Khaleel Ahmed	4	0	43	1	10.75	12	3	2	6	1
17.2 to SS Iyer, taken at mid-off! Shreyas falls to the short ball. Khaleel bowled outside off, as the ball almost seemed to have rushed through to Shreyas, who went pulling but got it off the top edge. Stubbs kept his eyes on the skied ball, and took it reverse cupped. 232/4
Ishant Sharma	3	0	43	2	14.33	6	5	3	0	0
19.1 to AD Russell, wow, superb ball! An inswinging yorker at 144kph floors Russell - literally! It lands on the base of middle and leg, as Russell looks to jam his bat down with a horizontal bat, but is late. It is too quick for him, and he ends up on his stomach on the pitch. 264/6 19.3 to Ramandeep Singh, nabbed at extra cover! DC are striking late to check KKR. A slower ball this time from Ishant, who went short and pretty wide of off. Ramandeep went swatting far away from his body at what was a tenth-stump ball, but ended up getting the toe end of the bat to Shaw's left for a simple catch. 266/7
Anrich Nortje	4	0	59	3	14.75	6	5	4	2	0
4.3 to PD Salt, now taken by Stubbs at mid-off! So Salt's luck doesn't last long. He stands deep in the crease, and a bit outside leg, looking to loft at this pretty full ball angling into the stumps. I think he was done in by the rapid pace there, with the ball seemingly skidding through.. 60/1 13.2 to A Raghuvanshi, ramped to deep third! Ishant Sharma seemed to be at a straightish deep third, rather. Nortje went for the short ball around sixth stump, and the ball rose considerably. So Raghuvanshi went ramping while using the pace and bounce, but found the fielder on the edge of the boundary. 176/3 18.6 to RK Singh, ahh, taken at mid-on! But what a typical Rinku innings: an impact cameo at the death to demoralise the opposition. Nortje went for a dipping yorker around fifth stump, as Rinku almost squatted to try and chip that back. But he couldn't it away this time, as Warner took it over his head. 264/5

12.3 to SP Narine, tickled to Pant! It was a soft dismissal. Narine falls to the bouncer. It pitched on off, and climbed on rather sharply towards Narine. He was standing after backing away, and looked to pull. But the extra bounce meant the ball took the top edge to the keeper, who took it with a reverse cup in front his face. 164/2

Mitchell Starc	3	0	25	2	8.33	10	2	2	0	0
2.5 to MR Marsh, Mitchell gets Mitchell! And that is Starc's first IPL 2024 wicket. Marsh looks to drive this full ball from his body and generates a lot of power on that shot, but not the height, and Ramandeep at cover point intuitively sticks both hands out at the right time. Marsh's poor form continues. 26/2 4.3 to DA Warner, chopped on! Starc gets the second Aussie too. Good length ball on a fifth-stump line. Warner doesn't have the width to cut but goes for it anyway. Under-edge onto the deck and into the stumps. Replay shows Starc changed his pace on the wicket ball. 33/4 See all photos
Vaibhav Arora	4	0	27	3	6.75	13	4	0	3	0
1.5 to PP Shaw, can mid-on get there - yes! Varun Chakravarthy, not particularly known for his fielding, has taken a sensational low catch diving forward. Vaibhav bowls a fullish ball outside off, and the ball swings into Shaw. He tries mow it over mid-on, but mis-hits. The ball doesn't gather a lot of air, so Varun has to take the tough route of diving forward. Mission possible! They go to the TV umpire who confirms it is a clean catch.. 21/1 3.6 to Abishek Porel, short ball too good for Porel! Simple catch for short fine leg. Arora aims for a short ball at Porel's head, and he tries the pull while taking his eyes of the ball. Knocks the youngster over with a classic tall fast bowler's dismissal. 27/3 16.1 to Rasikh Salam, And Vaibhav gets a third! Goes for the tried-and-tested method of bouncer to a lower-order batter. Gets a shoulder-high ball to Rasikh outside off and he slices the pull to the wicketkeeper. 161/9 See all photos
Andre Russell	1.2	0	14	1	10.50	4	0	2	0	0
17.2 to A Nortje, length ball around off. Pulled but without much power, and taken by Shreyas on the leg side inside the circle! KKR win by 106 runs. 166/10
Sunil Narine	4	0	29	1	7.25	12	0	3	0	0
15.1 to Sumit Kumar, To deep midwicket! Full ball on off and middle. Turning into Sumit. With only tailenders remaining, he goes for a big shot over the leg side, but does not have the distance on this occasion either. Time out. 159/8
Varun Chakravarthy	4	0	33	3	8.25	10	2	2	2	1
12.2 to RR Pant, this time Shreyas holds onto a catch off Varun's bowling! Tossed up ball, a bit wider outside off. Turning away and Pant also tries to go inside out over cover. Throws all his energy behind it but the shot is sliced and Shreyas at cover calls for that nice and early. 126/5 12.3 to AR Patel, Manish Pandey joins the action now! Runs in from long on and takes a catch inside the circle that was swirling by diving forward. Varun enticed Axar with a tossed up ball just outside off and he went for the glory shot. Mistimed, very high in the air, and there was little doubt on Pandey's catching technique. 126/6 14.5 to T Stubbs, Stubbs' innings is over as he can't clear Starc at deep backward square leg. Varun bowls a quicker one that lands outside leg, and Stubbs doesn't get enough room for his hands to go through the bat swing. Taken well inside the boundary line. 159/7 See all photos

Ponting 'almost embarrassed' by Delhi's loss to KKR

This was one of those knocks when an individual transcended the context of the scorecard

Starc: 'Personal stuff aside, the team's start has been fantastic'

'Cricket is all about batting, so if you can contribute with the bat, as an individual it's more pleasing," says Player of the Match Sunil Narine

Narine, Raghuvanshi and Arora power demolition of Capitals

KKR handed Capitals a thrashing to make it three wins in three and go to the top of the table with a massive net run rate boost
