KKR vs DC Highlights of VIVO IPL 2021: Kolkata Knight Riders Win by 3 Wickets, Keep Playoffs Hopes Alive
Kolkata Knight Riders would be well-aware of the fact that they have few matches in hand and that Delhi Capitals are quite a formidable opponent to take on, at this stage when all teams are trying hard to make it to the playoffs.
28 Sep, 19:02 (IST)
OUT! With six more runs to win, Sunil Narine throws his wicket away. But safe to say he has done his job. Excellent performance by him, his cameo swung the game back in KKR's favour.
28 Sep, 18:56 (IST)
Sunil Narine has brought Kolkata Knight Riders back in the contest with 20 runs off six ball thus far. He smashed Kagiso Rabada for a six and two fours in one over. Just nine needed for KKR to win this contest.
28 Sep, 18:45 (IST)
OUT! Avesh Khan strikes, maybe little late now. Second wicket this for Avesh Khan. Dinesh KarthikĀ gets an inside edge and the ball goes back onto the stumps.
28 Sep, 18:30 (IST)
OUT! Ravi Ashwin has the last laugh against Eoin Morgan. KKR captain edges it to the first slip and Ashwin is all pumped up. Earlier, these two exchanged few words and now Ashwin wins it with the ball.
28 Sep, 18:26 (IST)
OUT! Kagiso Rabada comes into the attack, little late though and he strikes in his first over. After five dot balls, Shubman Gill tried to go for the big shot but falls shortĀ and is caught near the boundary.
28 Sep, 18:23 (IST)
Kolkata Knight Riders are well on course towards yet another victory. KKR now needs 61 more runs to win off 60 balls. Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana are in the middle for Knight Riders.
28 Sep, 18:07 (IST)
OUT! Avesh Khan strikes for Delhi Capitals. Steve Smith takes the catch near mid-off. Timed his jump to perfection and took a good catch. Rahul Tripathi departs early for KKR.
28 Sep, 17:58 (IST)
OUT! Delhi Capitals get the first breakthrough! Venkatesh Iyer chops one back onto the stumps. Lalit Yadav picks the first wicket. Iyer departs for 14 off 15 balls.Ā
28 Sep, 17:25 (IST)
Delhi Capitals finish with a paltry score. Excellent bowling performance this by Kolkata Knight Riders as they need 128 runs to win. Delhi Capitals kept losing wickets towards the end and failed to post a big total on the board. Will be interesting to see how KKR respond with the bat.Ā

OUT! Venkatesh Iyer picks his second wicket. Delhi Capitals batting is collapsing here. Axar Patel departs for a five-ball duck and is caught near deep mid-wicket.
28 Sep, 16:51 (IST)
OUT! Wickets coming thick and fast for Kolkata Knight Riders. Lalit Yadav is the latest to be dismissed. Sunil Narine traps him in front of the wickets. That was plumb the moment it hit the pad.
28 Sep, 16:44 (IST)
OUT! Kolkata Knight Riders chipping away with wickets here. Venkatesh Iyer picks the wicket. Dangerous Shimron Hetmyer is caught at long-off. Delhi Capitals four down now.
28 Sep, 16:37 (IST)
OUT! Lockie Ferguson strikes for Kolkata Knight Riders. Steve Smith chops one back on to the stumps. Knight Riders needed to see the back of Smith and they have managed to.
28 Sep, 16:23 (IST)
Although Varun Chakravarthy bowled the most expensive over of the match so far (12 runs), KKR are well in control of the game and they would be eager to capitalise more on the momentum given by the spinners.Ā Ā
28 Sep, 16:15 (IST)
Rishabh Pant has come out to bat replacing Shreyas Iyer. The two spinners have halted the flow of runs for Delhi and the Knight Riders are right back in the game.Ā
28 Sep, 16:07 (IST)
OUT!Ā Sunil Narine bowls Shreyas Iyer and KKR are right back in the game. The ball turned sharply and sneaked through bat and pad to crash into the stumps.Ā
28 Sep, 15:58 (IST)
OUT!Ā Lockie Ferguson sends back the dangerous-looking Shikhar Dhawan. The left-hander, trying to play a cut shot, hands a straight catch to Venkatesh Iyer at point!Ā
28 Sep, 15:51 (IST)
Shikhar Dhawan is going after the KKR bowlers here. First, he took on Prasidh Krishna and now, debutant Tim Southee. He is making a strong statement after being left out of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. He also survived an lbw chance.Ā
With an eye on the playoffs, Delhi Capitals (DC) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League 2021 (IPL 2021) match 41. Delhi are placed second on the IPL 2021 points table while Kolkata are in the fourth spot. A win in this fixture will help DC seal a playoffs berth. KKR, on the other hand, after their defeat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be looking to bounce back and stay in contention for a spot in the IPL 2021 playoffs.
While DC and CSK look certain of a place in the top four, RCB is the next best-placed team with 12 points. So, that leaves KKR, defending champions Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings in competition for a possible one spot in the IPL 2021 playoffs. The Eoin Morgan-led side will have this on their mind as they face another team in form- DC.
