Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana and Varun Chakrawarty helped Kolkata forget the horrors of their 84/8 against Bangalore, and lifted them to a much-needed win.
Kolkata were put into bat first and it worked for Delhi, with Kolkata reduced to 42/3 in 7.2 overs with Shubman out on 9 and Karthik out on 3. Sunil Narine then came out to bat and built a 115-run partnership with Nitish Rana. Both players scored half centuries as Kolkata posted 194/6.
Pat Cummins celebrated with two big wickets in his opening spell - Rahane, playing in Shaw’s place, got out for a duck and Dhawan fell on 6. Shreyas Iyes top-scored with 47 but Varun Chakravarthy’s 5/20 ended any chances of Delhi’s comeback in the game.
