KL Rahul will look to fire against SRH

KL Rahul struggled in the previous game against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 29. He managed to make just seven runs off five balls before he was run out. However, he has been in solid form overall this season.

He is the leading run-scorer for Delhi, with 371 runs from nine innings at an average of 53 and a strike-rate of 146.06. Rahul has also struck three half-centuries.

Having lost their previous match to KKR, it will be important for Delhi to bounce back with a win to stay in the playoff race. DC will want Rahul, among the senior players in the team, to step up and play a match-winning knock in this important fixture tonight.

A win here will take Delhi to 14 points, with three more league-stage games remaining after the clash against SRH.
