On the other hand, Kolkata, with just three wins, will aim for a major turnaround.
Ahead of the match, Karun Nair is expected to make valuable contributions in the middle-order. DC`s dugout will heavily rely on in-form KL Rahul.From KKR`s perspective, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh`s performance will be under scrutiny.
