In the 41st match of IPL 2021, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Delhi Capitals in Sharjah on 28th September. DC defeated KKR the last time these two teams met this season. 

Kolkata Knight Riders have changed their approach to aggressive in the 2nd phase of the IPL 2021. Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill are looking to hit a boundary off every ball, which makes them dangerous for any bowling lineup. Rahul Tripathi has been consistent. Dinesh Karthik looked in good touch in the last game. 

There is a chance Andre Russell might sit out due to injury. Shakib Al Hasan might replace Russell if the conditions allow, or Ben Cutting. Lockie Ferguson will be the player to watch out for. 

Delhi Capitals has a strong batting, with all players looking in fine touch. Shikhar Dhawan is the orange cap holder, while Prithvi Shaw is known for his blistering starts. Shreyas Iyer is in brilliant form along with Rishabh Pant. Delhi might bring Steve Smith in to strengthen the middle order and give the finishers' role to Shimron Hetmyer. 

Anrich Nortje is bowling fireballs this season and is the key bowler for DC. R Ashwin can be the game-changer for Delhi. 

Both teams have been on each other's throats across the seasons and currently, Kolkata dominates the head-to-head record with 14 wins in 27 matches.
