DC are at number seven currently in the points table, and got off the mark with a 20-run win over Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. KKR, the two-time IPL champions, are up at second place and still undefeated in the competition. In the last three IPL meetings between these two teams, DC have emerged victorious.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the toss, Iyer said young batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi comes back into the playing eleven. \u201cThe wicket looks like a belter, no drastic change in the wicket when compared to the last game. It's been quite a journey, was with Delhi and now with KKR, I'm comfortable with this switch.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAnything can happen on a given day, it's important to stick to the process. We've Sunil (Narine) coming in and going after the bowlers in the first 6 overs, so his role is very clear and the rest know what's expected of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
DC skipper Rishabh Pant said fast-bowler Mukesh Kumar is injured and is replaced by seam-bowling all-rounder Sumit Kumar in the playing eleven. \u201cWe would have batted first as well, could get a bit slower. It was nice to be back with the group, but I'm not thinking too far ahead.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe bowlers did a great job, especially the fast bowlers, and we'd like them to do it once again. Not thinking about the team combination for the first two games, but we've had people working hard in the nets. We just need to keep doing the right things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
