While anukul roy: Cricket News & Match Updates

Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders’ spinners once again dictated terms as the three‑time champions restricted Delhi Capitals to 142/8 in their IPL 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, with veteran off-spinner Sunil Narine saying that the superlative performance is down to the value of hard work and preparation in the nets.
