Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Delhi Capitals in match 41 of the IPL 2021 in Sharjah on Tuesday, September 28. In their last game, KKR lost a last-ball thriller against the CSK by two wickets while DC continued their winning streak, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 33 runs.

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Eoin Morgan has been fined ₹24 lakh while rest of the squad were fined either lesser than ₹6 lakh or 25 percent of their match fees. The team has been booked for the minimum over rate offences the second time in the season owing to the slow over rate against Mumbai.

Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who two days ago was named in India’s limited-overs squad to Sri Lanka, has asserted with confidence that he will clear all fitness tests and retain his place in the squad. Three months ago, Varun was ousted from the squad after failing to clear fitness tests.

After being snubbed for the Sri Lanka tour, Dinesh Karthik has admitted that his ambitions are to be part of the Indian team for the 2021 World T20 and the 2023 ODI World Cup. Karthik also stated that there is a realistic chance of him getting into the team, in the middle order, at Nos 5, 6 or 7.
