KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav Star as Delhi Capitals Crush Kolkata Knight Riders by 40 Runs

Delhi Capitals ended their IPL 2026 campaign on a winning note with a commanding 40-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.

Batting first, DC posted a massive 203/5, powered by KL Rahul’s explosive 60 off 30 balls and useful contributions from Axar Patel and David Miller. In reply, KKR looked in control with skipper Ajinkya Rahane smashing 63, but the game changed after Kuldeep Yadav struck twice in one over. KKR collapsed dramatically from 128/3 to 163 all out in 18.4 overs.

Lungi Ngidi and Kuldeep picked up three wickets each as DC finished sixth in the points table, while KKR signed off their season with another disappointing defeat.
