IPL 2019: KKR vs DC: As it happened: Dhawan powers Delhi Capitals to easy win over Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL 2019: KKR vs DC: As it happened: Dhawan powers Delhi Capitals to easy 7 wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders

Shikhar Dhawan made an unbeaten 97 as Capitals defeated Kolkata by 7 wickets

Kolkata, April 12: Shubman Gill made a fine fifty and Andre Russell made a typical power blitz to drive Knight Riders to a competitive 178 for seven. But Shikhar Dhawan made an unbeaten 97 as Capitals overhauled the target with 7 deliveries to spare for a seven-wicket win at the Eden Gardens here on Friday.

Swashbuckling Andre Russell's big-hitting prowess will be pitted against Kagiso Rabada's inch-perfect yorkers for the second time when Kolkata Knight Riders face Delhi Capitals in a return-leg fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Friday (April 12).

Second in the IPL table with eight points from six matches, KKR's season so far has been a Russell show with the Jamaican amassing 257 runs from five innings, out of which 150 have come in sixes alone. His average has been 128.50 while the strike rate is a mind-boggling 212.39, something that has left the opposition clueless on how to stop him. Can DC halt him and KKR? Live updates by MyKhel.
