IPL 2026: Kolkata Knight Riders' strongest predicted XI against Delhi Capitals
Kolkata Knight Riders will look to extend their winning streak when they take on the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, May 8.
Middle-order: Rinku Singh, Cameron Green, Manish Pandey, Rovman Powell, Anukul Roy
Rinku Singh had a dismal start to the campaign but has bounced back commendably. He has amassed 158 runs in his last three innings and hasn't been dismissed. Cameron Green has shown glimpses of his talent. The Knights would want him to fire on all cylinders, especially with the bat, on a ground which has relatively small boundaries.
Manish Pandey was picked in the playing XI for the first time in IPL 2026 for the last game, but he didn't get to bat. It will be interesting to see what role he is given by the team management. Rovman Powell has made some handy contributions with the bat, but his fielding skills have enthralled the fans so far. He has taken some stunning catches and saved a lot of runs this season. Anukul Roy has shown the knack of picking up wickets, and he can also play crucial innings with the bat, like the one against the Rajasthan Royals.
