In Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) match 47, played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 29, the Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders traded punches. DC chose to bat first after winning the toss. Thanks mostly to the attacking spurts of spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, KKR held DC to a total of 153 for nine. Phil Salt continued to hammer 68 off just 33 balls in the chase. After that, team captain Shreyas Iyer and bowler Venkatesh Iyer guided KKR to a seven-wicket victory.
Allow us to examine the game’s IPL 2024: KKR vs. DC highlights:
1. Vaibhav Arora delivers an unplayable delivery that fixes Shai Hope
While tidying up Shai Hope, Vaibhav Arora added salt to the wounds of the Delhi Capitals. Hope struck Vaibhav for a maximum on the second ball of the fourth over. Vaibhav responded in the manner of a traditional bowler, bowling a brilliant blow. The hitter was left with little option as he pitched a long ball that was angled in the middle and off.

2. Varun Chakravarthy drives the dark horses of Delhi back to the pavilion.
Due to KKR’s extraordinary bowling, DC experienced an early setback when their top order fell apart. Varun Chakravarthy was the most impressive performer. He played a slog sweep and holed out to Shreyas Iyer, tricking Rishabh Pant. Later, he stopped Tristan Stubbs from moving quickly, and the keeper finished the job wearing safe gloves.

Punjab chased 261 in Kolkata few days back and surprisingly Delhi decided to bat 1st today. Wonder why is that? I’m sure they will have their reasons.#KKRvsDC #IPL24
