DD vs KKR, IPL 2018: Shreyas Iyer will try to start his IPL captaincy by winning first match against Dinesh Karthik's riders
The 26th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) is going to be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils. This will be the first match of Shreyas Iyer as a skipper of Delhi Daredevils after Gautam Gambhir step down. One hand there is Delhi Daredevils who won only one match and lost all its five other matches in overall 6 matches.
Then, on the other hand, Dinesh Karthik's team is also not doing so good as they also lost their last match against Kings XI Punjab. Now Dinesh Karthik led team will also want to get back their momentum from this match.

Gautam Gambhir's experience while playing as a skipper of KKR didn't go with his new team Delhi Daredevils to get some matches. After losing five matches in the tournament now skipper Gambhir decided to move away from the captaincy position and asked to play for Delhi Daredevils in free of cost now.
Ready for the next challenge!#DilDilli #Dhadkega #DDvKKR pic.twitter.com/tv9xdPJhnZ

Whether the last match played in between Delhi Daredevils and KKR and it went to Kolkata Knight Riders, so now once again Delhi Daredevils has a chance to get back into the game. While talking about the squad powers of both the teams then Kolkata Knight Riders got the best strength in the names of Andre Russell, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa and others, whether Delhi Daredevils team also has a strong line up like Gautam Gambhir, Shreyas Iyer, Glenn Maxwell, Liam Plunkett and others.
