Kolkata Knight Riders will look to continue their winning streak against Delhi Capitals on Friday, May 8, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Ajinkya Rahane's team lost five of its first six matches in IPL 2026. However, they have managed to win three games on the bounce and will go into Friday as slight favourites. Especially after Sunrisers Hyderabad's five-match winning streak ended in its last game.
Meanwhile, the Capitals are not in good form and have won two of their last eight matches. Axar Patel and Co. have lost four of the five matches they played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2026.
Here is the strongest predicted XI of Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals:
Top order: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Finn Allen, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wicketkeeper)

Ajinkya Rahane has scored 205 runs in nine innings at an average of 25.63 and strike rate of 131.42. He would like to play the role of anchor while others can bat around him. Finn Allen came back into the team in the last game and scored 29 runs on 13 balls. His battle with Mitchell Starc in the power play will be worth watching. Talking about Angkrish Raghuvanshi, he returned to form in the last game and scored 59 runs in 47 balls. His role at number 3 is important for the Knights.
