IPL 2018 Day 21: Live Action: Today’s Prediction, Current Points Table and Schedule for Upcoming Matches of IPL 11

Most of the matches in the IPL 2018 have gone the live wire. The day 21 of the Indian Premier League 11th edition brings us to match number 26 which is between the Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders which will be held at the Ferozshah Kotla Stadium. With Shreyas Iyer as the new captain of Delhi Daredevils, the team is hoping to turn a new leaf in the remaining matches of the IPL 11. The last time the two teams locked horns with each other at the Eden Gardens, KKR registered a stunning victory of 71 runs. DD would surely be eyeing a revenge.

Players like Nitish Rana, skipper Dinesh Karthik, Chris Lynn and Robin Uthappa would want to carry their momentum.

Players like Glen Maxwell Jason Roy need to fire up. Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the previous day game.
