    IPL 2026: Inconsistent DC Look To Arrest Slide Against Surging KKR (Preview)

    By IANS News May 07, 2026 • 13:54 PM View: 266
    Kolkata Knight Riders: As the race for the IPL 2026 playoffs intensifies, time is fast evaporating for a stuttering Delhi Capitals. To keep their hopes alive, Axar Patel’s men must arrest a prolonged slide in form and a dismal home record when they host a surging Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday evening.

    While DC has managed a solitary win from five home games this season, three-time winners KKR arrive on the back of a three-match winning streak after a torrid start that saw them be winless in their first six matches. History also favours the visitors - KKR holds a 3-0 head-to-head advantage over DC since 2024, and a win on Friday would see them leapfrog the hosts on the points table.

    DC’s struggles have been punctuated by a chronic lack of stability. The side has fielded 20 players in ten games - the second-most for a side in the tournament - mirroring the unsettled approach that marred their 2025 season. This ‘selection roulette’ was evident in their eight-wicket loss to CSK, where Karun Nair replaced Sameer Rizvi in the playing eleven, only for the latter to be summoned as an Impact Player following yet another top-order collapse.
