IPL 2022 KKR vs DC Highlights: Kuldeep Yadav's four-fer blows away Kolkata Knight Riders; Delhi Capitals win by 44 runs

13 off Axar's over. Both Shreyas and Rana have the ability to clear the ropes with absolute ease and rotate the strike as well. Kolkata desperately need a steady partnership at this stage. These two have to lay the foundation as they have Billings, Cummins and Russell for some fireworks at the death… it's a time-out after nine overs.

KKR 74/2

Up and away! Straight down the ground and it clears the boundary rope. Shreyas uses his feat against Axar to produce a big six over long-on!

KKR 72/2

Dispatched!!! A 91m six into the stands and Rana shows why he's one of the cleanest strikers of the ball. Kolkata will need a few more boundaries from the left-hander. 10 off Kuldeep's over.

KKR 61/2

Former KKR man Kuldeep Yadav is into the attack!

Axar Patel in the attack and Shreyas rolls out a much-needed boundary. He drives it past cover and the outfield is fast enough to beat the long-off fielder. Eight off the over and Kolkata have crossed the 50 mark!

KKR 51-2

Prithvi Shaw's throw doesn't hit the stumps but strikes Shreyas on his knee. The physio is out in the middle. It doesn't look serious. 

Just three from the over and Kolkata have notched up 43 runs. But the asking rate has crept to 12.36.

KKR 43/2

Rahane didn't middle it well and the ball spooned up in the air. Shardul did the work with the bat and he's turned up on the field as well. Onus on skipper Shreyas now. He's been joined by Nitish Rana.

What a grab! Brilliant effort from Shardul, who covers good ground to take Rahane's catch. Khaleel picks up his second wicket.

Another boundary from Shreyas. He creams it through the covers. Kolkata need those when the asking rate is over 11.

KKR 38/1

Rahane joins the fun! Shardul bowled it at his pads and the experienced batter flicked that away for a boundary. A much-needed four!

KKR 33/1

No pressure while facing the first delivery. Shreyas hits Khaleel's delivery through the covers. The KKR skipper has got a big task on his hand. 

Cranked for room and Venkatesh has to depart on 18. He was limping and Venkatesh falls early. Shreyas Iyer is the next man in!

KKR 21/1

Consecutive sixes! Short from Thakur and Venkatesh sends those away over fine-leg. He looks in some discomfort due to his fielding at long-on in first innings.

KKR 15/0

Off the mark finally! Rahane nudges it to the off-side for a quick single. What an eventful first over. There was an outside edge on the third delivery but no one appealed after two reviews on first two balls.

KKR 2/0

What a start this has been! Mustafizur traps Rahane, who again goes for the review. A clear spike when the ball is near the bat. Umpire has to reverse his decision again!

What a delivery! Rahane has been given out caught behind but he reviews it. Replays showed that the ball had kissed the top of his right pad. On-field umpire reverses his decision!

KKR 0/0

Rahane and Venkatesh are making their way into the middle. Expecting a fantastic chase! The asking rate is close to 11 runs an over.

"It's a good total. I love watching him bat from the other end (Warner). He was striking it really well. I think their plan was to bowl the slower ones where there was the longer boundary, and I think our execution was really well - striking the ball along the ground at the long boundary, and taking it on at the other end," says Prithvi Shaw

It started with Prithvi Shaw and David Warner pulverizing the bowlers in the powerplay and ended with Shardul Thakur-Axar Patel show at the death. The opening partnership lay the foundation of a big total. Delhi lost quick wickets in between but Shardul and Axar pressed on the gas pedal and whacked some vital boundaries towards the end. Sunil Narine was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets under his belt.

Kolkata Knight Riders need 216 runs to win

Shardul finishes off in style! Six off the last delivery of the innings and Shardul Thakur has played a blinder. Delhi Capitals finish on 215/5 in 20 overs.

Axar Patel is in the act now! He slams it straight down the ground for a six. Shardul and Axar have rescued things in this over! 23 from the over as Axar gets a boundary on the last delivery.

DC 199/5

Six more! This time through the covers. Not much backlift but Shardul generates enough power to launch that into the stands. Maybe that's why he was sent ahead of Sarfaraz Khan!

DC 189/5

How good did that sound! A big six from Shardul. It's travelled 95m!

DC 182/5

Cummins rolled his fingers on the ball but Axar picked it nicely to find the gap with a controlled pull. Delhi need a few more at this stage.

DC 173/5

An excellent over from Umesh, who gives away just five and gets the prized wicket of Warner. Shardul, not Sarfaraz, has joined Axar in the middle.

DC 167-5
