Sunil Narine was given the responsibility to lead the team in absence of Ajinkya Rahane

In his absence, Sunil Narine has been given the responsibility to lead the team. However, after that, he changed the game completely for the Kolkata Knight Riders. He brought himself into the attack and then it changed the course of the game for Delhi Capitals, who were cruising in the chase.

Sunil Narine picked three wickets in a flash as he removed Axar Patel (43), Tristan Stubbs (1) and Faf du Plessis (65) to put Delhi Capitals under massive pressure. The mystery spinner returned with the figures of 3/29 in the four overs that he bowled to put his team in the dominating position.

He also then made brilliant call of calling Varun Chakravarthy imto the attack in 18th over. The mystery spinner picked two wickets in that over to put more pressure on Delhi Capitals.

Ajinkya Rahane had a decent game against the Delhi Capitals, scores 26 runs off just 14 balls

On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane had a decent game against the Delhi Capitals. Batting at number three, the right-hander played an aggressive brand of cricket as he slammed the ball all over the park and ended up scoring 26 runs off just 14 balls with the help of four boundaries and one six.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44) continued his brilliant form and, along with Rinku Singh (36:), added 61 runs for the fifth wicket. Delhi Capitals made a strong comeback in the end, with Mitchell Starc bowling a brilliant last over. Kolkata Knight Riders ended with a score of 204 for nine.
