KXIP will look forward to winning the upcoming game against DC and earn two more vital points. Last match, their star batsman Chris Gayle crossed the figure of 300 sixes in IPL. Gayle along with opener KL Rahul will again need to provide a good start if KXIP wants to emerge victorious tonight. Apart from they Mayank Agarwal will also be required to explode with a quick inning, like the one he played in the last match against Mumbai, where he scored 43 off 21 balls.
