A fightback from spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy towards the end helped defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) come back to winning ways, beating Delhi Capitals (DC) by 14 runs at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Tuesday.
Iyer's poor string of scores continued as he could make just seven runs in five balls, with a four to his name, before he was dismissed by skipper Axar Patel with a catch from Vipraj Nigam that went too high in the air but could not get the right amount of elevation.
