DC and KKR squared off in the second Qualifier of the 2021 IPL at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. At the toss, KKR skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss against his counterpart Rishabh Pant and elected to bowl first. Riding on Shikhar Dhawan’s 36 off 39 and Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 30 off 27, Delhi scored 135 in 20 overs.
Chasing the target, Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer gave a solid start to the Knight Riders, racking up 96 runs for the first wicket in just 12.2 overs. Venkatesh went back to the pavilion after scoring 55 off 41. Gill, along with Rana, took Kolkata close to the target but in the 16th over of the innings, the latter batter got dismissed on 13.
After Rana’s wicket, Kolkata lost Gill and four other batters. Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Shakib Al Hasan, and Sunil Narine returned to the pavilion on a duck. However, Rahul Tripathi held his nerves and took the team home in the last over of the game, with his unbeaten 12-run innings off 11 balls.
