00:00Tata's capital has been buzzing with Tata IPL action with Aaron Jetley Stadium hosting its second game in three days.
00:19It was ICB that were here just a couple of days ago that grabbed the points over the home side, Delhi Capitals.
00:27Marshall Boggley was out there with the two captains and it's the home side that won the task and said they are happy to have a field first.
00:34Alongside we've got Nick Knight and Ian Bishop. Ian Bishop you're going to take us through the KKR team first.
00:40Right, slip in place.
00:51Full straight away and drives it magnificently straight. Timing's good.
00:57This time around he does get it through. It's full and wide and that means there will be a boundary to end the over as well and take that loss.
01:09Gets the opportunity to go straight nice and early on from the Rhine. The length he may have been looking for.
01:19Gets it over the top. Just gets it over the top. It's just a moment where it looked like he paused and thought oh I might be in trouble here.
01:31Gets it over the top.
01:32One-handed by Cernal the Rhine and even that's enough to clear the boundary.
01:38Gets it over.
01:40Gets it over.
01:43A little bit of luck for Gurbaz. Inside edge will get him full. It may be encouraging for Chimera. 53 without loss.
01:56Top edge. Well, the edge has been rather fruitful for Gurbaz recently.
02:06It's beautifully guided away. Gurbaz is a player who loves to go over the top through the offside,
02:11but this is also just showing his skill in his hands.
02:17He's continuing to attack the shorter ball. You can understand why they don't want to get it full to him,
02:22because he's so good on the drive, but it's working at the moment for Gurbaz.
02:31Well, there's a huge appeal from Delhi Capitals. The umpire is not 100% sure on the carrier, I think.
02:38And he's going to have a chat with a square-leg umpire about this, as to what has happened here,
02:45and what he saw from the square-leg.
02:50Huge celebrations from Delhi Capitals. They're 100% sure.
02:55Ball pitched before the bat, definitely. Next rim, next rim. Go next rim.
02:59Yes, okay. And keep it going, please. I can see a clear deviation of the bat as well.
03:03Thank you. I'm ready with my decision for the big screen.
03:05He was looking good in that over, Ramanula Gurbaz. He looked under control.
03:0926 from 12, the strike rate of over 200. 48 for one on the previous occasion.
03:18He's always going to keep going after it, isn't he? Sit on the right.
03:21Right-hander goes back over.
03:22That'll travel the distance for six.
03:27It's a shot that Ajinkaran has started playing very well over the last two or three seasons.
03:32Willing to play that sort of part sweep, part pickup shot.
03:38As he put that in the gap, he has. Is there enough on it?
03:41There is to go to the boundary for four.
03:43So he's hit a back of a length ball.
03:47Then he's ready for the fuller ball. He's found a different part of the ground.
03:53Which is where the ball travels now. Well wide of him.
03:56This is a proper shot.
03:57Oh, look at the timing on that.
04:04KP, I know you're in the other camp, but purely as a batter, you must enjoy that.
04:12There's a fielder there.
04:14He's going to watch because that is the strength of Ajinkaran, his timing.
04:19Strike rate from 178 to 117.
04:21I don't think that was an appeal, but it doesn't matter.
04:26He just turned and whirled and screamed at the umpire.
04:30And Sunil Narayan's on his way.
04:33So this is definitely where they generally slow down.
04:36They lose wickets as well.
04:38So already, a bit of success in this phase after the power play for Delhi Capitals.
04:44Narayan makes 27 tonight at 85 for two.
04:47Get it to loop.
04:48Oh, nicely balled. Nicely balled.
04:52The slip was there, but wasn't when it was needed.
04:56It might just still have been a little too fine.
04:59But there is grip and turn.
05:00Good over, even though 12 went off it.
05:0391 for two.
05:08Now, how close?
05:09This time the finger goes up.
05:11I think the batter might have helped the umpire's decision because he was off straight away.
05:15No turn on that.
05:17A classic Akshar Patel dismissal with the ball going on with the arm.
05:22You can see no air given.
05:24And you can see that.
05:26Not really short delivery.
05:28That would have clobbered into the leg stump.
05:31He's gone for 26 out of 91 for three.
05:40Nice.
05:41That is what you want from the batter.
05:43Waited for the ball to come.
05:47Found space.
05:47Placed it beautifully.
05:52He's a wonderful touch player, Ragovanchi.
05:55It brings up the 100 in a very stylish manner for Kolkata Knight Riders.
06:02And he's one of those group of middle orders that actually play the spin relatively well.
06:12Perhaps even better.
06:15This is some young player.
06:16We keep saying that since he made his IPL debut.
06:19Oh, no.
06:25Oh, no, Venkatesha here.
06:27Oh, how disappointing.
06:30But good.
06:30Good for Akshar Patel.
06:32Left-hander against the left army.
06:34Fancy swatting it away leg side.
06:38Just couldn't quite get the connection.
06:39Look at the body weight going back.
06:41Not driving through the ball.
06:43Simple enough catch.
06:45Four down now.
06:48Seven off five.
06:49113 for four.
06:54In the gap.
06:56First boundary for Wrinkle Singh.
07:06Should have been stopped.
07:08Should have been stopped.
07:10And it's cost them.
07:10It's cost them three runs.
07:12It was going to be one.
07:13And it turns out to be a four to finish the over.
07:15A good one.
07:16Ten from it.
07:1712 gone.
07:17136 for four.
07:23That's wonderful.
07:25That is wonderful hitting.
07:27And straight up after that little break.
07:29And down the track, advanced.
07:36It was quite wide away from him.
07:39But he still manages to get a really good connection.
07:43Good enough for an Angel 1 Super 6.
07:49This is wonderful hitting from Wrinkle Singh.
07:51He's definitely found another gear.
07:5317 from that over.
07:55159 for four.
07:59And that's why I was wondering whether he'd go full and wide.
08:04But that's unfortunate.
08:09There's a fielder there.
08:11It'll only go as far as him.
08:12And I think it was the cumulative effect of the previous over and this one that's caused Raghu Wanchi to surge for 200 and play that shot.
08:22The earlier deliveries are all around the 140 kilometers from.
08:25And so both that slower delivery outside the orb stamp.
08:32And slow leg cut up.
08:34And Karuna is not going to make a mistake.
08:36So Chameera obviously very delighted.
08:39Wrinkle one.
08:39Wanchi after a very good knockoff 44.
08:41Gone.
08:41And it's 174 for five.
08:47Right fielder there.
08:48Good catch.
08:50Very good catch.
08:52It helps to be tall but it helps to be a good fielder too with good hands.
08:55Vipraj has been better today from a wicket-taking point of view.
09:03Oh, that's a good catch.
09:04It's not a comfortable height really.
09:06High and to his left.
09:08Vipraj.
09:09In the wickets again.
09:11Not pleased.
09:12Wrinkle 177 for six.
09:14Boundary to end the over.
09:22And how big a boundary is that?
09:24Because it takes the run rate above 10 once again.
09:2718 gone.
09:28181 for six.
09:29Two to play.
09:34This is excellent bowling to his field.
09:36Oh, no.
09:37No.
09:39Karuna Nair.
09:41In the news for brilliant fielding.
09:44Well, that's one other place.
09:51Not sure he intended it to go there.
09:54But he'll take it.
09:59Got hold of it remarkably.
10:02He has, he missed his length by a little bit.
10:05And that has come right down below us.
10:09And sometimes the cameraman has to be the fielder.
10:14Gets the length spot on.
10:17Gets the verdict from the umpire too.
10:21Russell started to walk off and said, let me just review it.
10:24And so, the third umpire has kept busy.
10:29Pitching outside of impact in line.
10:32Wicket setting.
10:33I'll go back to Mohit on field.
10:34Mohit, you can stay with your decision.
10:36You're on screen now.
10:37It's not always that the batter is within a yard of walking off the field for an LBW.
10:41So, Rahman Powell is gone.
10:43Three balls left.
10:44It's 2-0-3 for seven.
10:45Oh, he's taken it.
10:55Absolutely brilliant.
10:56That'll go down as one of the catches.
11:00Dushman Tachamira.
11:01And now, have a look at this.
11:05This is gone at speed.
11:08Look at that dive.
11:11Magnificent.
11:12Absolutely terrific.
11:17Best dot ball in the game.
11:19A wicked dot ball.
11:20What a catch.
11:21Mendez the other day.
11:23Jameera today.
11:26And look at Stark's reaction.
11:28That's when he thought the ball was going for a six.
11:30He gets the wickets.
11:30203 for eight.
11:31Anupul Roy.
11:33The fielder.
11:33He came as a batter.
11:35He did contribute.
11:39They'll go for the run.
11:40It hits the stumps.
11:41And I think there might be another wicket here.
11:42But it's a run out.
11:46Stark has also said there might be a cut behind here.
11:51If it is a cut behind.
11:56Then it is Rana who will be out.
11:59And it will be a hat trick for Stark.
12:02It looks like there is a gap.
12:04Just want to confirm with Albright.
12:06Let's keep it going.
12:07Still gap between bat and ball.
12:09Okay.
12:10Yeah, still gap between bat and ball.
12:12It's no bat in ball.
12:14I'll go back to Mohit on field.
12:16Mohit, you can stay with your decision of not out.
12:20You're on screen now.
12:21You can signal not out.
12:29Right, so for formality, you just need to check the run out.
12:32He's way out.
12:33What that means is in searching for the strike, Russell has now kept Rana off strike.
12:39This is so much happening here.
12:40Russell gone for 17, 203 for nine.
12:42They'll get the single puff.
12:49Won't bother saving it.
12:51And that is how it will end.
12:54204 for nine.
12:54Gentlemen, quick word.
12:56What do you think of that score?
12:57204 for nine.
12:58Then lots of contributions.
13:00But each of those at a good rate.
13:03That is what has taken them to 204.
13:05I think you'll find the extras had a part to play two with 15.
13:10But that start, Gurbaz, Narayan, Rahane.
13:13Look at those two, 53 and 26.
13:16That's 79 in 42 balls.
13:19That was fantastic.
13:19What about the bowling?
13:25Akshar Patel, excellent now.
13:27A little bit of a worry about the injury to his hand.
13:31Kuldeep, no wicket, two games in a row now.
13:33Didn't bowl out.
13:35And Chameera's figures don't do justice.
13:36I thought after that first over, he bowled remarkably well.
13:39Stark coming back, picking wickets at the end with three for 43.
13:43And very brave of Vipraj Nigam to come in and bowl in the 18th over.
13:47He was impressive two for 41.
13:49He was impressive two for 44.
13:56Right.
13:57The general feeling is that this game is wide open.
14:00That's what even a batter from KKR thought it's a good surface to bat on.
14:04Keep your eye on the Duke.
14:05Keep your eye on the strike rate.
14:07We've got a fascinating 120 balls ahead of us.
14:14Straight away boundary.
14:15How far was it from point?
14:16He needs all the support he can get.
14:19Oh, the miss hit.
14:29Andre Russell underneath.
14:31The catch is easily taken.
14:33And the Kolkata night riders, it's come off.
14:35Abhishek Perel slams his pad as he goes off.
14:41Left-arm bowlers to left-hand batters.
14:44This shouldn't happen.
14:46Often, captains shy away from this particular contest.
14:49But Ajinka Rihanna take a bow.
14:52Anik Oroi take a bow.
14:54And they have got the early breakthrough.
14:56And it is Abhishek Perel has shown some fluency early on.
14:59Four for one.
14:59Four for one.
15:03Well, he can bat like that.
15:05And he bats like that day in, day out on the franchise circuit.
15:08Seven off his first.
15:14Makes room.
15:15This is a classic shot.
15:16Noclerc who plays spin day in, day out.
15:23Finds a gap for four.
15:26Superb in time.
15:27So Faf Duplessis.
15:28Wide open spaces on the onside.
15:35Faf Duplessis is quite enjoying this over.
15:38From Harshid Rana.
15:40Faf 19 of 10.
15:44There's a field red mid-wicket.
15:45He'll watch.
15:46Beats him easily to his left.
15:47For another boundary.
15:49Deep square.
15:50It moved a lot straighter.
15:51An interesting chase.
15:56Low full touch.
15:57And easily punched away.
16:05Bowler's very interested.
16:08He's just having a look around to say,
16:10was there maybe some bat involved?
16:11He's having a chat with his captain as well.
16:14Also asking the same question by the looks of it.
16:19And eventually he's convinced to send this to the third umpire.
16:24So Menon has been a busy man tonight.
16:32Pitching line, impact in line, wicket sitting.
16:35I'll go back to Sai on field.
16:36Sai, you need to change your decision.
16:38You're on screen now.
16:40You can signal out.
16:42Bowler was very interested.
16:44And you can see why.
16:46The only question that was raised was there was their bat.
16:49There definitely wasn't.
16:51It's 43 for two.
16:57Scored quite a few of his runs straight down the ground tonight.
16:59Faf Duplessis.
17:01He seems to be finding a rhythm again in his batting.
17:03Chakravati is causing problems early on.
17:11Fourth delivery and already you can see that he's in business.
17:18Going leg side.
17:20Just a release of some pressure created by Chakravati.
17:2558 for two.
17:26Power play done.
17:27Well, there was hesitation with the running.
17:33Big hesitation.
17:35Sun on the right doing the fielding.
17:38A little bit of miscommunication between the two, I think, as well.
17:43Yes, keep it going.
17:47Yeah, okay.
17:48The bales have looked up.
17:49Hatter is short of the ground.
17:51I'm ready with my decision for the big screen.
17:53And Raul is gone.
18:0360 for three.
18:05Go to the website and vote.
18:09Aksha Patel.
18:11Straight down the ground.
18:12It's been a good option tonight to go straight.
18:19That's it!
18:21Shouts of catch.
18:21It was never going to be so.
18:23He's found the gap.
18:24He's placed it really well.
18:29Oh, he'll beat the man for four.
18:33He never has stopped it, but Sunil Arayan gently watched it go by.
18:40More like that.
18:41Plays the big hit and restores parity.
18:52So often they calculate over by over.
18:55That's a calculated shot, but he's in pain.
18:5710 of the always, 97 for three.
19:07Bob Duplessis.
19:0850 of 31 balls.
19:09Fine innings.
19:10He's kept the flag flying for the Delhi Capitals.
19:16Four more.
19:17I think they've decided he's going to have a go at it because he's not happy at all.
19:22He's in a lot of pain with that left hand.
19:24He's in a lot of pain.
19:25He's in a lot of pain.
19:26He's in a lot of pain.
19:27He's in a lot of pain.
19:28He's in a lot of pain.
19:29He's in a lot of pain.
19:30Brilliant.
19:31Easy.
19:32Faf is controlling this innings now.
19:33And he's bringing that required rate down with every shot he plays.
19:37And he's taken advantage of it.
19:43They're just not able to string two quiet overs in that can get that asking rate ballooning
19:49up.
19:51And just protect that a little bit.
19:56Boy, can Robben Powell pull it off?
19:57No.
19:58Oh, has he?
19:59No.
20:00I don't think he has.
20:01A boundary to round it off.
20:0313 of the over.
20:0484 required now.
20:0748 balls.
20:08It's one to one for three.
20:13The boundaries never cease.
20:15This is such a good shot.
20:17Because he's placed it so well.
20:19Just had to be covered inside the circle.
20:25Straight up.
20:27Will clear Andre Russell for a six.
20:29And straight away impact of the very first ball.
20:32And you've got to say at this stage, they're driving on the highway with not a stop in sight.
20:44Now the catch is taken.
20:45Akshar puts his arm out at Pav du Plessis.
20:49But he's got to go.
20:50Having made a fabulous contribution.
20:55This one is closer to a hundred.
20:57And he did just look like maybe a little bit rushed slightly.
21:00Maybe taken by surprise by the length too.
21:02136 for 40 as he makes 43 tonight.
21:07Yeah!
21:09Oh, beautiful from Sunil Narayan.
21:12He retains this ability to change the course of the match.
21:16Even if it seems things are not going his way.
21:19This is a top over.
21:20Exactly what KKR needed.
21:23This is a massive over.
21:25It started with the six.
21:27And you just thought that there might have been some trouble for Narayan in this over.
21:33On 38 for 5.
21:34It won't be because he's found a spot.
21:41For the ball to reach the boundary.
21:43Heartbreaking for KKR fans.
21:45When there's a boundary of the last ball.
21:47But well played Vipraj Nigam.
21:49146 for 5.
21:50There's a fielder there.
21:56The catch is taken.
21:57This is a big moment.
21:58Because this is Fab du Plessis.
22:0162.
22:02Sunil Narayan is turning this game around like he does so many times.
22:06He's got a third.
22:09And all that work being done by Sunil Narayan.
22:13In what he hopes.
22:15Will move from a game changing spell.
22:21For KKR he'll be hoping it's a match winning spell.
22:26Faf couldn't kick on.
22:2862.
22:29Well.
22:31Constructed runs.
22:32146 for 6.
22:36Yep.
22:37Nice.
22:38Very nice from Vipraj.
22:45Enough on it.
22:46No.
22:47Yes.
22:48Just.
22:51For a while.
22:52Ruffman Powell.
22:53Was hovering underneath it.
23:00Got him.
23:01Chakrabarti strikes.
23:04He hasn't been at his best in the first 3 overs.
23:06He's bowled.
23:08But this is important.
23:11The spin twin who never lets him down.
23:13Doesn't on this occasion.
23:14Simplest of catches.
23:17He goes cheaply.
23:187 from 6.
23:19160 for 7.
23:24Straight up.
23:25Gurbaz calls.
23:27Back to back wickets.
23:28For Baron Chakrabarti.
23:29You can see that.
23:30Just a little bit widen.
23:31And the wrong one as well.
23:32Gets the leading edge.
23:33Gurbaz says straight away.
23:34It's mine.
23:35So first ball duck for Stark.
23:36It's 160 for 8.
23:37In the 18th over.
23:38Top class shot.
23:39Wow.
23:40That is some shot from Vipraj.
23:41No one there.
23:42Valuable.
23:43From Vipraj.
23:44High.
23:45That might a go.
23:46It's gone.
23:47It is gone.
23:48What ball striking.
23:49He rightly refused a single of the previous ball.
24:21that will be four that is some shots some muscle
24:26no error then four not enough
24:33bang on target from Andre Russell
24:41this is a comeback of magnanimous proportions
24:46by KKR cue Sunil Narayan cue Sunil Narayan and how many times have we said
24:55that over the years in this great competition Sunil Narayan has turned the
24:59game on its head batters need to take a lot of credit too because that's an
25:03excellent score they had to defend that's an excellent innings though under
25:07real pressure 19 deliveries for 38 189 for nine final rights to be administered
