KKR's spinners, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, were the linchpins in tightening the screws on DC’s batting lineup. Narine, with his mystifying spins, managed to keep the batsmen on a tight leash, ending his spell with economical figures of 1/24 from his allotted four overs. Chakravarthy, on the other hand, was crucial in breaking the backbone of DC's middle order.

He expressed his relief post-match about how the pitch played, noting the tackiness that helped in gripping the ball better, which was evident when he dismissed Rishabh Pant—a wicket he felt changed the game dynamics. His satisfaction was palpable, especially after a tough previous game where he conceded many runs.
