Having registered three wins and four losses in their first seven matches, Delhi Capitals will look to start their second half of the IPL 2022 campaign on a solid note as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium. Reflecting on the campaign so far, Delhi Capitals' assistant coach Shane Watson said, "For me, the most important thing is, us getting closer and closer and playing the perfect game of T20 cricket and just doing that over and over again.

We also had some other performances where we got really close to that, and that's all we can do."

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) haven't been at their best in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, and are currently ninth in the IPL 2022 Points Table with four points from eight games (two wins and six defeats).

Against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 33, the wicketkeeper-batter smacked an unbeaten 28 off 13 balls as CSK chased down a target of 156 runs. Fans were left in a state of delirium as Dhoni slammed the match-winning boundary off the last ball of the match to lead CSK to victory. Speaking in a YouTube video, former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star Brad Hogg hailed Dhoni's ability to finish a match and said that "no target is too big" for him.
