KKR's playoff hopes hinge on lineup change amid Raghuvanshi's absence

KKR faces a crucial IPL 2026 clash with DC. Analyst Aakash Chopra suggests lineup changes due to player unavailability. Learn about their playoff scenarios and team strategy.

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face a critical lineup decision for their IPL 2026 match against the Delhi Capitals (DC) on May 24. Angkrish Raghuvanshi's absence forces a change, with former Indian player Aakash Chopra suggesting Ramandeep Singh should play over Tejasvi Dahiya due to his greater experience. Ramandeep has scored 82 runs in six innings this season, while Dahiya managed 11 runs as a concussion substitute in KKR's last game.

KKR's playoff aspirations are on the line in this final league game in Kolkata. They require a substantial win and an afternoon victory for the Mumbai Indians over the Rajasthan Royals to advance on net run rate. Chopra also noted that DC has improved recently, highlighting Madhav Tiwari's addition and suggesting the potential inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav if the pitch is slow.
