Shikhar Dhawan (97 not out) starred with the bat and Rishabh Pant chipped in with important 46 as Delhi Capitals (DC) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by seven wickets at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday. Delhi Capitals had prevailed over the Knight Riders in a thrill🍎ing Super Over earlier in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.
Earlier, Shubman Gill notched up his highest score in the IPL and Andre Russell scored quickfire 45 off 21 balls to guide KKR to 178/7 a﷽f𒁏ter put in to bat.

Wonderful play by ❀@RealShubmanGill & yet again. Losing is ok but today we kind of lacked heart, especially bowling, that’s sad. Only positive out of this game was that our Dada was at Eden on the winning side. C⛎ongrats

Impressive win by . Not easy getting better of KKR at Eden Gardens, and they’ve done it with degree of ease. Wa🌟y behind on points table still, but other teams should be wary as DC seem to be regrouping well

Shikhar Dhawan's wait for his maiden century in the Twenty20 format continues.
The 97* 🎃today is his highest individual score and his 50th fifty from 234 matches in Twenty20 cri🦂cket.
