Aakash Chopra has commendeÂd KKR batsmen. They displayed theÂir powerful batting approach versus Delhi Capitals. TheÂir destructive style came to the forefront in the IPL 2024 match.
KKR chose to bat first and posteÂd an immense target of 273 runs for DC in Visakhapatnam on April 3rd. The two-time champions then skittled out Rishabh Pant’s side for a meager 166, securing a reÂsounding 106-run triumph and ascending to the pinnacle of the points table.

Analyzing the clash in a video shareÂd on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra remarkeÂd that the Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen meÂrcilessly pummeled the Delhi Capitals bowling attack.
“Kolkata – what are you doing? What sort of season is this? Clothes are not washed as badly in a laundry the way you are beating up the bowlers, who does like that? Whichever batter comes says the Delhi bowlers are like a drum, everyone was drumming them, what was happening?”

The former India opener named KKR all-rounder Sunil Narine the best performer of the day.

“It started with Sunil Narine. He was the No. 1 performer of the day. It’s very difficult to choose the performer of the day in this match as they were hit a lot and 272 runs were scored. However, let’s choose one – Sunil Narine, because he was also the Player of the Match.”
“You associate aggressive shots with Narine. He does all that but the consistency. He got run out in the first match but after that, he destroyed Bengaluru in Bengaluru in the last match and he hit here again. Who would have thought this season’s highest score would come from Sunil Narine’s bat?”

Sunil Narine scored 85 runs off 39 deliveries, including seven fours and as many sixes. He then recorded figures of 1/29 in four overs during the Capitals’ chase.

Aakash Chopra states KKR could be the earliest squad to eÂarn a playoff berth in IPL 2024.
“Delhi’s bowling was extremely ordinary, including the strategy, but how well is Sunil Narine batting. Until he keeps playing like this, I am repeatedly saying that KKR hai taiyaar. They are almost guaranteed to reach the final four, they were in my top four in any case, but could be the first team.”

HoweveÂr, Aakash Chopra thought the Delhi Capitals won’t perform weÂll. He doesn’t expeÂct a dramatic turnaround for Delhi’s team.
