KKR vs DC, IPL 2026: Post match show

Lungi Ngidi to Varun Chakaravarthy, out Caught by Axar Patel!! Varun Chakaravarthy is the last man out, Delhi Capitals win by 40 runs. A slower delivery by Lungi Ngidi outside off, it's an off-cutter and Varun Chakaravarthy gets completely deceived by it. Swings hard, but miscues it towards cover. Axar Patel completes the formalities and a disappointing batting performance by the Knight Riders comes to an end. A clinical performance by DC bowlers as they look a happy unit. Varun Chakaravarthy c Axar Patel b Lungi Ngidi 5(5) [4s-1]

Lungi Ngidi to Varun Chakaravarthy, FOUR, a full toss on leg and Varun Chakaravarthy has whipped it through backward square leg for a boundary

Mitchell Starc to Saurabh Dubey, FOUR, edged away to the boundary! This was pitched up by the bowler outside off, almost a yorker length ball from round the wicket, Saurabh Dubey plays with an open bat face and the outside edge beats the keeper and races away to the fence

Mitchell Starc to Kartik Tyagi, out Caught by Axar Patel!! Starc with his second wicket. This was pitched up by the bowler and Kartik Tyagi chips it straight into the safe mitts of Axar Patel at mid-off. Just a wicket more for DC to wrap things up. Kartik Tyagi c Axar Patel b Mitchell Starc 0(1)

Mitchell Starc to Anukul Roy, out Caught&Bowled!! Another one bites the dust. On a length around middle and leg, Anukul Roy swings hard and miscues it right up in the air. Starc circles under the skier and takes a safe catch. KKR are eight down, an emphatic win loading for Delhi Capitals. Anukul Roy c and b Mitchell Starc 9(8) [4s-1]

Mitchell Starc to Anukul Roy, out Rovman Powell Run Out!! 1 run completed. KKR's last hope is gone. Anukul Roy had lofted it over the bowler's head and the call was two rightaway. Sameer Rizvi with a direct-hit at the bowler's end, and Powell is comfortably out of his crease. That was a fantastic throw by Rizvi. Rovman Powell run out (Sameer Rizvi) 29(21) [4s-3 6s-1]

Lungi Ngidi to Rovman Powell, FOUR, some luck for Rovman Powell. 150 up for KKR. This was a yorker length delivery at the stumps, Rovman Powell swings across the line and the inside edge races past the leg-stump

Lungi Ngidi to Anukul Roy, FOUR, just clears the infield. On a length around off, Anukul Roy lofts it over the infield at covers and gets a much needed boundary

Kuldeep Yadav to Rovman Powell, FOUR, short delivery and put away from Powell. He had all the time to put it away wherever he wanted. Rocks on the back foot and pulls it to deep square leg. End of a good spell from Kuldeep Yadav

Axar Patel to Tejasvi Dahiya, out Bowled!! He played a rusty knock in the previous match against Mumbai Indians. And departs without contributing much today. This was flatter through the air around off, Tejasvi Dahiya is early to play his pull. Gets a thick inside edge and the stumps have been shattered. KKR playing the way they did in the first half of the season. Looks like they are going to end the season, the way they started it. Tejasvi Dahiya b Axar Patel 1(3)

Kuldeep Yadav to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Tristan Stubbs!! Two in two for Kuldeep. He's on a hat-trick. Rinku Singh lofts this towards wide long-off and Stubbs in the deep takes a fine running catch to his right. Puts in a dive and completes the catch. Rinku Singh is gone for a golden duck. The match is slowly slipping away from KKR's grasps. They have lost half their side and the required run rate is close to the 12-run mark. Rinku Singh c Tristan Stubbs b Kuldeep Yadav 0(1)

Kuldeep Yadav to Ajinkya Rahane, out Caught by David Miller!! Miller with another catch. Kuldeep with another wicket. Was a tossed up delivery around off and Ajinkya Rahane went for the lofted shot. The bat turns in his hands, inducing a miscued shot. A safe reverse cup catch taken by Miller and with that a vital knock comes to an end. Looked like a tired shot by Ajinkya Rahane. Ajinkya Rahane c David Miller b Kuldeep Yadav 63(39) [4s-4 6s-4]

Madhav Tiwari to Rovman Powell, SIX, on the shorter side around middle and leg, Rovman Powell pulls this towards deep backward square leg for a flat 61m maximum

Kuldeep Yadav to Cameron Green, out Caught by David Miller!! Kuldeep Yadav strikes in his first over. A nicely tossed up delivery around off, and Cameron Green looks to take him on. Goes for the aerial route, but doesn't time it well enough. Miscues it towards long-off where Miller takes a well-judged catch. Conceded 21 runs in 2 overs, and hardly any contribution with the bat. Not a great outing for the lanky all-rounder in his last match of the season. Cameron Green c David Miller b Kuldeep Yadav 2(3)

Lungi Ngidi to Manish Pandey, out Caught by Mitchell Starc!! A fantastic catch by Starc. Manish Pandey was down the wicket to loft this towards wide long-on. Starc quickly moves to his right and takes a good low catch by diving in front of him. That looks like a clean catch and the third umpire confirms the same. KKR have lost two wickets, and it's Ngidi who has taken both of them. Manish Pandey walks back after playing a handy cameo. Played with a positive mindset, unfortunately a stellar effort from Starc results in his downfall. Manish Pandey c Mitchell Starc b Lungi Ngidi 25(16) [4s-2 6s-2]
