What a fantastic season it has been for Kolkata Knight Riders so far in IPL 2021. When the season resumed in UAE last month, they were seventh on the IPL 2021 points table and they had to win 5 of their last 7 games to even make the IPL 2021 playoffs, which they managed narrowly. The turnaround got even better when they beat an in-form RCB in the Eliminator and now find themselves in the final three teams of the season.
They’re playing the IPL 2021 Qualifier 2 which is s good as a semi final as both teams will be playing for a berth in the finals where they will meet Chennai Super Kings. KKR’s opposition for today is Delhi Capitals who topped the points table but they are a bit demoralised after that Qualifier 1 match they lost to CSK a couple of days back.

Stats that matter

- Venkatesh Iyer – only one single-digit score in 8 games.
- Avesh Khan – 23 wickets in 15 games in IPL 2021.
Kolkata Knight Riders
They’ve got a spin barrage and that’s what helped them beat RCB and guess what?! We’re playing at the same Sharjah pitch where they restricted RCB to 138 and chased it in the final over. Varun Chakravarthy was wicketless in the last game but has been their leading wicket-taker in IPL 2021, so he makes our KOL vs DC fantasy team while the other two spinners in Sunil Narine and Shakib al Hasan must be picked too.
There’s talk about Andre Russell’s fitness but we see Shakib continuing in this game, especially after the cool head he kept in the chase in the Eliminator. With the bat, Shubman Gill will be a super popular pick in everyone’s KOL vs DC My11Circle teams but I’d rather have Venkatesh Iyer who has been way more consistent. Nitish Rana struggled in the last game and we think Rahul Tripathi in the middle order will be a better choice.
Delhi Capitals
They’re still sweating the fitness of Marcus Stoinis and if he’s 100%, he’ll be coming in for Tom Curran who couldn’t deliver in the last over against CSK. With the ball, many will have Avesh Khan in their My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) KOL vs DC fantasy teams but he’s got 2 scalps in his last 3 games and has been poor in the death, so we’d rather pick someone like Anrich Nortje who has bee brilliant in the last couple of games.

Kagiso Rabada has also had a very mediocre season and they decided to not even let him bowl the 20th over in Qualifier 1, so we’re gambling and leaving him out too. Instead, Ravi Ashwin is worth a gamble on this spinning track in Sharjah. With the bat, Shreyas Iyer has had a couple of failures in recent games and with the final list of changes for the India squad to the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 coming soon, he’ll want to make an impression.
