DC vs KKR, IPL 2019 Match 10 Key Players: Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant to Nitish Rana, These Cricketers Are to Watch Out for at Feroz Shah Kotla
The Kolkata Knight Riders will be confident of another win, and it will be the imperative of the home team to destruct their rhythm and make a real contest of the game.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have been the one of the in-form team of the VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 so far winning both their games. They move out of their home base of Kolkata for the first time this season and travel to Delhi to take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) (earlier known as Delhi Daredevils) in Match 10 of IPL 2019. The way the Capitals lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their last match would have brought back painful memories of the past seasons for the Delhi fans. They want to see their team do well and back to back losses will really test their patience. The pitch at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi was slow and damp where scoring runs was a tough ask. It will be interesting to see how the pitch behaves this time around as KKR have some quality slow bowlers. A look at the top 5 players to watch out for in DC vs KKR game.

Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)
The most valuable player of the league so far who has contributed magnificently with both bat and bowl. He has hammered blowers coming lower down the order raining sixes in the process. With the bowl in his hand, his variations have helped him pick wickets. The go-to guy for Dinesh Karthik in the team, he is his team’s biggest star.

Nitish Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Two fifties in two innings mean Nitish Rana is full of confidence going into the game against Delhi Capitals. He came in at a tricky situation against Kings 11 Punjab but accelerated well in the middle overs helping the home side post a score of over 200. If he continues to perform at the same level and Indian call up is not far for the youngster.
Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders)
A world-class performance is not far away from Sunil Narine who has looked good in patches with both bat and bowl. He will like the pitch in Delhi where his mystery spinners are bound to trouble the opposition batsman. His transformation as an opener makes him a complete package in t20 cricket.
Shikhar Dhawan (Delhi Capitals)
Shikhar Dhawan struggled against the CSK bowlers who did not let him break free from the shackles. But the opener showed patience and got a few runs under challenging circumstances. Delhi Capitals depend a lot on Dhawan to provide a platform for the lower order batsman to build their innings.
Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals)
His trademark pick up shorts rarely work on slow pitches, but if Delhi’s wicketkeeper-batsman applies himself in, he can once again be as destructive as the first game. He has an x-factor about him with shorts not defined in the cricketing manuals that leave the bowlers perplexed.
The Kolkata Knight Riders will be confident of another win, and it will be the imperative of the home team to destruct their rhythm and make a real contest of the game.
