KKR’s chase was powered by a blazing fifty from opener Phil Salt who smashed 68 off 33, an innings that featured seven fours and five sixes. Sunil Narine (15) and the Rinku Singh, promoted to no.3, fell cheaply but skipper Shreyas Iyer (33*) and Venkatesh (26*) stitched an unbeaten 57-run stand for the fourth wicket as KKR overhauled the target in 16.3 overs.

DC captain Rishabh Pant said they didn’t put enough runs on the board for their bowlers to defend.

“As a batting unit we didn’t bat well, 150 was below par with how things were going. But we learn from our mistakes, every day is not your day. I think anything around 180-210 would have been a good score, we didn’t give our bowlers enough runs to defend,” Pant said after the match.
