Delhi Daredevils (DD) are back in their derby. DD, who are the bottom of the points table will take on Kings XI from Punjab (KXIP), who are among the top two. There is no question that the DD have been the least impressive among all teams in past few seasons. It is their first home match and they will look to take that advantage against Chris Gayle-inspired Punjab side. While KXIP have won four and lost one of their five games, DD have won one and lost four. Despite having a two-time IPL champion skipper, DD are having an awful time. Multiple changes have been made, fresh faces brought in, but no results. While promising Rishabh Pant leads the batting side, it is their bowling unit that is disappointing. Here is DD’s probable dream XI against Punjab.
Delhi Daredevils: Jason Roy, Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Glenn Maxwell, Amit Mishra, Chris Morris, Mohammed Shami, Trent Boult, Rahul Tewatia, Jayant Yadav
Talking about Punjab side, skipper Ravichandran Ashwin-led side have been one of the most impressive side this tournament. While Ashwin’s captaincy is impressing one and all, their top order (Gayle and KL Rahul) is in such a good form that anyone hardly looks at the middle order. But the only worry for the side is Axar Patel and Yuvraj Singh’s form. Here is Kings XI’s probable dream XI for today.
Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Karun Nair, Aaron Finch, Mayank Agarwal, David Miller, Yuvraj Singh, Axar Patel, Andrew Tye, Barinder Sran, Mohit Sharma
