KKR vs DC LIVE score, IPL 2024: Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy put the brakes on DC’s innings, limiting them to 153 for nine at the Eden Gardens on Monday, before sealing a comfortable seven-wicket victory.
During the chase, Phil Salt showcased his explosive batting prowess, plundering 68 runs off just 23 deliveries, while captain Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer guided the team to victory.
Meanwhile, with four wins in their last five outings, the Rishabh Pant-led DC is gradually finding their rhythm, emerging as a formidable contender. Pant himself is showing rapid improvement with each game, and the DC batting lineup, featuring Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel, Shai Hope, Pant, and Stubbs, poses a significant threat to KKR’s bowling attack.
Despite replacing the injured Mitchell Starc with Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera against Punjab Kings, KKR faced disappointment as Chameera struggled on his debut, conceding 16 runs per over and failing to make an impact. Apart from spinner Sunil Narine, who managed figures of 1/24 from his four overs, the rest of the KKR bowlers failed to leave a mark.
