Fans on Twitter reacted after Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Capitals to win their sixth game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. They won the game by seven wickets at the Eden Garden in Kolkata on Monday.
Delhi Capitals had a terrible outing with the bat as none of the batsmen managed to score much. Prithvi Shaw (13) and Jake Fraser-McGurk (12) batted with an aggressive mindset but could not set the stage on fire at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
However, after Delhi Capitals kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were under pressure. Captain Rishabh Pant (27) tried to settle in but could not continue the output he got when he passed away to Varun Chakravarthy, who claimed three wickets.
With the team slipping to 101/7, Kuldeep Yadav (35) played a vital hand and propelled Delhi Capitals to a total of 153 for seven. For Kolkata Knight Riders, Varun Chakravarthy was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of 3/16. Apart from him, Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana picked two wickets, while Mitchell Starc and Sunil Narine also claimed one wicket each with the ball.
Phil Salt (68) led Kolkata Knight Riders to a brutal start with the bat in the chase. He almost sealed the game for his team with his offensive mentality. Even though the team lost three quick wickets, Kolkata Knight Riders were well into the game and had an advantage.
Captain Shreyas Iyer (33*) and Venkatesh Iyer (26*) in the end added 57 runs and led their team to a comfortable victory. They won their sixth game of the tournament and had 21 balls left.

We won 4 of 6 games at Eden this season.
That’s not bad, considering the fact that we lost the draw in those 5 matches.
