IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals Predicted XI vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Sarfaraz Khan Faces Heat After Poor Run With The Bat

After a controversial end to their last fixture against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Delhi Capitals (DC) will look to get back to winning ways when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2022at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. This will be the second clash between DC and KKR this season, with DC emerging out victorious in their previous encounter by 44 runs. However, this time around, the situation seems to be a bit different with DC coming off from a fresh loss against in-form Rajasthan Royals in their latest game. All eyes will be on skipper Pant who was fined 100 per cent of his match fees post a controversial no-ball call by the umpires that gave rise to chaotic turn of events.

Here's how DC could line-up against KKR on Thursday:

Prithvi Shaw: The right-hand attacking batter scored a brilliant fifty when DC faced KKR in their only fixture this season. He took on the KKR bowlers and hit seven fours and two sixes.

David Warner: Similar to Shaw, Warner scored a remarkable fifty against KKR earlier in the competition. However, Warner hasn't yet capitalised on good starts and keeps getting out after settling in nicely.

Sarfaraz Khan: He is a batter who has the ability to change the course of a game on his day. However, he hasn't failed to deliver the good despite being shown the trust by Pant to go one-down in the batting order.

Rishabh Pant: Captain Pant would like to put aside the disappointment from the last game and start fresh against KKR. With the bat, he was at his explosive best as he scored 44 runs off 24 balls vs RR.

Lalit Yadav: Lalit failed to read a Sunil Narine delivery in their last meeting and was out for 1. However, he has shown, in patches, that the team can rely on his finishing abilities
