In a pretty one-sided encounter at Eden Gardens, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) emerged victorious against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 47th match of the IPL 2024 season, played on April 29, 2024.

Batting first, the Delhi Capitals got off to a shaky start, losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite brief contributions from Prithvi Shaw (13) and Rishabh Pant (27), they struggled to build partnerships. Kuldeep Yadav’s resilient knock of 35 runs from 26 balls towards the end provided some stability to the innings. However, they finished at 153/9 in their allotted 20 overs, with Varun Chakravarthy being the pick of the bowlers for KKR, claiming three crucial wickets.

In response, KKR chased down the target comfortably with 21 balls to spare, thanks to a blistering innings from opener Phil Salt, who smashed 68 runs off just 33 deliveries, including seven boundaries and five sixes. Despite losing a couple of wickets in the middle overs, Shreyas Iyer (33 not out) and Venkatesh Iyer (26 not out) steered KKR home with composed batting performances. Axar Patel was the most successful bowler for DC, picking up two wickets, but it wasn’t enough to stop KKR’s formidable batting lineup.
