Shreyas Iyer vs Rishabh Pant: The talented captains face off in Match 19 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. In total, Shreyas has led in 45 IPL matches and returned with a win on 26 occasions. He led the Delhi Capitals (DC) from 2018 to 2020, before being appointed as the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022. Wicketkeeper-batter Pant has 11 wins in 19 league matches and has been a leader of DC since 2021.

The Knight Riders have emerged as the table-toppers with three wins in four league matches. In their last fixture against Mumbai Indians (MI), the team chased down a total of 162 in 16 overs, with Pat Cummins wreaking havoc with his innings of 56* off 15 balls and also picking up two wickets.

On the other hand, the Capitals have lost two matches on the trot and are positioned seventh on the table with one win in three appearances. In their last outing, they could only post a total of 149 runs and then failed to defend the score as well. Opener Prithvi Shaw was the top scorer for the team with a contribution of 61 runs.

Pitch and conditions

The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium has been a batting beauty and has provided assistance to the batters through the whole course of 40 overs. Out of four matches played so far at this venue, three have been won by the team chasing down the score. The average first innings score in these four matches is 189, which clearly depicts the domination by batters.

Playing combinations for KKR vs DC

Kolkata Knight Riders

Knight Riders have been impressive with wins in the last two league matches, and have gained momentum. In the last fixture, they welcomed Australian Test captain Pat Cummins into the side, and he had an immediate impact with contributions in both departments. The form of Ajinkya Rahane and Nitish Rana is certainly a worrying factor for the team but the duo is expected to get trusted by captain Shreyas Iyer.

Opener Venkatesh Iyer was terrific with his composure to score 50* off 41 balls in the last match against MI. In the bowling unit, Umesh Yadav has been consistent with his wicket-taking abilities. Spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy is doing well to contain the opposition in the middle overs. Hence, no change is expected in the XI of the KKR side.

Probable XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Sam Billings (wk), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, Rasikh Salam, Varun Chakaravarthy

Delhi Capitals

The Capitals will be hoping to get back to winning ways after two straight losses in the tournament. In their last league match against LSG, they brought David Warner, Anrich Nortje, and Sarfaraz Khan into the Playing XI. Both overseas players were disappointing with their performances. On the other hand, Sarfaraz was impressive with an unbeaten knock of 36 off 28 balls to steer the team to a respectable total on the board.

Opener Prithvi Shaw came back to his natural self and proved to be the best batter of the team, while captain Pant struggled to get going and provided contributions at slightly better than a run-a-ball. In the bowling unit, Mustafizur Rahman and Kuldeep Yadav have been impressive to put brakes on the opposition batters and take wickets. In this league match, the team can opt to include Mitchell Marsh, if he is fit, in place of Rovman Powell.

Probable XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh/Rovman Powell, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Sarfaraz Khan, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje
