The Delhi Capitals (DC) take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 51 of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, May 8. Both sides will desperately seek a win to keep their slim playoff hopes still intact.
DC come into the game on the back of a home defeat at the hands of the Chennai Super Kings. KKR, on the other hand, are one of the in-form teams in the tournament, having won three games on the bounce following a poor start to their campaign.
Both DC and KKR are filled to the brim with star players who are widely regarded as some of the best in T20 cricket. Due to the advent of franchise cricket and the rise of international T20s, these players play the shortest format of the game the most often, which makes them extremely close to attaining a milestone on a personal level.
Here are the important upcoming milestones for players of both teams:
