"Surprised To See...": Yuvraj Singh Befuddled As Kolkata Knight Riders Leaves This Star Out Vs Delhi Capitals

Kolkata Knight Riders lost their sixth game in nine outings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as they went down to Delhi Capitals on Thursday. The loss left the Shreyas Iyer-led side at the eighth spot in the 10-team table ahead of only Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.
