We started off really slowly and lost a couple of early wickets. It was holding up a bit (the wicket), but we didn't get a good score on the board. No real excuses, we have to go back and assess where things are going wrong. A lot of chopping and changing is happening (at the top of the order), it's been difficult to set-up the right combination, with all injuries not helping as well. We need to stick together, play some fearless cricket, not be conservative with the bat. Five more matches remaining, we need to play well, show belief and give something back to the team and the management, forget about the past, start fresh and back your instinct (on what KKR needs to do now). You need to sit back and think where it's going wrong, can't be overconfident, give your best, if we still lose, then it's fine. Umesh started with a wicket, but gave away 11 runs in the over, that's where I thought the momentum turned. But he has given us a lot of good moments this season and has been very very impressive as well.

Penultimate over of the innings and Shreyas has brought himself on to bowl this one. 2 dots to start. Delhi just need 4 runs. Another 2 dots to follow. Finally a single by Shardul and Powell is brought on strike. And a six and it's all over. DC win by 4 wickets.
Southee in to bowl te 18th and powell has hit him for a 6!!! He is taking Delhi home. Very few runs left now. 12 from this over. Delhi Capitals are 143/6 after 18 overs.
Venkatesh Iyer in to bowl the 17th and Powell hits him straight down the ground for a six!!! Another swing but finds a fielder. That's a lucky one as Powell pulls one, gets the edge and runs off to the boundary. DC 131/6 after 17 overs
Southee in to bowl the over after time out. Just 2 off the first 3 balls. A pull shot by Axar and that falls short of the fielder near the boundary. Now Russell to bowl the next over. He is hit for two back to back boundaries by Axar Patel. Is that a run out now???? Umpire referral. Yeah. He is gone. DC 113/6 after 15 overs
Amidst the understandable buzz over the pace sensation Umran Malik, Umesh Yadav showed he is still fast, in form, very fit, and taking important wickets. Remarkably, despite playing for more than a decade now, Umesh hasn’t lost much pace at all, and continues to swing the ball. He took out David Warner, Rishabh Pant, and Prithvi Shaw with contrasting deliveries to send another reminder about his hot form in this IPL. Shaw was shaping to flick a delivery that seemed to tail down outside leg but found it just about curving in enough to take the leading edge. He might have got away had it was another pacer but the athletic Umesh flung himself to his left to pouch it with both hands. Later, he returned in the middle overs, to bounce out Warner on a slow pitch. With the angle cramping him, Warner almost shut his eyes and went for a swivel pull, only to top edge it to fine-leg fielder. Soon, Rishabh Pant, who must be careful about his fading form, poked at a length delivery from around the stumps and straightening outside off stump and got a nick. -- Sriram Veera
Gone!!!! Umesh strikes again!!! Pant swings at it. Gets the outside edge and goes!!! That's wicket number 3 in a space of a few deliveries. Kolkata can smell victory. DC 84/5 after 11.1 overs.
Sunil Narine in to bowl his 3rd over. Just 1 run from the first four balls. Delhi batters are finding it pretty difficult to squeeze runs from the wily spinner. Big appeal and that's given!!!! Will Delhi review? No they don't. Lalit Yadav goes back. DC 84/4 after 11 overs
Now that's gone!!! great bouncer by Umesh Yadav and Warner tries to pull that. A well-set David Warner departs. BIG BIG wicket for the Knights. DC 82/3 after 9.3 overs.
A four to restart proceedings after timeout as Yadav gets hold of a Nitish Rana delivery and dispatches it over the ropes.50-run partnership comes up Another one is hit straight down the ground for a four by Warner. The next ball is also dispatched for a four!!!! Delhi on the charge. KKR are leaking runs. DC 80/2 after 9 overs
Harshit Rana to bowl the 8th. Just 3 off the first 3 balls and all of them have been good length deliveries. Next ball is too high and that's gone for a six. Plus a no ball. KKR have to deal with a free hit now. Swing and a miss on the free hit. Good ball. 11 off this over. DC 66/2 after 8 overs.
A four to start the 7th over after Warner plays an exquisite sweep. He is just playing with the field now. Another nifty over by Sunil Narine. DC 55/2 after 7 overs
Final over of the powerplay. Southee to bowl this one. Ohhh!!! Just short again. So near yet so far for KKR. Could have been a catch out. Just short. Great over. Just 5 off it. DC 47/2 after 6 overs.
Penultimate over of the powerplay and Narine will bowl this one. 2 dots to start as Lalit stuggles to get anything off it. Takes a single to give the strike back to Warner. Lovely bowling by Narine and oh!!! The KKR fielder almost gets a catch in the deep. Results in a four. DC 42/2 after 5 overs.
Welcome back Tim Southee, says Warner as he lofts his first ball for a four. Another four as this one is picked off on the legside. DC 36/2 after 4 overs
Umesh Yadav to bowl the 3rd over. 1 run off the first 3 balls. That's a flick to the legside for a four by Warner. Nothing much wrong with the ball. Warner is just too good. DC 26/2 after 3 overs.
Harshit Rana in to bowl the second and Mitchell Marsh has hit this one high. Does not get a boundary but a rather aggressive start by the Aussie. Goes and and this time it's hit off the middle of the bat for a four!!! Goes again and that's gone!!! Marsh is dismissed now!!! Caught by Venkatesh Iyer. DC 17/2 after 1.3 overs.
Oh!!! that could have been two down for Delhi!! Mitchell Marsh gets an edge and that's just gone behind for a four. That's a great fielding by the KKR fielder to prevent a boundary. Warner hits a four off the last ball. DC 11/1 after 1 over
Prithvi Shaw and Warner are at the crease. Prithvi Shaw is on strike. Umesh Yadav will open the attack. And that's gone!!!!! Shaw is out caught and bowled. What a start by Umesh Yadav and Kolkata. DC 0/1 after 0.1 over.

Two dismissals, the best and the not-so-best of Rishab Pant the wicketkeeper, but he came out with a smile on both occasions. He first did a split almost to take an outstanding catch and then he fumbled a regulation take, with the batsman way out of the crease, but luck was with him as the ball popped on to the stumps. When Shreyas Iyer chased a wide googly from Kuldeep Yadav but was surprised by how low it kept and only could edge his attempted cut, he still might have thought he was in the clear. After all, it was pretty wide. But Pant had shuffled across, his right leg touching the end of the popping crease line, and somehow stayed low and kept going down with his right glove to pouch the ball inches off the ground and near the wide line. Two balls later, Andre Russell was left stranded by another googly and this time Pant grabbed at the ball and it popped out of his hands but luckily fell on the stumps.
It was the second double strike for Kuldeep in the game, having already removed Baba Indrajith, caught at long-on, and trapped Sunil Narine lbw, first ball with a skidder. He must feel that he has done enough to book a spot in the Indian squad for the T20 world cup in Australia on bigger grounds that should suit him.

Rinku Singh goes back to the pavilion, and Mustafizur gets his wicket. Good catch by Powell!! Mustafizur with a breakthrough again as he picks the wicket of Nitish Rana. He is on a hat-trick now as Southee also departs. Good last over!! KKR 146/9 after 20 overs.
Nitish Rana gets to his fifty in style. He hits Thakur for a huge six. What a player he is!! Classy innings by him! Rinku Singh is playing a supporting hand here as he slaps and gets a four. KKR 144/6 after 19 overs.
Nitish Rana hits it towards the cover and gets a four against Mustafizur. Good batting!! Rinku Singh also gets a boundary. Both the batters are contributing well. KKR 128/6 after 18 overs.
17th over now and Lalit Yadav in to bowl this one. That's a gift to Rana. It's a full toss and is duly punished for a 6 by the left-hander. Plus it's a no ball. So a free hit. Just 1 from the free hit. And another six!!!! Rinku has taken charge now. KKR 118/6 after 17 overs.
Chetan Sakariya gets hit for two fours by Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh. These boundaries will give some semblance of a fightback to KKR. KKR 101/6 after 16 overs.
Kuldeep Yadav gets the big fish! Shreyas Iyer departs as he gets caught by Pant. It's a huge wicket, KKR are under pressure as Kuldeep Yadav picks the wicket of Russell also. KKR are 83/6 after 13.4 overs. Kuldeep Yadav has picked up his fourth wicket and Andre Russell goes for a duck.Live - https://t.co/jZMJFLuj4h #DCvKKR #TATAIPL pic.twitter.com/Gu3aAvyJvI— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 28, 2022
Nitish Rana tonks the ball this time and gets a six against Lalit Yadav. He times it to perfection and gets the result. KKR are 83/4 after 13 overs.
Two boundaries in an over for the skipper Shreyas Iyer. He hits two boundaries against Axar Patel. That's good batting. KKR are 72/4 after 12 overs.
That's a clever shot by Nitish Rana. He scoops it against Kuldeep and fetches a boundary. Nitish Rana uses his experience and is making some crucial runs for the team. KKR are 56/4 after 10 overs.

When Chetan Sakariya took out Aaron Finch, bowled attempting a slog, he crossed his arms on his body. It’s his ode to his favourite character Black Panther, from the Avengers. “I like superhero movies a lot. I am a huge fan of Avengers, especially Black Panther,” he had once said of King T'Challa. Finch made it rather easy for him. He was just dropped, but went for the slog next ball, and completely missed the ball. Last year, when he was with Rajasthan Royals, he had the initials of his brother Rahul Kanjibhai (RK) on his jersey, (the brother had committed suicide) with a text that ran ‘ I miss you bro”.

Kuldeep Yadav takes the wicket of Indrajith, an easy catch by Powell does the rest. Kuldeep is on fire as he picks another wicket, and Sunil Narine departs. KKR are 35/4 after 7.2 overs.
Mustafizur bowls the last over of the powerplay. He is keeping it tight this time. Delhi are in full control right now. KKR are 29/2 after 6 overs.
Venkatesh Iyer looks to sweep the ball and ends up getting caught by Chetan Sakariya. Axar Patel picks his wicket. KKR are under pressure! KKR are 24/2 after 5 overs.
It's a full-length delivery by Thakur and Shreyas Iyer hits it with ease and gets a boundary. What a shot from the skipper. KKR are 17/1 after 3 overs.
Chetan Sakariya to bowl the second over. He gets the wicket of Finch. That's great bowling from Sakariya. Shreyas Iyer at the crease now. KKR are 6/1 after 2 overs.
Mustafizur to bowl the first over for Delhi Capitals. Finch and Venkatesh Iyer start the proceedings for KKR. Just 2 runs off the first over. KKR are 2/0 after 1 over.
Chetan Sakariya gets his maiden Delhi cap. KKR's Baba Indrajith and Harshit Rana get their maiden IPL caps.
Shreyas Iyer: I would have looked to bowl as well because of the chasing history. But the dew has gone out completely and it is very humid as well. I feel the players have to stand up for themselves and take responsibility to finish games off themselves. We have three changes: Finch, Himanshu Rana, Indrajith come in. The combinations haven't worked for us in the last few games, and we are trying to find a settled combination. We have to win six in six now to qualify, so one game at a time.
Rishabh Pant: We're going to bowl first. The wicket looks on the drier side and dew might come in the latter half. Our strength has been backing each other. We have had hard times, but we stick together and moving forward together. Two changes: Khaleel and Sarfaraz are out, Marsh and Sakariya are in. Khaleel pulled his hamstring in the last game and Mitchell is coming out of Covid.
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Rovman Powell, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Aaron Finch, Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer(c), Nitish Rana, Venkatesh Iyer, Baba Indrajith(w), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Harshit Rana.
Delhi Capitals win the toss, opt to field.
Kevin Pietersen: We're back on the same pitch that produced an absolute humdinger last night. The surface is good, absolutely spectacular. The bowlers need to produce this evening, because the batsmen would be licking their lips.
David Warner has been in blisterin form since joining the Delhi Capitals after being unceremoniously let go by Sunrisers Hyderabad before the IPL Mega auction. KKR will look to stop him if they are to have any chance in this match.
All eyes will be on Kuldeep Yadav who, the last time these two sides met, broke Kolkata middle order's back. Can the chinaman come good again tonight?
Being an evening game, dew will play a big factor for the teams. The Pitch at the venue has shown that even a target of 200 plus is not safe.
Pant will need to take greater responsibility along with the likes of all-rounders Lalit Yadav, Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel. Pant can single-handedly turn any game, but he hasn’t played to his potential and come Thursday at the Wankhede, where the tracks have helped batters, the skipper would look to come good.
Delhi Capitals are currently seventh on the points table with three wins in seven outings. KKR are placed eighth having lost their last four games. With the Delhi batting line-up comprising David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant and Powell, KKR’s varied attack has to be on guard to stop the rampage.
Delhi Capitals will look to put the ‘no-ball’ controversy behind and gain much needed momentum against another side seeking course correction, the Kolkata Knight Riders, in the Indian Premier League on Thursday.
For today’s match between Delhi and Kolkata, humidity levels are expected to remain between 49-57 per cent, while the temperatures will hover around the mid 30’s.
A small two-room quarters within the premises of an LPG distribution company’s storage compound near Aligarh stadium has become the talk of the town. It’s the house of Rinku Singh, an all-rounder from Uttar Pradesh who has been picked by Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL auction. (READ MORE)
