Batting first Kolkata batsmen again looked shaky. Gill cameback to form but his strike rate wasn't upto the mark. Rana,Tripathi, Karthik,Morgan all literally failed to go on and make a big score. It was only due to the birthday boy Andre Russell's cameo of 45 runs Kolkata could post a score past 150 runs.

Chasing 155 runs to win Delhi started off in blistering fashion. Shivam Mavi was the bowler for Kolkata. He bowled a wide first ball and then all 6 legal deliveries were hit for four by Prithvi Shaw making him the first player in IPL history to hit 6 fours in the very first over of a innings. Incidentally Mavi and Shaw are very good friends as they have won u-19 world cup in the year 2018 toge. After the match was over Mavi was seen taking 'playful revenge' vs Shaw as he grabbed him by his neck.
