The 28th match of IPL 2023 is set to take place in Delhi between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. The match will be held at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday, April 20, as part of the IPL’s first-midweek doubleheader. Delhi Capitals, led by David Warner, are yet to secure their first win of the season, having lost all five of their previous matches. On the other hand, KKR, captained by Nitish Rana, are also experiencing a rough patch, having lost their last two games. KKR holds a 16-14 head-to-head record over DC, but the latter has won the last three encounters.
As the Delhi Capitals take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 28th match of IPL 2023, selecting the right bowlers for your Dream11 fantasy team becomes crucial. Here are the top three bowlers to consider for the DC vs KKR game.
1. Anrich Nortje
Despite his modest numbers in the ongoing IPL 2023, Anrich Nortje has been impressive with his pace and accuracy. The South African pacer has picked up just two wickets in four matches, but he has bowled some excellent yorkers in the death overs. His ability to generate express pace and hit the right length could prove to be a challenge for the Kolkata Knight Riders, who have struggled against quick bowlers in the middle overs. With his potential to pick up crucial wickets and contain the opposition, Nortje could be a wise choice as a captaincy pick for your fantasy team in the DC vs KKR game.

2. Kuldeep Yadav
With four wickets to his name in this season’s IPL, Kuldeep Yadav is likely to be a top pick for the upcoming match. Known for his unique style of left-arm wrist spin, Kuldeep has proven to be a valuable asset to the Indian team and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the past. His best IPL season came in 2018, where he took 17 wickets for KKR. Kuldeep continued to impress with his spin-bowling partnership with Yuzvendra Chahal, famously known as Kul-Cha. He set a record for the fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 ODI wickets in 2020 and also holds the distinction of being the first Indian bowler to claim two hat-tricks in international cricket.
3. Suyash Sharma
Kolkata Knight Riders have always relied on mystery spinners like Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. They hope that the newly picked Suyash Sharma can continue their legacy. Hailing from Delhi, Suyash Sharma is a right-arm leg spinner who began his cricketing career playing club cricket. He quickly rose to the senior level for Delhi and caught the attention of the Kolkata franchise. Despite having no senior-level experience, they picked him for the 2023 Indian T20 League. Suyash Sharma has a deceptive bowling action and plenty of tricks up his sleeve with his leg spin. The Kolkata franchise will be delighted to have him, as leg spinners like Suyash are a luxury for any team. With his potential, he certainly has a bright future ahead of him.
