Team KKR
Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa lead the batting line-up against DD. Manish Pandey will be the match stabilizer for KKR if one of the openers fail. Next up, Chris Lynn, Colin Munro, Shakib-al-Hasan and Yusuf Pathan make the explosive middle order for KKR. Morne Morkel and Umesh Yadav will most likely lead the Pace attack against DD with Piyush Chawla and Brad Hogg leading the spin. It is uncertain whether Narine will play or not; but if he does, he is going to be a big problem for DD. KKR fans will want to see Andre Russel and Jason Holder in the squad too, so it is going to be tough for Gautam Gambhir to create the perfect team. Luckily, though, he has a very large pool of capable players to choose from.
Team DD
This DD squad has a Rajasthan Royals touch. Mayank Agarwal and Quinton de Kock are a dangerous
opening duo . Sanju Samson, last year's IPL young rising star, will be one of their key players. And that's not all. JP Duminy, Shreyas Iyer, Carlos Brathwaite will provide excellent support to the batting line-up. With the ball, Zaheer Khan will lead the pace along with Coulter-Nile. Mohammed Shami is yet another pacer to watch out for. Amit Mishra will be the important leg-spinner, with assistance from Duminy and Iyer if needed. Shahbaz Nadeem and Pawan Negi might also be in the side, judging from the amount of young players that DD have inducted into their squad.
Match winning percentage
KKR- 56%
DD- 44%
Note: that is totally based on my perspective. I've given KKR 56% chance because of their sheer experience. Match is very evenly balanced though.
Also, last but not the least, I'm supporting KKR!!!
