Delhi Capitals crumbled amidst a heady cocktail of pace and spin served by the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Monday. It was thanks to No. 9 Kuldeep Yadav’s 26-ball 35 that the visitors were able to finish on 153 for 9 when the overs ran out. Kuldeep was dropped twice, on 10 and 32, as the Knights let slip several opportunities even as there were a few sparks of brilliance. That he was the top-scorer was a statement in itself.
The bowlers had a field day with Varun Chakravarthy, later substituted out by young Angkrish Raghuvanshi, picked up 3-16 in his four overs. Harshid Rana had two for 28, Vaibhav Arora 2-29 while Sunil Narine came away with one for 24. At the time of going to press, KKR were 96-1 in eight overs. Earlier, going against the current trend, the visitors chose to bat, and it didn’t take long for their troubles to begin.
