WATCH: Mitchell Marsh takes a sharp catch to dismiss last-match centurion Venkatesh Iyer on duck

NEW DELHI: What an irony for young Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer who scored a scintillating century in his previous match and on Thursday got out on duck against Delhi Capitals (DC) in an IPL match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

The incident happened in fourth over of the innings when Iyer tried to nudge a short and quick Anrich Nortje's delivery but it got a thick outside edge which flew away straight towards Mitchell Marsh who grabbed a sharp catch at a well-positioned solitary wide slip.

Iyer scored a 51-ball 104 in a losing cause against Mumbai Indians in KKR's last match while on Thursday he faced only two balls before being dismissed for a duck.

Earlier, DC captain David Warner won the toss and opted to bowl against KKR in the IPL match, which was delayed by an hour due to rain.
