IPL 2026: Unchanged KKR Elect To Bowl First Against DC, Mukesh, Vipraj Included
Unchanged Kolkata Knight Riders: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Capitals (DC), who have brought in pacer Mukesh Kumar and leg-spin bowling all-rounder in match 51 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday.
Friday’s clash is a high-stakes one, considering DC are looking to break a four-match losing streak at home. KKR, meanwhile, are chasing their fourth win on the bounce. With the race to the playoffs tightening, a win for either of the two teams will put them slightly alive in the race to the playoffs.
After winning the toss, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane said his playing eleven is unchanged. “In the last three games, it's important to see the wicket and play accordingly. It's difficult to read the wicket; we have to play good cricket. When we had a break, the mood was great, and the players were doing well,” he said.
