Finn Allen, spinners decimate Delhi Capitals as Kolkata register fourth consecutive wins in IPL 2026

Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders registered a comfortable win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the IPL 2026.

Sri Lanka international Pathum Nissanka, who has experience of playing on slow surfaces, was the only batter to show some hunger, scoring a…

So far, it has been an extremely difficult season for the franchise, with the batters struggling to live up to the expectations. Constant chop and changes haven’t helped either. The franchise has tried multiple opening combinations this year and the middle order was affected because of the same. That raises a question of…
