amongst runs until now and with the World Cup squad on the verge of getting announced he will like to have runs over his name.

Key Bowlers to Watch for KKR vs DC:

Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy is a spinner every time craves for, he has the defensive skills and control which allow him to bowl in all three phases of the innings.

Mukesh Kumar

In the absence of the big names, Mukesh Kumar will have to take the onus of bowling the death overs for his side which is a big deal for him considering the pace at which he bowls.
