🏏IPL 2024: Match 16 - DC vs KKR at Visakhapatnam @ 7:30PM IST🏏 - Page 56

They brought in Russell so late - I didn't even get the wickets from him!

KKR continue to fly high - a complete all-round performance from the men in purple and gold! Shreyas Iyer elected to bat first on a proper highway of a track and his batters repaid the faith he had in them. Narine's free-flowing batting, young Raghuvanshi's classy knock, and quickfire cameos from Russell and Rinku SIngh enabled KKR to post their highest score ever. It was always going to be an uphill task for DC and they were found wanting within the powerplay itself. They were reduced to 33/4 and from then on, the writing was on the wall for them. Pant and Stubbs lit up the stadium with their attractive strokeplay and stitched a 93-run stand. Once that was broken, DC kept losing wickets in clusters and crumbled under pressure.

Starc picked his first two wickets of IPL 2024, Arora impressed with his 3-fer, and Chakravarthy also picked 3.

In the hindsight, DC didn't make judicious use of DRS and that added to their woes. One of them was that of Narine who went on to dismantle the DC bowers with his highest T20 score!

Rishabh Pant | DC skipper: We were just all over the place (with the ball), we could have done better, and it is one of those days I feel. As a batting unit, we talked about going hard (after the target) and that's how we approach these games because it is better to be all-out trying to go for the total than not chase it down. It was quite loud (the venue) and couldn't see the timer on the screen (talking about the non-DRS moments) and there was some issue with the screen as well, there are some things you can control and some you cannot control, you just need to go with the flow. Time to reflect better as a team, as an individual and come back strong in the next game. I am enjoying each and every day (talking about his fitness and comeback) and cricket has its own ups and downs, and at the same time you can try and give your best as an individual.

Mustafa Moudi : "85 with the Bat, A Wicket and excellent Economy Rate with the ball and a Catch as a Fielder. Narine has contributed in every department tonight !!"

Mitchell Starc, two wickets tonight: (What worked tonight?) Not changing too much. In T20s, you get some dropped chances and some edges and they don't go your way. But we are 3-0 and that's what it is all about. (Biggest price tag. Struggled with wickets early on) Nothing really as I said before. Games come thick and fast. It is T20 cricket, it can get brutal. You take a bit of luck here and there. We are 3-0, been clinical with the bat, so personal things aside, the team is going fantastic. Nice to have Marsh and Warner in the pocket. Another way win. (Vaibhav Arora and the short ball) That is all him. He was fantastic, using the short ball really well. We talk more in training and in bowling meetings. Just talking about that side of things. They may have questions, we have little conversations, certainly not me telling them what to do."
