IPL 2022, KKR Predicted XI vs DC: KKR Likely To Retain Winning Combination

Table-toppers Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 19 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday. Pat Cummins scored the joint-fastest half-century in the history of the IPL as KKR outclassed Mumbai Indians in their previous match. Cummins hit 56 off just 15 balls to take KKR comfortably home with four overs to spare. With three wins from four games so far, KKR sit at the top of the IPL points table. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is likely to remain unchanged.

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

Ajinkya Rahane: The veteran batter is likely to get the nod for another match with Aaron Finch still not available for the two-time champions. So far, Rahane has played all four matches, scoring just 72 runs.

Venkatesh Iyer: The all-rounder will be riding high on confidence after a gutsy knock against MI in the previous match. After struggling to get going in the first three matches, Iyer scored an unbeaten 50 in the previous match.

Shreyas Iyer: The KKR skipper has enjoyed a brilliant start to his captaincy career with the franchise. With the team currently sitting at the top of the table, Iyer would like to contribute more with the bat in the games to follow.

Nitish Rana:  Nitish Rana is yet to replicate his form from the previous season. In four games so far, Rana has managed scores of 8, 0, 10, and 21. He, however, is likely to get a longer run in the team.

Sam Billings: The Englishman is likely to get the nod ahead of Sheldon Jackson to keep the wickets. Apart from his silky-smooth glovework, Billings has also played a few important cameos with the bat for the team.

Andre Russell: The big-hitting West Indian has been in fine form for KKR this season. In three games so far, Russell has scored 106
