Delhi Capitals will face Kolkata Knight Riders in match number 70 of the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League at the iconic Eden Gardens on May 24. With the league stage coming to an end, Delhi Capitals will aim to finish strongly and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. DC is currently eighth in the points table with six wins from 13 matches. Their campaign has been full of inconsistency, as they have struggled to maintain momentum despite performing brilliantly throughout the tournament.
Delhi will need a big win against KKR and will also have to depend on other match results to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs. Even though the chances remain tough, the Capitals will go into the game with an aggressive mindset and give a complete performance in this important encounter.
Here is the strongest predicted DC XI for Match 70 vs KKR:
Top order: KL Rahul (wk), Abhishek Porel, Sahil Parakh
At the top of the order, KL Rahul is expected to lead the batting unit once again. Rahul has performed brilliantly for DC this season, scoring 533 runs in 13 matches. His consistency and ability to handle the innings has been important for the team. Along with him, Abhishek Porel and Sahil Parakh are likely to open or provide support at the top of the order. Porel has scored 86 runs in three matches, while Parakh has been able to score only 22 runs in three matches.
