IPL 5: KKR to Face Delhi Daredevils on April 5

Eden Gardens in Kolkata will buzz with spectators cheering aloud for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as the team will take on Delhi Daredevils (DD) in the second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Season-5 on Thursday, April 5, 2012.

Spectators can expect to see some electrifying moments as both sides will be expecting to put up a good performance and ensure a strong start to the campaign.

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's KKR will expect their key players like Yusuf Pathan, Brendon McCullum, Eoin Morgan, Jacques Kallis, Shakib A Hassan to perform well.

The performance of the team will also depend a lot on skipper Gautam Gambhir who dragged the side to the play-offs stage of the tournament last year.

The bowling department of KKR will depend a lot on Australian fast bowler Brett Lee. Even local lads like Manoj Tiwary and L Shukla are expected to add some crucial runs for the home side.

Delhi Daredevils on the other hand will be led by flamboyant Indian opener Virender Sehwag.

The Delhi side have some string names in their line up that include Andre Russell, Roelf van der Merwe, M Morkel, Irfan Pathan and U Yadav.

However, the side will be missing the service of crucial players like David Warner and Kevin Pietersen as they are busy playing for their national sides.
