These two teams have played ten IPL games against each other and
the KKR team has the edge having won five matches while Delhi won four.Brednon Mc millan is still nursing a injury and the KKR released
statement on Tuesday, "Brendon is still at home as he is nursing a slight
hamstring niggle. His reports are expected in the next 48 to 72 hours. There
will be a further update on him once the reports are examined " .Expectations
will be high from the home side as they would aim to become only second team to
win back-to-back titles. Only Chennai Super Kings have won consecutive trophies
(2010 and 2011).
For Delhi, who are yet to win the title, it would
be a season to make amends as they look at life without English swashbuckler
Kevin Pietersen who has been ruled out for the entire tournament due to a knee
injury. Delhi will also miss out on explosive Kiwi batsman Jesse Ryder
who was to begin his USD 300,000 contract before a brutal assault in a
Christchurch bar left him hospitalised.
Set Max TV channel will be live telecasting the matches live in
India and other countries.Youtube will be live streaming the matches live at
its website. Rajasthan Royals were the first champions, in
2008. Deccan Chargers won the title in 2009, when the tournament was played in
South Africa. Chennai Super Kings won back to back titles in 2010 and 2011
while Kolkata Knight Riders scaled the summit last year.
In the sixth season, nine teams will battle it
out in a total of 76 matches, over a period of seven weeks with summit clash
slated for May 26.
