IPL 2026: Kolkata Knight Riders' strongest predicted XI against Delhi Capitals

Middle-order: Cameron Green, Rovman Powell, Rinku Singh, Tejasvi Dahiya (WK), Sunil Narine, Anukul Roy

Cameron Green was dismissed cheaply with the bat but had a good outing with the ball, picking up the wickets of Ryan Rickelton and Naman Dhir in the same over. KKR would want him to fire with the bat as well on Sunday. Rovman Powell used his experience and mixed caution with aggression in the last game, scoring an important 40 runs off 30 balls. He has been in good form so far. Rinku Singh wasn't in great nick at the start of the season, but as the league progressed, he got better and now, he is back at his best. The southpaw is averaging 73.75 and has a strike rate of 149.75.

Tejasvi Dahiya had to come in abruptly in the last game as a concussion substitute for Angkrish Raghuvanshi. He couldn't make much of an impact, but it wasn't easy for him to come out on such short notice on a tricky surface and bat at his best. He was dismissed for 11 off 12 balls. Sunil Narine hasn't been needed much with the bat, but with the ball, he has been the epitome of consistency. In 12 matches, he has picked up 14 wickets at an economy rate of 6.40. Anukul Roy has been a utility cricketer for KKR this season. He has taken crucial wickets and also chipped in with handy runs down the order.
