DC have been inconsistent yet still shown flashes of brilliance this season, showing patches of brilliance here and there but struggling with frontline bowlers as well as no reliable finishing weapon to leave an impactful impression on opponents has raised doubts as to their playoff hopes.
Meanwhile KKR are on the verge and must pull together soon in order to have any chance at making late runs at making the top four; Sunil Narine and Andre Russell provide them with opening partnerships they’ve struggled to form effectively enough.
Last time out, KKR were defeated by Delhi by just six runs despite posting a competitive total of 204 for 9. Sunil Narine was the star performer, contributing with both bat and ball to help push DC towards victory with three wickets taken and adding crucial momentum with an outstanding run-out and catch.
DC got off to an encouraging start during their chase thanks to Faf du Plessis and Axar Patel providing stability early in over 14, but were quickly set back as Narine took both Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs within one over 14.
DC lost two more wickets after that over as their momentum suddenly collapsed and they needed 46 off 18 balls.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh then combined for an impressive 61-run partnership that helped KKR rebuild their innings, only for them to be eventually dismissed by Dushmantha Chameera and Vipraj Nigam.
At first it appeared like they’d explode in the final overs, but Vipraj was caught at short third man by Rahul and ended the innings on an underwhelming note.
Ajinkya Rahane’s side will look to maintain their good form and keep alive any slim playoff hopes when they face off with Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on March 11.

Delhi Capitals have struggled in the opening phase of this year’s Indian Premier League and their playoff hopes have taken a hit following two consecutive losses. Ajinkya Rahane’s side currently stand sixth on the table and must win three out of their remaining four matches to secure top four finish.
However, they will look to build upon their impressive home form and continue playing fearless cricket in front of an enthusiastic Eden Gardens crowd.
Their early stretch includes both an away match against Mumbai Indians as well as three matches at Eden Gardens that could set their momentum heading into later rounds of competition.
Sunil Narine of Kolkata Knight Riders was the star performer on home soil, excelling both with bat and ball. He secured three wickets while scoring 27 runs to lead his side to a comfortable win against Delhi Capitals and remain competitive for playoff berth. As such, they reached 12 points on the table.
The visitors got off to an inauspicious start with the bat and struggled in the powerplay, before Narine turned the tide in the 14th over by dismissing Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs before dismissing Faf du Plessis shortly thereafter, prompting an incredible middle-order collapse from DC.
DC’s innings slipped rapidly from 116/3 to 146/6 within six overs, leaving them vulnerable against Chameera’s dismissals of both Raghuvanshi and Iyer to leave DC struggling at 190/9.
But young Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh put together an important 61-run partnership which kept DC within striking distance of an defendable total before Chameera struck with her devastating 18th over blow. Both players were dismissed, leaving DC still struggling at 190/9.
Vipraj Nigam attempted to mount a comeback for Delhi Capitals with an outstanding 38-ball effort in the final over, but it ultimately wasn’t enough for DC who finished on 195/8 and fell short by 14 runs.
Rahane noted his satisfaction with how his side battled back from conceding too many runs early and admits their calculation while chasing wasn’t perfect; further adding that his hand injury isn’t as severe as expected and should be fine for their next match.
