This was reported in ibnlive.com dated 10 April 2016.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and opted to field - but, Delhi Daredevils, mentored by Rahul David and captained by Zaheer Khan failed to impress. They could score only 98 runs and KKR overhauled that in 14.1 overs. Andre Russell (3 for 24) and 45-year-old Brad Hogg (3 for 19) did the damage and were the star bowlers of KKR.
For KKR, openers skipper Gautam Gambhir (38 not out) and Robin Uthappa (35) shared a brisk 69-run stand to score their first win in IPL9.
