Pitch Report
Analysis
The Delhi Capitals finally got off the mark in IPL 2024 against the Chennai Super Kings after losing their opening two games of the season. In DC’s first two defeats, their batting was sub-par but against Chennai, Prithvi Shaw’s return gave the side a massive boost and gave the side a perfect start. Whereas in the bowling department, Delhi has some experienced names who have performed well with Khaleel Ahmed continuing his stellar form with the new ball.
Talking about the Kolkata Knight Riders, Shreyas Iyer’s side registered a dominant victory against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru after sneaking a last-ball win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first game. The KKR batting has looked incredible with Shreyas returning to top form and Andre Russell’s continued excellence. Similarly, their bowling has looked great but the form of Varun Chakravarty and Mitchell Starc will be a major cause of concern for the side.
