The second qualifier of #IPL2021 was the stuff legends are made of. And not really in the right sense of the word. For the records, KKR restricted DC to 135 runs in their 20 overs and crossed the line with two balls to spare. By the definition of close finishes, this was a humdinger. And yet, #KKR would be kicking themselves for getting cornered so badly as their dynamic opening duo of Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer had put on 96 runs in 12.2 overs which left just 40 to get off 46 deliveries. Should have been a walk in the park and not across hot coals as it turned out. On their part, #DC made their share of errors by not bringing back their two prime attacking bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje till the Gill-Venky duo had settled down rather well. But, once the breakthrough came in the 13th over, several more followed with two coming off the 20th over bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin. The off spinner was on a hat-trick but the solid Rahul Tripathi converted the ball into a winning one for his team with a huge six straight back over the bowler. When Delhi batted, the KKR bowlers were handled very well by Eoin Morgan. Varun Chakravarthy was the epitome of guile and so was Sunil Narine, but for his first over that went for plenty. On their part, DC too kept postponing the big hits till very late in the day. Even in the power play they had 18 dot balls compared to 10 from KKR - a match-up they lost decisively and never really emerged out of it.
