Live Ball by ball updatesMatch Preview:
The 26th match of the Indian Premier League 2018 will see Shreyas Iyer taking over the mantle of leadership of Delhi Daredevils from Gautam Gambhir, with the latter having given up captainship. Iyer has a massive task on hand. Although Gambhir resigned voluntarily, the pressure on him was immense. Delhi have five losses in six matches. They will be facing a fresh Kolkata Knight Riders, who are returning from a five-day break.
Gambhir may have quit captaincy, and apparently, he won’t even take any salary. Still, it would be interesting to see if he now finds a place in the starting eleven. Gambhir just has a half-century to his name in the opening game. Glenn Maxwell has been massive disappointment, leaving Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer with too much to do.
Match Stats
Gautam Gambhir has a strike rate of 70 against pace bowlers this season and it shoots up to 153.5 against spinners. He has also been dismissed on four occasions by the pacers this season

Delhi Daredevils Squad – Jason Roy, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer (c), Glenn Maxwell, Rishabh Pant (wk), Liam Plunkett, Rahul Tewatia, Harshal Patel, Trent Boult, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan
