Skipper Dinesh Karthik will face a big test when a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lock horns with a resurgent Delhi Daredevils (DD), led by double title winning former KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir, in a much-anticipated IPL clash in Kolkata on Monday. But the Gambhir-led side bounced back in style against Mumbai with Jason Roy smashing an unbeaten 91 in his debut match for DD. Shami has turned out in all the three matches for DD and a team official said there's no question of his availability. On the field, it will be Gambhir who will have the upper hand despite DD's poor 8-12 head-to-head record against KKR. Gambhir can heave a sigh of relief after their batting combination clicked following some experimentation in the first two matches.
