A former Knight hunting down the Knight Riders has been a common theme for Kolkata this season. Be it Dinesh Karthik, Rahul Tripathi, or Kuldeep Yadav, all of them have performed exceptionally well against their former franchise.
DC's Kuldeep Yadav was at it again as he dismantled KKR's batting line-up. He bowled three overs, and took four wickets. This included two in an over at a magnificent economy of 4.70.
His wickets included the likes of Shreyas Iyer, debutant Indrajith, Narine, and Andre Russell. After tonight's show at the Wankhede, Kuldeep Yadav is now the second-highest wicket taker with 17 scalps, second only Chahal, who has 18 wickets to his name.
As far as the match his concerned, powered by Nitish Rana's 57, KKR laboured their way to 146. Yadav was the highest wicket taker for his side with four wickets.
Earlier, DC won the toss and asked KKR to bat first.
