IPL 2026: 'Clarity And Confidence Have Brought The Best Out Of Anukul Roy,' Says Deep Dasgupta
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta believes Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Anukul Roy has flourished in this IPL season because of the consistent backing from the team management, and growing confidence from strong domestic performances.
Roy played a crucial role in KKR’s comprehensive eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, returning figures of 2-31 in four overs as the visitors registered their fourth straight victory of IPL 2026.
The left-arm spinner triggered Delhi’s middle-order collapse by dismissing Pathum Nissanka immediately after the batter had reached his half-century and then castling Tristan Stubbs two balls later. His spell, along with tight bowling from Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy, restricted DC to 142/8 before Finn Allen’s unbeaten 47-ball century sealed an easy chase for KKR.
