IPL 2020 will see the second match with Delhi Capitals taking on the Kings XI Punjab at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and both teams have had a healthy rivalry in the history of the tournament.
Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab have had a healthy rivalry in the history of the Indian Premier League. The northern derby clash, often touted as the ‘Yamuna Derby’ will feature two young captains who will be wanting to take over the mantle of the Indian cricket team in the future. KL Rahul is like MS Dhoni in the current Kings XI Punjab. He is opening the batting, keeping wickets and also captaining the side. Shreyas Iyer, on the other hand, has proven himself to be a good leader in tough situations.
Both Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals have never won the IPL trophy. Both have reached the knock-out stages only once in the last seven years of the tournament, with Kings XI Punjab losing in the 2014 IPL final while Delhi Capitals reached the second qualifier in IPL 2019.
