Expectations will be high from KKR 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 $300,000 contract before a brutal assault in a Christchurch bar left him hospitalised.
Having recovered from jaundice, Gambhir will be eager to start on a winning note under conditions best suited to them.
It would be an important season for the India opener, who went through a rough patch and was discarded for the four-Test Australia series. The left-hander would be keen to be back among runs.
Teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir (captain), Brett Lee, Eoin Morgan, Jacques Kallis, Laxmipathy Balaji, Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Manoj Tiwary, Manvinder Bisla, Rajat Bhatia, Sunil Narine and Yusuf Pathan.
Delhi Daredevils: Mahela Jayawardene (captain), Andre Russell, Ashish Nehra, David Warner, Irfan Pathan, Johan Botha, Manpreet Juneja, Naman Ojha, Shahbaz Nadeem Umesh Yadav and Unmukt Chand.
