Kolkata Knight Riders bested Delhi Capitals by 106 runs

In a breathtaking clash at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Kolkata Knight Riders showcased their dominance by defending the second-highest total in IPL history, defeating Delhi Capitals by a staggering 106 runs. While Delhi's Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs put up valiant efforts with fifties, it was Varun Chakravarthy and Vaibhav Arora's stellar bowling performances, each claiming three wickets, that sealed the victory for the two-time champions.

Kolkata Knight Riders amassed a colossal total of 272/7, narrowly missing Sunrisers Hyderabad's record score of 277 set just a week prior. Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi set the stage on fire with half-centuries, laying the foundation for Andre Russell's explosive cameo towards the end. Despite a commendable collective effort from Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, and Pant with the bat, Delhi Capitals fell short in the face of Kolkata's formidable challenge.
