Skipper KL Rahul (77) and Deepak Hooda (52) helped them put up an impressive total of 195 for 3 while batting first. Mohsin Khan was then brilliant with figures of 4 for 16 as Delhi were held to 189 for 7.
Kolkata ended their five-match losing streak by getting the better of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven wickets in their last match. A good bowling performance saw them restrict RR to 152 for 5.
The batters then chased down the target with ease. The win gave Kolkata’s IPL 2022 campaign a much-needed boost.
