Delhi: In an exciting match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 14 runs. Kolkata scored 204 runs while batting first, which proved to be very heavy for Delhi. At the beginning of the match, KKR scored fast in the powerplay, but the speed slowed down in the middle overs. Despite this, the team scored 204 runs losing 9 wickets.
Kuldeep Yadav did not get wicket
Delhi’s left-arrow Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav could not take any wickets in the second consecutive match. He conceded 27 runs in 3 overs in this match. Captain Akshar Patel did not bowl him in the middle over. Kuldeep hit the most in the 15th over when Rinku Singh hit him two fours and a six.
Jokes between Kuldeep and Rinku, the subject of discussion made
After the match, when the players of both the teams were talking among themselves, during that time Kuldeep Yadav slapped Rinku Singh twice. For the first time both of them were seen laughing, but for the second time Rinku’s facial expressions became a bit serious and they started saying something to Kuldeep. All this was in a funny way, but this remembered the incident of Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth in IPL 2008.
