Delhi Capitals’ (DC) struggles in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 continued as they fell to a 7-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Monday, April 28. Their batting woes were further highlighted by the early dismissal of Prithvi Shaw, who has been strug🎀gling fo📖r a place in the playing XI.
Shaw, once touted as a generational talent, has seen his stock plummet in recent seasons. He was dropped for the previous match against Mumbai Indians (MI) but was given another chance 🌜against KKR. However, he failed to capitalize on the opportunity.

A comfortable win for KKR
Shaw’s early exit added to DC’s woes. The loss of the dangerous Jake-Fraser-McGurk soon after further crippled their batting, leaving the🐠m with a below-par total of 153 runs.
Chasing 154 for victory, the Knight Riders reached home comfortably in just 16.3 overs, with Phil Salt’s blazing 68 leading the way.
