It's game 16 of the Indian Premier League 2024, with longtime rivals Delhi Capitals facing Kolkata Knight Riders. The Capitals have adjusted to Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium of Visakhapatnam as a home away from home, providing DC their first win, defeating the in-form Chennai Super Kings. In a game that saw Rishabh Pant smash his first fifty in a long time and Prithvi Shaw return to form, DC stormed back to hand CSK their first defeat. Their next opponent is an unbeaten team, and Gambhir's return has inspired a rebirth in the KKR camp. They're not just winning, but they're winning by enormous margins.
Yet another run-fest in TATA IPL 2024, the second-highest total in the history of IPL recorded by the winners tonight. KKR's innings were all about raining boundaries across the stadium, with Phil Salt & Sunil Naraine setting the stage for the young Angkrish Raghuvanshi and later the power hitter Andre Russell. On the other hand, DC's innings were all about losing wickets. Since the 2nd over of DC's innings, they kept on losing wickets in quick intervals and were never able to soak the pressure of the target, though DC skipper Rishab Pant lit up some amount of hope but the mountain was huge to climb. And with that, we move to Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad for match no. 17 were the home team Gujarat Titans will lock horns with the Punjab Kings.
