Highlights of IPL 2024, DC vs. KKR: In match No. 16 of the IPL 2024, power batter Sunil Narine hammered a 21-ball half-century to give Kolkata Knight Riders a commanding lead in Vizag, destroying the elite bowling attack of the Delhi Capitals. Anrich Nortje withdrew Philip Salt before the powerplay ended, while David Warner dismissed Narine in his first over. Narine kept up his attack, taking the DC bowlers to task as the Kolkata batsman achieved his career-high score of 85 off 39 balls.
Power hitters Andre Russell (41), Rinku Singh (26) and youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi (54) exercised their muscles against DC bowlers to help KKR post a massive total, but captain Shreyas Iyer struggled for Kolkata. Kolkata finished with 272-7 in 20 overs, but it took a pinpoint yorker from Ishant Sharma to stop Russellmania from going bonkers in the last over. With the help of Russell and Rinku, KKR amassed the second-highest total in IPL history.
Senior pacer Mitchell Starc ended his streak without a wicket in the IPL 2024 by getting two vital wickets against DC. As DC crumbled for 166 in 17.2 overs, Impact Sub Vaibhav Arora recorded his career-best figures (3 for 27) as Starc removed Mitchell Marsh (0) and David Warner (18). Rishabh Pant (55), playing a captain’s knock for the Delhi Capitals, hammered his first half-century in the IPL against KKR. Despite Pant’s DC losing the match by 106 runs, Tristan Stubbs also played a counterattacking knock (54). KKR has won each of their first three league phase games for the first time in IPL history.
