That's the end of coverage of this game. It was lovely to bring you updates of this match. I, Akshay Bhide along with my co-commentator Karthik Raj sign off for now. Do switch tabs for the second game tonight between KXIP and SRH. Bye bye.
Varun C, the Man of the Match: "This is surreal. The last few games I didn't get wickets. I wanted to get one or two today, but thank god I got five. I enjoyed Shreyas Iyer's wicket the most. I was bowling to the shorter boundary so I had to attack the stumps. I want to thank my mother Hema Malini, father Vinoth Chakravarathy and fiancée Neha. And all my physios. Around 2015 when I was not making much money as an architect, I thought I will try something else when I wasn't able to meet my needs."
Varun Chakravarthy is the Man of the Match for his figures of 4-0-20-5.
Eoin Morgan: "We had had a nice couple of days to reflect on things. In such a compact tournament, it can be easy to get caught up. Great of Sunil to come back and play as a proper allrounder. And Nitish Rana and him adding all the runs. The decision to bat Narine there is all the coach. He likes to play his cards. It is all Brendon. Given the nature of the tournament, it is not a tournament where sides get 100 in top 10. You need a longer batting line-up than a strong one. That is why I am batting lower. Varun is such a humble guy. he just goes about his work. Throughout the tournament, he has been our standout performer."
Shreyas Iyer: "Looking at the start, we should have put a lot of pressure on them and gone for wickets. But the way they batted, especially how Sunil Narine went after us. We could have executed the plans better. I think they chose the bowlers to go after really well. They were really good in shot selection. They outplayed us in pretty much every department. Kudos t their approach and mindset. You need an amazing start when chasing 190. Losing two wickets in the Powerplay puts a lot of pressure on the others. We need to play with freedom and not have a survival mindset. Obviously we are disappointed with the loss, but I am glad it is happening at this point of time. There are a lot of learnings from this game."
Let's hear from the skippers.
Earlier in the day, Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl first. They had a decent start with the ball. Gill and Tripathi departed to Nortje inside the powerplay. DK too couldn't get his innings going and was dismissed by Rabada. Enter Narine and the whole complexion of the match changed. He along with Nitish Rana counter attacked and put on 115 for the fourth wicket. Narine was dismissed for 32 ball 64. Rana along with captain Morgan provided the finishing touches and got them to 194 at the end of their innings which was above par at this ground. Rana departed for a brilliant 81 on the penultimate ball of the innings.
With 195 to chase, the Capitals had the worst of the starts as Rahane was dismissed by Cummins on the very first ball of the innings. In-form Dhawan too was cleaned up by Cummins and the Capitals batting line up didn't recover from 2 early blows. Iyer and Pant tried to steady the ship but the required run rate was climbing up. Eventually Pant decided to accelerate and was dismissed by Varun. He was phenomenal with the ball picking up 5 wickets. The Delhi batsmen tried hard but just couldn't counter the threat of Varun. He finished with figures of 5-20 in his four. Cummins too starred with the ball picking 3 wickets. In the end the KKR bowlers proved to be too strong for the DC batting line up.
KKR have beaten DC by 59 runs. What a turnaround this has been after they surrendered against RCB in their last game. They were brilliant with both the bat and ball and there was no get away for DC batsmen. They have 12 points under their belt and have distanced themselves from SRH and KXIP who will be up against each other tonight.
