Rahul Tripathi struck a stunning six in the penultimate delivery after opener Venkatesh Iyer’s brilliant half century to help Kolkata Knight Riders beat Delhi Capitals by three wickets in the drama-filled second qualifier and enter the IPL final here on Wednesday.
Two-time champions KKR will face three-time winners Chennai Super Kings in the summit clash in Dubai on Friday. Iyer, 26, was the star of the day as he struck a 41-ball 55, laced with four boundaries and three sixes.
