KKR & DC involved in an excellent game of cricket
Delhi Capitals struggled on the Sharjah pitch and managed to post a score of 135-5 on the board. KKR bowlers were yet again on target as they restricted the strong batting order of Delhi.
In the chase, KKR was off to a flier and had a 96-run opening partnership. However, everything went downhill from there.

For a team that was down and out after the first phase, it has been a dramatic turnaround to make it to the finals of IPL 2021.
