KKR vs DC: Kolkata Knight Riders solidify 2nd position in IPL 2024 Points Table with victory over Delhi Capitals

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bounced back from a demoralizing defeat to Punjab Kings with a resounding victory over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League 2024. After a disappointing loss in their previous match, KKR showed resilience and determination as they comfortably chased down a target of 154 set by Delhi Capitals.

Opener Philip Salt once again showcased his batting prowess with a blistering fifty-plus knock, setting the tone for Kolkata’s successful chase. Varun Chakravarthy was the star with the ball for KKR, finishing with impressive figures of 3/16 in his four overs.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, struggled to get going with the bat, managing only 153 for nine in their allotted overs. Despite a brief cameo from skipper Rishabh Pant, the Capitals failed to build a substantial total. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav’s unbeaten 35 off 26 balls was the only saving grace for Delhi.
