OUT! Caught. Lungi Ngidi to Varun Chakaravarthy. Off cutter half volley, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, caught by Patel. A strong comeback from the Delhi sees them seal a 40 run victory in the final match of the league phase for 2026. Kolkata were comfortably placed in the chase as long as skipper Ajinkya Rahane was at the crease. However, the turning point came when Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Rahane, triggering a collapse that allowed Delhi to seize control of the match. Kuldeep Yadav and Lungi Ngidi starred with the ball, picking up three wickets each, while Mitchell Starc chipped in with two wickets. Rahane fought a lone battle for KOL with a brilliant 63, but he couldn't take his side over the line. The earlier result had already seen Rajasthan wrap up the final play-off place and end Kokata's hopes. The play-offs now await with the Royals joined by Bengaluru, Gujarat and Hyderabad who will fight it out for the crown. Kuldeep Yadav is the Player of the Match.
