Delhi Capitals took the latest game in the DC vs KKR head to head, a 40-run win in Kolkata on 24 May 2026, but the overall record still belongs to Kolkata Knight Riders. Since 13 May 2008 there have been 36 IPL meetings: KKR 20 wins, Delhi 15, and one 2019 tie.
Delhi’s figures include the seasons played as Delhi Daredevils, the name used until 2018.
Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders stats by season
Kolkata’s lead was not built in one burst. They won every meeting in 2015, 2017 and 2024, took the single games of 2008, 2011 and 2025, and took two out of three in 2012 and again in 2021. Delhi’s clean sweeps came in 2009 and 2022.
Many seasons were simply shared. Seven seasons, the first in 2010 and the latest in 2026, ended all square, which is why KKR’s lead has built up slowly.
The most recent stretch shows the swing. Delhi won three in a row across 2022 and 2023. Kolkata replied with three straight wins between Apr 2024 and Apr 2025, including the 106-run thrashing in Visakhapatnam. In 2026 the teams traded results: KKR won by 8 wickets in Delhi on 8 May, and Delhi hit back with the 40-run win in Kolkata on 24 May.
