Commentary
  • Right then, that is all we have from this game. It has been a comfortable victory for Delhi. The action continues as the second game of this Super Sunday between Lucknow and Rajasthan is already underway. So switch tabs and enjoy that game. Cheers! 
  • Kuldeep Yadav is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant figures with the ball of (4-0-35-4). 
  • David Warner is down for a chat. He says that it feels good to get a win and it was a nice wicket. Tells that Prithvi Shaw is an exciting player to watch and he is loving his time in the Delhi camp. Informs that Ponting is a great coach and having him as a coach is like a parent to a kid. Jokes that he doesn't call him dad though.
  • Shreyas Iyer, the skipper of Kolkata, says that Delhi got off to a good start and they were a bit clueless at that time. Mentions that they carried on the momentum and it was tough to stop them. Tells that it was a good batting pitch and they chose to bowl as they won their three games chasing. Informs that they showed intent from the word go but it wasn't a good start for them.
  • Time for some interviews!
  • Kolkata came into this game with a lot of confidence but they were put under pressure right from the start in this game as Umesh Yadav failed to get an early breakthrough in this game. They were always behind the 8-ball after that and ended up making it too tough for their batters with 216 to chase. Shreyas did played a good knock today but they needed couple of more guys to contribute and that didn’t happen for Kolkata and in the end they have fallen short of the target by a pretty big margin.
  • Delhi had an another good start with the bat courtesy of their dynamic opening pair of Shaw and Warner. However, the good thing was that Delhi did not let the momentum slip away today and Delhi posted a big score on the board. Khaleel Ahmed then took two early wickets with the ball and put the pressure on Kolkata early in the chase. Kuldeep Yadav then showed his class yet again with crafty spin to take four wickets and broke the backbone of Kolkata batting lineup. However, it was Lalit Yadav who broke a dangerous looking partnership between Rana and Shreyas and in the end it has been a clinical performance by Delhi in this crucial game for them.
  • Delhi needed a strong performance to beat this Kolkata side and they have produced it in this game. Right from the way they started with the bat in the Powerplay, they displayed great intent and have found themselves on the right side of the result in the end. Kolkata, on the other hand, had an off day as they were outplayed in all the departments and would be looking to come out with better plans and execution in the next game.
