Kuldeep Yadav once again stood out against his former side as Delhi Capitals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by four wickets in their Indian Premier League match on Thursday.
In his three overs, the spinner claimed four wickets. After allowing Kolkata Knight Riders to bat first, Delhi restricted them to 146/9 in 20 overs because of his clinical effort.
Mustafizur Rahman scalped three wickets in the final over as he got Nitish Rana, who scored the highest 57 for KKR, Rinku Singh and Tim Southee.
In response, the Delhi Capitals got off to a rough start in their pursuit for the runs, losing Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh in the first two overs.
Umesh Yadav dismissed Shaw with a score of 0 and Harshit Rana bowled Marsh on a score of 13. (7).
Warner and Lalit Yadav then put on a 65-run stand until Umesh broke the partnership by striking Warner for 42. The Capitals then went on to lose.
Axar Patel then tried to restore normalcy before he was run-out on 24 (17). The Delhi unit was then led home by Rovman Powell, who finished the match with a maximum.
The tall Windies player finished with an unbeaten score of 33 from 16 balls. Nitish Rana struck 57 off 34 deliveries earlier in the evening to help KKR set a solid total.
In the middle, Shreyas Iyer chipped in with an important 42-off 37 runs. Andre Russell was ejected after a golden duck.
