POTM Varun Chakravarthy said:
āIt was holding a bit, as the game progressed in the 2nd innings, it was turning as well. Nothing like that, when the catch was dropped, I felt that was a better ball, and the one I got him, on other grounds, it would have gone for a six. Cricket has become a game of little margins. I liked Tristan Stubbs' wicket. I planned to bowl the legspinner to him and it worked out. Silence. When something doesn't work for me, he is always there. In the last game after conceding so many runs, it was a tough pill to take but the whole team motivated us. Abhishek Nayar and even Shahrukh Khan came and spoke to me, definitely motivated us. [on the cheerleaders dancing] They should start dancing only for the sixers and not for the fours,ā Varun said.
Winning skipper Shreyas Iyer said:
āNot at all. Considering the last few matches, 200 was a par score. After the powerplay the pitch started helping the spinners, was tacky. We got a fair idea as to how it played and to tackle the tackiness. Narine still does not attend those meetings but Salt is always there, gives us his inputs and it's pure bliss to see him coming up and doing all this. He doesn't. I would not recommend him to come either. [on Chakaravarthy] He has been assessing the wicket and has been giving us inputs. The way he performed today was brilliant. We have always been looking at it, even from the first game. The mindset is to qualify as early as possible. Just work on our work ethic and processes, don't want to look at the points table,ā Iyer said.
Losing skipper Rishabh Pant said:
āIt was a good option to bat first. 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. The way we were going as a team was nice (winning 4 out of their last 5 games), but these games come along in T20s. I think anything around 180-210 would have been a good score, we didn't give our bowlers enough runs to defend,ā Pant said.

In what will be a continuation of the reverse fixture, the shining knights aka Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will square off with power-hitting package Delhi Capitals (DC) in game 47 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday, April 29.
Now speaking of the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders, the spirited gladiators have played five games in their backyard, out of which they have won five games and twice they have ended up on the losing side. Fascinatingly enough, shedding light on the losses they have incurred, on both occasions, KKR failed to defend the target against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). As life gets tougher for the bowlers in recent batting mayhem, the hosts of the upcoming fixture were on the receiving end.
After having posted a monumental 261 runs on board, Knight Riders failed to defend it as their bowlers were taken to the cleaners. Barring Sunil Narine who tried to hold the run carnage from one end to some extent, it was a day to forget for the Eden homers. Hence the iconic venue surely indicates that if the batters bide their time in the middle for a while, Eden Gardens has proved to be a batter's paradise.
Meanwhile, speaking of Delhi Capitals, the side is currently languishing among the bottom-placed teams in the IPL points table. After putting Mumbai Indians (MI) through their batting wrath, the side will be surely riding high on their confidence and will be taking inspiration to keep up their mojo heading into the mighty Eden Gardens clash. However, they will be wary of the fact that KKR have had put 250-plus scores twice so far and their wounds are still fresh from the earlier reverse fixture against Kolkata. Notably, DC were mauled by Knights as they ended up posting a gigantic 276 on the board.
On the tactical acumen front, home captain Shreyas Iyer has failed to utilize his bowlers efficiently. Moreover, after recent drubbing, keeping the spirits of his bowling unit will pose a bigger challenge when they step into Eden Gardens on Monday. While Delhi Capitals are already inflicted with some injury challenges with key players like David Warner and Ishant Sharma missing the IPL 2024 games. Besides, it will be interesting to see whether ace wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav makes a comeback and plays a massive role in containing the run carnage. Furthermore, will Jake Fraser-McGurk be successfully stopped from toying with Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers will keep the cricket aficionados intrigued in the upcoming IPL 2024 clash.
