IPL 2024 – Match 47, KKR vs DC: Mitchell Starc to Make a Comeback? Kolkata Knight Riders Strongest Probable Playing 11 vs Delhi Capitals

Match 47 of IPL 2024 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on 29th April, Monday. This match will be held at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders has 5 wins from 8 matches this season, having lost their last match to PBKS by 8 wickets.

Delhi Capitals also has 5 wins, having played 10 matches so far, and they won their last match against MI by 10 runs.

Vaibhav Arora Expected to Play:

Vaibhav Arora, who has taken 7 wickets from 4 matches, is expected to return to the XI. He might replace Anukul Roy or Dushmantha Chameera if KKR decides to go with an all-Indian pace attack.

Mitchell Starc, if fit, could reclaim his place in the XI by replacing Chameera, who was expensive against PBKS.

Shreyas Iyer Returns to Form:

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer was struggling with his form earlier in the tournament, but he is back in form now. Against RCB, he scored 50 runs, and in the last match, he smashed 28 runs off 10 deliveries.

Sunil Narine has scored the most runs for KKR this season, tallying 357 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 184.

Varun Chakravarthy’s Form a Concern for KKR:

Varun, who has been a consistent performer for KKR since the IPL 2020 season, has struggled this time to take wickets or be economical with the ball. His economy rate is 9.72 this season.

Last year, Varun was the highest wicket-taker for KKR, picking 20 wickets, and his economy rate was just 8.14.
