Delhi Daredevils will have to play out of their skins to try and stop the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) juggernaut when the two sides lock horns in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game here at the Eden Gardens today.


KKR have been in sublime form, winning two back-to-back games in convincing fashion. While the twice IPL champions skittled Royal Challengers Bangalore for the tournament’s lowest score of 49 to win and then massacred Rising Pune Supergiant on Wednesday. Gambhir has been in terrific form, scoring 305 runs in eight matches so far with an average of 50.83.


Nathan Coulter-Nile is expected to be drafted back in the side against Delhi on a track which helps fast bowlers.

Coming to the visitors, the Zaheer Khan-led Delhi side have won just twice in their six matches. In the last meeting of the two sides, KKR scripted a four-wicket win at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi. Delhi will have to improve their batting if they are to harbour any chances of making it to the playoffs. In the head-to-head count, Delhi have lost 11 and won eight of the 19 meetings so far against KKR.
