Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, DC’s past and present are set to collide against each other in the Indian Premier League 2024 on Monday, 29 April. Set to be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, high-flying DC are expected to give a proper challenge to KKR’s batting might on Monday. The DC team has been rejuvenated by three youngsters in their batting line-up – Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tristan Stubbs and somewhat Abhisek Porel. Apart from the trio, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel have been in tremendous touch as well in the recent games.
KKR on the other hand have questions to answer as the team failed to defend a mammoth total of 261 runs against PBKS, who came into the fixture low in confidence. The Shreyas Iyer side replaced Mitchell Starc with Dushmantha Chameera in the previous match but the Sri Lankan player failed to change the fortunes in the game.

One of the biggest positives for KKR from the last game was Shreyas Iyer’s return to form and the fans will hope that the skipper continues his six-hitting touch against Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.
It will also be an emotional comeback for Kuldeep Yadav to the Eden Gardens. The former KKR man recently accepted that he regretted his time in the franchise as he was headstrong about not doing certain things out of his comfort zone.
