KKR rode on Varun Chakravarthy’s brilliant three-wicket haul to restrict DC to an 153 before overhauling the modest target to post its sixth win.

IPL 2024 Points table: Kolkata Knight Riders went up to 12 points but remains behind table topper Rajasthan Royals which has 16 points. Delhi Capitals squandered a chance to rise in the standings.

Dropped again, a tougher one though for Williams this time. Venkatesh looked to sweep and got a top-edge that went to deep square. Batters get a single. Venkatesh survives a run-out chance at the striker’s end, looked for a single after getting an outside edge, just managed to get back. Six!! A reverse sweep from Shreyas brings up the fifty parnership and takes KKR within touching distance.
