Last encounter:

Prithvi Shaw's 41-ball 66 and Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 38-ball 88 helped DC to a mammoth 228 for 4 in their allotted 20 overs - the highest score by any opposition team against KKR in any edition of the IPL! Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan and Rahul Tripathi kept KKR in the hunt but were always behind in the chase and ultimately fell 19 runs short.

Last encounter in 2019:

Shubman Gill's 39-ball 65 and Andre Russell's 21-ball 45 helped KKR to 178 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs - on the 12th of April, 2019 at the Eden Gardens. It was expected to be a tough chase but Shikhar Dhawan had other plans. The Indian southpaw hammered an unbeaten 97 off just 63 deliveries to take the Capitals to a comprehensive 7-wicket win with more than an over to spare.

Sunil Narine has been amongst the wickets in the KKR vs DC battle - he has 17 wickets in such encounters. Interestingly, it is Shoaib Akhtar who has the best bowing figures in the rivalry - he returned with 4-11 in 3 overs at the Eden Gardens in the inaugural edition in 2008. Akhtar ran through the Daredevils top-order getting rid of Sehwag, Gambhir, AB and Manoj Tiwary within the powerplay. KKR defended 133 and cleaned up Daredevils for 110.

Prithvi Shaw has had a string of low scores in the latter half of IPL 2020 but has the highest strike rate of 163.94 in KKR-DC clashes.
