'Aakhir wo di aa hi gaya'- Twitter reacts as Delhi Capitals get their first win of IPL 2023, defeat KKR in a low-scoring thriller

Delhi Capitals (DC) managed to secure their first win of the IPL 2023 season after a hard-fought victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 28th match of the tournament. KKR batted first and could only manage to put 127 runs on the board, thanks to some brilliant bowling from DC.

Opening batsman Jason Roy (43 off 39) and middle-order batter Andre Russell (38 off 31) were the only significant contributors with the bat for KKR. The DC bowlers, led by Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav, all took two wickets each to restrict KKR to a below-par score.

DC, despite the modest target, struggled to get going initially. However, opener David Warner came to the team's rescue with a brilliant knock of 57 off 41 balls, which included 11 fours. Warner held the innings together and scored crucial boundaries when it mattered the most.

After Warner's dismissal, Axar Patel (19) and Lalit Yadav remained unbeaten at the crease to guide DC to a five-wicket victory with 2 balls to spare. While DC's win was not a comfortable one, it certainly was a much-needed one, especially after they lost their opening three matches in the tournament.

The victory will provide a much-needed confidence boost to the DC team, which has been struggling to find its rhythm in the tournament so far. For KKR, the loss was a disappointing one, as they could not capitalize on their strong bowling performance and lost their second match in a row.

Overall, the match was a low-scoring affair, but it provided some excellent bowling performances from both teams. However, it was Warner's innings that proved to be the difference in the end, as he steered DC to their first victory of the season. The win will undoubtedly give DC a much-needed boost and some momentum going forward in the tournament.
