Rohit, in contrast, took his time before accelerating. He managed his first 10 runs from 17 deliveries, but quickly found his rhythm, dispatching Zia Ur Rahman for a four in the sixth over, followed by a four and a six in the eighth. He then took a liking to Rashid Khan, sweeping him for four to bring up his 47-ball fifty, and later collected back-to-back boundaries and a maximum off the Afghan spinner.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive loss. Finn Allen of Kolkata Knight Riders. (Sanchit Khanna/HT) The Feroz Shah Kotla wicket has sprung many surprises throughout the season: one day it was a belter where over 520 runs were scored, another day it was a sluggish surface that gripped, or it resembled the first session of a Test match with significant movement. On Friday, DC set KKR a mere 148-run target and it could be argued that they once again failed to come to terms with the pitch. Spin. Slow. Stump to stump — the Kolkata spinners had received the memo early. It wasn’t a minefield but the Delhi batters struggled to apply themselves. This is exactly what Allen did en route to his century as he led Kolkata Knight Riders to an eight-wicket win. Allen’s innings, a …
