Gautam Gambhir led Delhi Daredevils will play their match at their home ground – Ferozshah Kotla stadium, for the first time in IPL 2018 season. The challenge they face is a daunting prospect. Kings XI Punjab team is running in superb form with its top two – Chris Gayle and KL Rahul batting in a destructive mood. DD has been a poor side this season and will want to establish early home advantage to stay alive in the tournament.

Here are the five things to look out for from this match –

1. KL Rahul on the rampage

The Bangalore boy has taken the IPL this year by storm and has looked in an amazing touch. KL Rahul has batted in his purple form and notched bulk of runs. Due to Rahul’s stunning performance, the pressure has never fallen on the fragile middle order of Punjab and he has also allowed Gayle to relax.

Rahul began in style with the fastest IPL fifty against Delhi Daredevils in the first match which just blew away the Double D’s. He then smacked a quick-fire 47 against RCB, 37 against Chennai Super Kings. Rahul failed only once with his 18 versus SRH.

KL arrived back with a splendid match-winning inning of 60 yesterday which was scored faster than Chris Gayle. He will be the biggest threat for Delhi.
