DC vs KKR Dream11 Team Selection Captain Pick: Shikhar Dhawan

Although the Delhi Capitals opener scored just six in his last outing against RCB, he would back himself to shine against KKR given his stellar form in IPL 2021. With 265 runs in six games, Dhawan is already the highest run-scorer this season, and the southpaw would be raring to play another impact knock. All these factors make Dhawan an ideal captain of your fantasy team.

DC vs KKR Dream11 Team Selection Vice-Captain Pick: Axar Patel

Axar Patel has been impressive in his couple of outings this season and is a safe option for the vice-captain slot. With the Ahmedabad track favouring the spinners and KKR’s middle-order not doing well, the left-arm spinner will all, but likely bowl an economical spell, and the wickets will be a bonus. Not to forget, the southpaw can contribute with his big-hitting as well.

DC vs KKR Probable Playing XIs

DC Likely Playing XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steve Smith, Rishabh Pant (C/WK), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada and Avesh Khan

KKR Likely Playing XI: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan (C), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Mavi and Prasidh Krishna
