In this match, Kuldeep Yadav was the highest run scorer for Delhi, who scored 35 runs in 26 balls.

Aakash Chopra criticized this decision of Delhi Capitals
reviewing the match Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra criticized DC’s decision to bat first. The 46-year-old player said that, in Kolkata, no one bats first; He also talked about how Sourav Ganguly should have known everything about the pitch, but still made a mistake.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Who bats first after winning the toss? I’m not much of a critic, but if it’s true I have to talk about it. The team that won the toss has batted first only twice in the last 30 matches here, and whoever did it, it is not that you always win chasing the target, but in Kolkata no one bats first.”
He said, “Whatever happens, batting becomes a little easier later, but Delhi said they will bat first. I was surprised. If Sourav Ganguly couldn’t read this pitch, then who could? This pitch is like the back of his palm. You all know about it, so it was incomprehensible.”
