Delhi's openers showed why all the experts rated them so highly ahead of the 2022 edition. Prithvi Shaw and David Warner put together a 93-run partnership in just 52 balls. While the 22-year-old scored a quickfire 41, the veteran Aussie batter scored a superb 61 from 45 deliveries. Delhi's skipper Rishabh Pant scored 27 off just 14 balls after which Andre Russell dismissed him.

The Pant-led side slightly tapered off post the wicket of their captain, and it seemed as if they were all set to have a batting collapse. However, handy cameos from Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur ensured that Delhi end the first innings with 215-5. This meant that Kolkata's batters had to play the big shots from ball one.

Venkatesh Iyer perished after an eight-ball 18. Amidst a lot of drama, Ajinkya Rahane struggled in the middle as he just couldn't clear the ropes. His miseries ended after Khaleel Ahmed dismissed him for a 14-ball eight. Although the two-time champions kept hitting the big shots, they kept on losing wickets at regular intervals.

Shreyas Iyer played a gem of an innings as he scored 54 from 33 balls against his former team. Post his dismissal, none of Kolkata's batters really stood up. However, Kuldeep Yadav took a four-fer, and was the pick of the bowlers.

His final over saw him pick three wickets as it ensured that the Kolkata-based franchise couldn't win the game from there. At the end, the Iyer-led side fell short of their target by 44 runs. Twitter users posted some brutal memes on the game. They went on to troll Kolkata, as well as the players who underperformed.
