  • Player of the Match
    Sunil Narine
    85(39)&1/29(4)
Right then, we have had 16 matches so far in this year's competition and the points table is starting to take shape with a few teams standing out and a few teams having a tough time. There's still a long, long way to go but it is now about building momentum. Next up is a clash between Gujarat and Punjab in Ahmedabad which will take place on Thursday, 4 April and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Sunil Narine is the Player of the Match for his devastating knock at the top of the order, his 14th time winning the award, joint-highest for Kolkata in the tournament alongside Andre Russell. Narine says cricket is all about batting and it is much more pleasing but at the end of the day, he still enjoys his bowling. Adds that he has one role with the bat and knows it well and reckons that they do have great batters in the side and he just does his job. Mentions that Phil Salt is aggressive at the other end which takes pressure off him and he doesn't want to play too many dot balls either. Ends by saying that they want to win games by big margins and thankfully, it all went well for them in this game.
Shreyas Iyer, the skipper of Kolkata says that they thought 220 would be a good total and 270 plus was the icing on the cake. Says Sunil Narine's job is to go out there and free his arms. It's a big positive that he gets them to a flying start in the Powerplay and takes on the bowlers. Appreciates Angkrish Raghuvanshi and says he was fearless and also lauds his work ethic. Adds he is a smart batter and the shots were pleasing to the eyes. Mentions it is great to see the bowlers stepping up and taking timely wickets and most importantly says they complemented each other well. Says Vaibhav Arora was brilliant with the ball and took important wickets. On being asked about Harshit Rana's injury, he says he was feeling a bit of discomfort in his shoulder area. Ends up by saying that you always have to be down to earth, especially in a tournament like this.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Shreyas Iyer won the toss and had no hesitation to bat first as the pitch looked like a batting paradise and the Kolkata batters proved it as well. Phil Salt was quick out of the blocks but it was Sunil Narine who after a few plays and misses, went berserk. Narine kept hitting the ball to the fence and over the fence. Young Angkrish Raghuvanshi who was sent up the order matched Narine shot-for-shot and the duo piled on the misery on the Delhi bowlers. Everyone that came in to bat after that kept finding the fence with the likes of Andre Russell and Rinku Singh playing formidable cameos to take Kolkata to 272 massive runs, the second-highest total ever in the competition. Delhi started off decently with the ball but after the first two overs or so, everything changed and they went for plenty. No one was able to curtail the flow of runs and they missed the services of Kuldeep Yadav in that middle phase heavily as well. In reply, Delhi got into early trouble and even after a couple of solid knocks, they ended up losing by 106 runs.
Kolkata's lead pacer, Mitchell Starc is now down for a chat. Starc says that he didn't change too much and in a game of T20, you need to move on pretty quickly and it's not the start he wanted personally but the positive is that the team is winning. Adds that it is T20 cricket and it can be brutal at times, especially on the bowlers and you need to take a bit of luck whenever you can get it. Jokes a bit about getting his fellow Aussies batters out and is happy that the team bowled well. On Vaibhav Arora, he says that Vaibhav used the short ball well and for him, it is mostly about talking to the young guys in the nets and ends by saying that their bowling was fantastic in this game.
Rishabh Pant, the Delhi skipper is down for a chat. He begins by saying that the bowlers were just all over the place and it was one of those days where nothing went to their favor. Adds that as a batting unit, they talked about going as hard as possible. It's better to get all out than not trying to chase the target. On being asked about reviews, he states it was too loud and there was some issue with the screen and says nothing can be done about it. He says that it's time to reflect from an individual point of view and come positive in the next game. On being asked about his fitness, he states he is doing well and enjoying his time in the field.
Delhi had a win under their belt coming into this match but needed another win to really get up and running. However, it turned out to be a total disaster from their perspective as their bowling which was the most economical inside the Powerplay this season went for 80 plus runs in this match. Once that happened, everything went downhill. With the bat, it was a very, very tough ask but certainly, the top order could have done a lot more. Prithvi Shaw was the first one to get out and Mitchell Marsh once again flopped. Abishek Porel came in as the Impact Player but got out on a duck and David Warner too couldn't kick on. Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs though played a couple of stellar knocks which will be a huge positive for Delhi. However, they need to perform better as a team if they want their season to get back on track.
Wow, what a win here for Kolkata as they make it three wins out of three to start the campaign and go joint top with Rajasthan on 6 points. This is also the first time in 17 seasons that Kolkata have won their first three games of the season. Yes, the foundation was laid in the first innings by the batters and it was a score that was almost impossible to even dream of but the pacers too did a stellar job in the Powerplay. The Impact Player, Vaibhav Arora made an instant impact by picking up Prithvi Shaw, and after that Mitchell Starc joined the party, getting rid of both his fellow Aussies as Arora got his second wicket too and Kolkata had 90% of the game in the bag then and there. There was some quality ball-striking from the opposition in the middle phase but that was bound to happen on such a good pitch. Varun Chakaravarthy too got wickets at the right time and ensured that Kolkata not only won the game but did so by a big margin as well. Arora and Varun Chakaravarthy ended with three wickets each.

Strategic break! Well, this game seems to be done and dusted and Kolkata are heading towards a massive win which would also make it three out of three for them. The Delhi middle order has fought valiantly but the damage done at the top was just too much to repair and they will have to go back to the drawing board. Let's see how many more runs can Delhi get. Also, Anrich Nortje walks out to bat now.

A half-hearted appeal for LBW but it is turned down. Shreyas Iyer has a think about it and does take the review. Quick again from Varun Chakaravarthy and on a length on middle, this one turns in sharply after pitching and Sumit Kumar gets beaten past the inside edge while looking to block. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball was missing the leg stump by a fair bit. Not the best day for reviews, Delhi didn't take a couple that would have gone in their favor and now Kolkata have wasted two.

The Kolkata pacers have done extremely well to take wickets inside the Powerplay and pile on the pressure on the opposition. Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs have both started to fire but from here on, Delhi will need more than a miracle to turn things around and get the win.

Mitchell Starc To David Warner OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! Mitchell Starc has the last laugh here and David Warner is devastated with himself. Starc keeps the pace up and around 143 clicks and bowls it a tad fuller. The line also gets corrected and is now close to the off stump and Warner ends up trying to cut too close to the body. The ball catches the inside edge and goes back into the stumps. Delhi have lost 4 inside the Powerplay and fall further into an abyss.

Vaibhav Arora To Abishek Porel OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! What a well-directed short ball that was! Steams in and brings out the surprise bumper, bowling it over leg stump and the ball just climbs on quickly to the batter. Abishek Porel is late to pick up the length and gets hurried into the pull, only managing to lob it towards short fine leg where Sunil Narine takes a simple catch. One Impact Player gets the other Impact Player out and Kolkata are well and truly in command here.

Mitchell Starc To Mitchell Marsh OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Mitchell Marsh cannot believe it! Full and wide outside off, there to be hit and Marsh nails the drive uppishly as well. Marsh though hits it just to the right of point where Ramandeep Singh sticks out both hands and grabs it out of thin air. That was hit hard but Marsh's slim run with the bat continues and Mitchell Starc, who was under the scanner of being expensive, picks up his first wicket of the campaign.

Vaibhav Arora To Prithvi Shaw OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent from Varun Chakaravarthy and the lack of foot movement has cost Prithvi Shaw big time here. Slightly fuller in length and on the stumps, swinging back in, Shaw stays put and just looks to bludgeon it over mid on but miscues it badly in front of mid on. Varun Chakaravarthy there puts in a big dive forward and pouches it millimeters off the turf. The catch is checked and the third umpire deems that the fingers were underneath the ball and the Impact Player, Vaibhav Arora does get the early wicket for his side.
Is that a fair catch? The on-field Umpire sends it upstairs. The replays role in from several angles. The split screen comes up now. It confirms that Varun Chakaravarthy's fingers are underneath the ball and it has been called as a fair catch. Prithvi Shaw walks back.

Vaibhav Arora To Prithvi Shaw
A huge and prolonged appeal for LBW but the umpire remains unmoved. Shreyas Iyer does review it at the very last second. Vaibhav Arora brings out the big inswinger and bowls it on a good length around off. This one comes back in a long way and Prithvi Shaw misses the flick, wearing it high on the pads. There's nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball was going over the stumps. Kolkata lose an early review here.
