KKR vs DC: Kolkata Knight Riders registered a comfortable victory over Delhi Capitals in match 47th of the IPL 2024. KKR, with its victory, stayed at number two in the points table, while Delhi Capitals slipped to sixth position. Shreyas Iyer and Co. bounced back from a heartbreaking defeat against Punjab Kings and registered a victory against DC by seven wickets.
Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bat first, but their opener, Jake Fraser McGurk, this time, failed to give the start his team needed at a batting-friendly venue. He got our score of 12, and then the debacle of DC’s batting lineup started with skipper Rishabh Pant scoring just 27 runs and other batters failing to do anything significant. Kuldeep Yadav, who is a bowler, is the highest scorer from DC’s side. The spinner scored 35 runs for his team to take the team to a total of 153 runs at the end of 20 overs.
KKR was looking for a comfortable win as they had to chase just 154 runs in 20 overs, and its openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine gave the usual start to the team and started dealing in boundaries and sixes. They were in a hurry to finish the match. Phil Salt scored another fifty for his team, making the way to win easier. Though KKR sent Rinku Singh up in the order, the batter failed to capitalize on the opportunity and got out after scoring just 11 runs. Later, skipper Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer finished the task for the team as KKR reached the target of 154 runs in 16.3 overs.

IPL 2024 47th Match KKR vs DC: Captains’ Corner
“Not at all. Considering the last few matches, 200 was a par score. After the powerplay the pitch started helping the spinners, was tacky. We got a fair idea as to how it played and to tackle the tackiness. Narine still does not attend those meetings but Salt is always there, gives us his inputs and it’s pure bliss to see him coming up and doing all this. “He doesn’t. I would not recommend him to come either. [on Chakaravarthy] He has been assessing the wicket and has been giving us inputs. The way he performed today was brilliant. We have always been looking at it, even from the first game. The mindset is to qualify as early as possible. Just work on our work ethic and processes, don’t want to look at the points table.”
Shreyas Iyer said post-match
“It was a good option to bat first. As a batting unit we didn’t bat well, 150 was below par with how things were going. But we learn from our mistakes, every day is not your day. The way we were going as a team was nice (winning 4 out of their last 5 games), but these games come along in T20s. I think anything around 180-210 would have been a good score, we didn’t give our bowlers enough runs to defend.”
