Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals highlights: DC return to winning ways by out-batting KKR as Kuldeep exacts sweet revenge
Prithvi Shaw and David Warner's fearless batting laid the foundation as Delhi Capitals out-batted Kolkata Knight Riders by 44 runs to notch up their second win in the IPL here on Sunday. On a batting belter, KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer's decision to put Delhi Capitals in backfired as they piled up 215 for five riding on half-centuries from Shaw (51 off 29 balls) and Warner (61 off 45 balls). In reply, KKR were all-out for 171 in 19.4 overs and it was left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav's evening at the Brabourne Stadium as he exacted sweet revenge against a franchise that didn't treat him too well during his stint as his career came to a halt. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableThe scoreboard pressure was always telling and Kuldeep's (4/35 in 4 overs), who is proving to be an asset for Capitals, decisively swung the match in the Rishabh Pant-led side's favour, getting opposition skipper Shreyas Iyer (54 off 33 balls) stumped with a left-arm wrist spinner's googly. Iyer had no clue as he came down the track and the ball turned away after pitching. Pat Cummins didn't play any manic knock as a Kuldeep leg-break ended his stay and then he took a magnificent skier off his own bowling to cap off a superb evening under lights.

IPL 2022: It's just a matter of getting first win and finding spark, says Zaheer Khan
IPL's most successful franchise Mumbai Indians are struggling this season with four losses on the trot but their Director of Cricket Zaheer Khan feels it's just a matter finding that "one win" and missing "spark" to get their campaign back on track. Khan, however, is aware that a string of defeats may lead to self-doubt among the players. "There are still 11 league matches to go. We've got to get on a roll. You've seen in this tournament teams get on a losing roll or winning momentum. It's just a matter of (getting the) first win," Zaheer, a former India lead pacer, said. "At times you get tight as well, you start doubting yourselves in situations where the pressure is highest. So that is something we have to be aware of and look for that spark in the group," he said at the post-match conference after MI's seven-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore here on Saturday.
