Mumbai, April 27: Delhi Daredevils (DD) will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 26th match of the much revered Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018. Come Friday, it will be an exciting contest to view for the fans, given the chain of events that have taken place in the previous week.

Gautam Gambhir returned to DD’s fold at this year IPL Auction and it was a moment of rejoice for the fans in Delhi and the team management. The hopes of laying their hands on the IPL Trophy had increased. However, all of it came crashing down on April 25, when Gambhir stepped down from the role of captaincy, owing to team’s poor performance in the first 6 games.

Delhi Daredevils have won only a single match in the total of 6 matches they have played in the season. On Friday, DD would be playing for much more than just securing a win. Something to win back the confidence and support of the fans in Delhi and at large.

As for Kolkata Knight Riders, they have blown hot-and-cold in the tournament so far. With 3 wins and 3 losses in the first 6 games they have played; KKR would be looking ahead to gain some much-needed consistency.

At the moment, DD is languishing at the bottom of the IPL Points Table; whereas KKR is in the 4th spot currently. Which team has the last laugh on the match-day will be an interesting watch. Also, it would also be Gautam Gambhir vs KKR (his previous franchise) at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground, later tonight!
