Aggression found two distinct tenors at the Eden Gardens yesterday. If Andre Russell muscled to a 21-ball 45 to take Kolkata Knight Riders to a challenging 178 for seven, Shikhar Dhawan took over after the interval with an innings that was mostly about caressing the ball between fielders as he guided the Sourav Ganguly-mentored Delhi Capitals to their second win over the Knights this season.

Dhawan was unbeaten on 97 when the visitors crossed the line with seven wickets and seven deliveries to spare. It came off 63 balls, 11 boundaries and a couple of sixes.
