KKR IPL 2020 playoff chances
With the playoffs race intensified, KKR cannot afford another defeat as that would mean slipping to the bottom position in IPL 2020 Points Table.
Delhi Capitals has been one of the most consistent side in IPL 2020 but it lost in its previous outing against KXIP, despite Shikhar Dhawan slamming a century. It would look to bounce back and exert a psychological pressure on KKR as the two sides meet on Saturday.
KKR could also make some changes in its playing 11, consider how the side collapsed against RCB. DC might try Harshal or Mohit in place of Damiel Sams or Tushar Deshpande.
