Guilty of making too many changes at the top, Kolkata Knight Riders would like to find a winning combination against Rajasthan Royals and snap their five-match losing streak in the IPL on Monday. The form of Venkatesh Iyer, who is experiencing second season blues, has a lot to do with the changes KKR have been forced to make regularly at the top of the order.
Delhi Capitals put in a much-improved performance against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday and this helped the Rishabh Pant-led side register their fourth win of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Kuldeep Yadav returned with four wickets as Delhi Capitals restricted KKR to 146/9 and in the end, Delhi registered a win by four wickets with six balls to spare. In the 14th over of KKR's innings, Pant's agility and reflexes came to the forefront as he took a stunning catch to send KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer back to the pavilion.
Delhi Capitals made rough weather of an easy chase due to a middle-order collapse before recording a comfortable four-wicket victory over a lacklustre Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai on Thursday, keeping their IPL play-off qualification hopes alive. Chasing an easy target of 147, DC were 84 for five and 113 for six at various stages of the innings before Rovman Powell (33 not out ) once again displayed his big-hitting prowess to get DC past the target with an over to spare. The hero of the win was certainly Kuldeep Yadav, with a game-changing 4 for 14 when KKR batted.
Kuldeep Yadav had a great night for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 against his old franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. The Chinaman bowler returned with figures of 3-0-14-4 as DC restricted KKR to just 146/9 in 20 overs. DC chased down the target in 19 overs. Yadav was declared the 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant display. He is currently on 17 wickets and is only second to Yuzvendra Chahal, his long-time spin partner in the Indian cricket team, who is on 18 wickets playing for Rajasthan Royals.
Kolkata Knight Riders have completely lost the plot with as many as 19 players being used in nine games and skipper Shreyas Iyer had no option but to admit that they haven't been able to get their combination right in IPL-15. KKR have used as many as five different opening pairs and the team looked far from settled after its fifth straight defeat -- this time to Delhi Capitals by four wickets with an over to spare. "No real excuses, we have to go back and assess where things are going wrong. A lot of chopping and changing is happening (at the top of the order), it's been difficult to set up the right combination, with all injuries not helping as well," an irritated looking Iyer said after the match here on Thursday.
Kolkata Knight Riders in 2019 and 2020 before he was benched for good in 2021. In the two games he played against KKR this season, Kuldeep has now eight wickets in his bag alone. On Thursday night, he picked up 4/14 to back up his 4/35 in the previous game. As he broke the back of KKR batting for the second time this season, he offered Delhi Capitals an opening to storm back into the competition by restricting KKR to 146/9. His spell set up the game for a nervy Capitals batting lineup to chase down the target with six balls and four wickets to spare.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 41 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is currently eighth in the IPL 2022 with six points from eight games, including three wins and five defeats. KKR will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways, having crashed to a narrow defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last match, losing by eight runs. Meanwhile, Delhi are seventh in the league standings with six points from seven fixtures (three victories and four defeats). One Net Run-Rate separates them. DC also lost their previous game, facing a 15-run defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 34.
Delhi Capitals. The first half of this year's IPL has been chaotic. Late arrivals of foreign players, a Covid-19 outbreak in the camp and controversial behaviour in the team dugout during their last game against Rajasthan Royals have all contributed to a hit-and-miss campaign so far. They are seventh in the table and, on Thursday, are up against an equally inconsistent Kolkata Knight Riders who are languishing at No. 8, having played a game more than them.
