Kolkata's happy day in Delhi
DELHI DISAPPOINTS AGAIN: It was a huge disappointment for all the supporters of Delhi Daredevils, who watched their favourite team lose the third consecutive match on home ground, at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on Wednesday.
Despite the scorching heat and the traffic in the afternoon, spectators had managed to reach the stadium.
For Delhiites, the only interesting part was the Dilli da munda, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir's performance.

"The Delhi team is at the bottom of the rank in IPL this time. Issliye they have just given up," a DD supporter was heard commenting during the match.
ANGRY SPECTATORS, EMPTY SEATS: Much before the game ended, spectators displayed their disappointment and left the venue. Empty seats could be seen at the stadium, and the DD team was booed by the supporters.
Shefali, a DD fan, said, "Faltu ka time waste kiya yahaan aakar. Itni garmi mein, itne paise kharch karke, koi faayda nahi hua. Isse achha toh I'd have sat back at home and watched the match on TV. The IPL has lost its buzz this season for sure. There are two more matches scheduled to be held in Delhi, and I seriously wonder kaun aayega unhe dekhne."
Deblina, a KKR supporter, who took a day off to watch the match, said, "I paid double the ticket price to see Shah Rukh Khan. I later got to know that Shah Rukh hadn't even come to watch the match!"
CHEERS FROM THE CHEERLEADERS: However, one could see the DD and KKR cheerleaders happily posing for the cameras here. The KKR cheerleaders sported sparkling bindis and danced to Bollywood music. The Delhi team's official band also performed during the match.
