Chasing an easy target of 128 runs for victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here, captain David Warner (57) provided a good start with a blistering half-century. However, in the middle of the innings due to the prowess of the KKR spinners, the Capitals lost consecutive wickets and came under pressure, but in the last over they screamed for victory.

KKR batting failure
The Kolkata Knight Riders, who looked confused by the disciplined bowling attack of the host Delhi Capitals, lost all their wickets in 20 overs and were only able to collect 127 runs. KKR crossed the 120-run mark thanks to Andre Russell's solo 38 off 31 balls and opener Jason Roy's (43) struggle in the final overs of the innings.

IPL 2023: Sourav Ganguly explains why Delhi Capitals lost in 5 consecutive matches!
Sourav Ganguly on DC 5 straight loss: Delhi Capitals registered their first win in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament with a win against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday night. Earlier, Delhi Capitals had lost their first five matches. Delhi Capitals Cricket Director Sourav Ganguly, who spoke after winning against KKR, revealed the reason behind the defeat in the first 5 matches.
Speaking after the win, Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly said, "Today (Thursday) we were lucky. We bowled well. But, the problem we faced was in the batting department. Going to the dressing room, we are going to focus on getting better. The spinners also bowled well. But, more in the batting department. There needs to be hard work," he remarked.
"We have to work hard with the boys and try to bring them back to form. Prithvi Shah, Manish Pandey, and Mitchell Marsh are all important players for us. One day we get a break and travel to Hyderabad. We expect the wicket there to be generally batsman-friendly," he said.
Getting the first points in the 2023 IPL tournament brought pressure not only on the players but also on the team management. Ganguly said that getting the first point in this tournament is like scoring the opening runs in Test cricket.
"I am very happy with the first match. Sitting in the dugout, I felt that I had scored my first run in Test cricket," he said.
