IPL 2023: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are not having the greatest of times in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. After winning the two games have lost two back-to-back games and are reeling 7th at the points table with two wins and three losses to their name.
IPL 2023: Two Changes Kolkata Knight Riders should do for their Game against Delhi Capitals
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are now slated to take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in their next game on Thursday (20th April). After suffering two back-to-back losses they would be eager to stage a comeback and win the game. Let’s take a look at the Two Changes Kolkata Knight Riders should do for their game against Delhi Capitals.
1. Jason Roy in place of Rahmanullah Gurbaz
One change that might be on the cards for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is Jason Roy might make his debut for the team. The English opener is likely to replace Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the place. The Afghan opener has struggled to get going in the league. He smashed a half-century against Royal Challengers Bangalore but since then he has been getting out on low scores. On the other hand, Jason Roy has been in red-hot form of late. He looked in staggering touch in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL) and could be the X factor for KKR.

2. David Wiese in place of Lockie Ferguson
It’s fair to say that ever since returning from the injury Lockie Ferguson hasn’t been at his best and has been leaking runs at a fair amount. Also, he has been failing to put pressure on the opposition, which has been the main reason behind KKR struggling with their bowling. They can look to give the opportunity to David Wiese in their game against Delhi Capitals. The all-rounder is yet to make his debut in the league and could be handy for the side considering his ability to ball hard lengths and contribute with the bat.
