“It’s been fun. The batting has been really good… going into the tournament with a fifty is great. But more importantly, three wins from three games. The team is thinking about the next game. It’s not Personal stuff, just “How can we win games for the team. We got two points and that’s the most important thing. ” Raghuvansh said at the post-match press conference.

To sum up the match, KKR’s target of 273 runs was too much for DC and they succumbed to the pressure and ended up losing by 106 runs.

The pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Vaibhav Arora took two wickets each to reduce DC to 33/4 in the powerplay.

These early hits undermine DC’s approach to chasing huge totals, with each delivery becoming more challenging.
