Having opted to bowl first, Delhi Capitals will aim to secure two vital points when they take on a faltering Kolkata Knight Riders in their upcoming Indian Premier League clash on Tuesday. With the tournament entering its decisive phase, Delhi will be keen to avoid any further stumbles after enduring two losses in their previous four games, including a disappointing defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday.

At the top of the order, Abhishek Porel has brought a sense of urgency with his aggressive strokeplay. However, veteran Faf du Plessis, who struggled in his comeback match, will need to quickly adapt to the slower conditions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium if he is to make a meaningful contribution.
