DC ANNIHILATED BY KKR - IPL 2024

It is difficult to write about a match if one has ever supported the losing team. It was not just losing, it was the destruction of DC by KKR. The match was lost by DC in the first innings itself when KKR with their explosive batting. DC batters did not even look like they were ever trying to win the match.

DC lost by more than 100 runs to KKR probably to one of the biggest defeats in an IPL game. This takes them almost to the bottom of the table. What next for DC? The only way for DC now can be up. They cannot fall any further. But how does one go up? Is there enough time left now? DC has played 4 matches till now. There are still 10 matches remaining so there is enough time. But they need to build confidence and work on getting their basics right. Did they miss Kuldeep so much? He is an important player in the team, no doubt but too much dependency on any one player is never good for a team. Hope, Delhi will be able to build itself back up as a serious contender in this tournament.

KKR is playing extremely well. Everything seems to be working for them. All players seem to be complimenting each other. The team is on a winning streak. Gautam Gambhir seems to have brought luck with him back to the team. But, the team should be vigilant. They should not become complacent. There are 11 more matches to go for them. They need to maintain the momentum. The tournament is long and arduous. The playoffs will happen in third week of May. They need to keep up the momentum for almost two months. Will they be able to do it?
