The Kolkata Knight Riders came up with a comprehensive seven wicket-win over the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League at the Eden Gardens on Monday.

In the chase, Phil Salt scored his sixth IPL half-century in a powerful innings where he scored 68 off 33, with seven boundaries and five sixes.
Eventually, the cameos from Shreyas Iyer (33 off 23) and Venkatesh Iyer (26 off 23) helped them get over the line with a score of 157/3, with 21 balls to spare.
The Knight Riders sit firmly in second spot in the table, while the Capitals are sixth after 11 matches.
