RCB vs MI Dream11 Prediction

The Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders side has so far put on some incredible performances in the cash-rich tournament and is placed first on the points table with as many as three wins out of their four matches in the league. They are without Aaron Finch at the moment for his international commitments.

They would be hoping to keep on the winning momentum and maintain the top spot on the table. Incidentally, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant played together for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 before Kolkata Knight Riders acquired Shreyas Iyer for INR 12.25 crores in IPL 2022 auctions.

Delhi Capitals won a game against Mumbai Indians out of nowhere, and since then they have lost both their games in the season against Gujarat and Lucknow.

Though the in-form Australian all-rounder, Mitchell Marsh, is with the DC camp, he is undergoing rehabilitation at the moment and will not be available for selection for the game against Kolkata Knight Riders. David Warner made a negative impact in his first game of the season by scoring so slowly that sucked the momentum of the DC innings.

Rishabh Pant’s T20 game has gone down severely at the IPL level in the last 2 years, and with a weak middle order, it’s time for the captain to bring out his best game to pull DC out of the real mess that they are in at the moment. Pacer Anrich Nortje failed to find his rhythm in the game against LSG but since it’s his first competitive game in so many months, DC would be hoping that it is a one-off thing.
