KKR vs DC, IPL 2022 Highlights

Delhi Capitals collected 68 run in the powerplay, taking the attack to Umesh, Rasikh Salam, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine in the first 6 overs.
Prithvi was going all guns blazing in the powerplay, continuing from where he left in their previous game against Lucknow Super Giants as he hit 2 sixes and 7 boundaries for his 29-ball 51. Shaw kept it simple and enjoyed the company of Warner, who announced his arrival at Delhi after a horror season with SunRisers Hyderabad wherein he was stopped of captaincy and dropped from the side.
Warner launched into the KKR bowling attack after losing Prithvi following a 93-run opening stand that came in just 52 balls. The Australia opener got to his first fifty on return to the Capitals and made 51 from jus t4 balls.
Delhi looked set to post a 220-plus total when Warner and captain Rishabh Pant were going full steam after Shaw's exit. However, Pant fell for a 14-ball 27 with Andre Russell getting the dangerous Delhi captain.
