Then, Iyer was caught brilliantly by Rishabh Pant, as he pouched a low catch to his right of an under edge from Iyer, sending him back for a well-made 42 in 37 balls with 4 fours. Baba Indrajith Andre Russell was stumped by Pant, off Kuldeep as he tried to hoick him out of Wankhede, while Sunil Narine was out LBW, despite taking a DRS review.

Kuldeep Yadav not finishing his quota will be one of the biggest mysteries this season. Four wickets in three overs. #<!---->I<!---->P<!---->L<!---->2<!---->0<!---->2<!---->2

Just saw Kuldeep hasn't bowled his fourth over. When Kolkata failed, Delhi had to avoid his fifer. ? #<!---->I<!---->P<!---->L

#<!---->D<!---->C have had a very good first half. I am so enjoying watching Kuldeep bowl. Surely he had to bowl a 4th over. They should get these 2 points
