SRH vs DC 2025: A much-anticipated clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium ended in disappointment as rain ultimately washed out the game before a result could be achieved.
In what was expected to be a high-stakes encounter with playoff implications, SRH won the toss and chose to bowl first, looking to make early inroads into Delhi’s batting lineup.
<h2>SRH vs DC 2025: Match Summary</h2>
TOSS- SRH won the Toss and opted to bowl first.
Playing 11 of SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Sachin Baby, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga (Impact: Travis Head)
Playing 11 of DC: Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan (Impact: Ashutosh Sharma)
DC batted first, and they had a poor outing with the bat. SRH skipper Pat Cummins started up all guns blazing against Delhi's top order. He removed Karun Nair first ball, then got Faf in his second over, and Abhishek Porel in his third! Harshal Patel also gave equally good support and got the skipper Axar Patel's wicket, and all this within the batting powerplay. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6819008a51bd9.jpg" alt="">
With the wicket of KL Rahul, DC was half the side down for just 29 runs. Then, the impact players Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs contributed with a valiant partnership of 66 runs in the last 40 balls. This helped Delhi Capitals to post 133 runs on the board, but this was the Sunrisers' game with such a power-packed batting lineup. 
However, the weather god had different plans, and it started pouring down heavy rain. Just under a couple of minutes, the water started accumulating all around. The cut-off time was 11:20 pm, but the ground wasn't ready till then to play even a 5-over game! Hence, the match ended without a result. 
SRH have been eliminated. DC get a point and move into the odd-number points category on the table.

DC vs KKR 2025: There was some hold on the nerves by KKR in the death! A comeback of massive calibre by KKR against Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, New Delhi, where the visitors defeated the home team by 14 runs.
At one point, just before the death overs, DC were on top with a high winning percentage when they needed 75 off 42, but all it changed with a double wicket over from Varun Chakravarthy and a brilliant final over by Russell. 
KKR’s openers, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine, came out with guns blazing, setting up their highest opening stand of the season. Despite a mid-innings slowdown, young Angrish and the dependable Rinku Singh stitched a crucial 50-run partnership for the sixth wicket to push the total just past 200.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_68110d6ad4687.jpg" alt="">
Delhi bowlers, led by Axar Patel (2/27), showed late discipline, conceding only 45 runs in the last five overs and keeping KKR from completely running away with the game. 
The chase looked promising for Delhi, with Faf du Plessis anchoring the innings and Axar Patel striking at a fierce rate. At 136/3, the home side appeared to be in control until Sunil Narine spun the game on its head.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_68110d6e0f023.jpg" alt="">
In one magical over, Narine dismissed Axar, Faf, and Tristan Stubbs, turning a smooth chase into a collapse. His spell (3 wickets including the game-changers) proved to be the defining moment of the match and left DC gasping for momentum.
Vipraj Nigam’s late fireworks (38 off 19) gave DC a flicker of hope, but it was too little, too late. KKR’s bowlers, including Varun Chakravarthy and Russell, closed out the innings with sharp, pressure-filled overs.
With this vital win, KKR not only stood alive for playoff contention but also delivered a heavy blow to Delhi’s home record, handing them their third loss in four matches at their fortress. It was Narine’s night, both as a player and a leader.

DC vs RCB 2025: In a high-stakes clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore held their nerve to outclass Delhi Capitals by a convincing margin. Chasing 163 for victory, RCB overcame early setbacks to register their seventh win of the season and strengthen their position in the playoff race.
On a surface that offered something for both bowlers and batters, the match swung back and forth before the visitors eventually sealed the deal with an over to spare.
<h2>DC vs RCB Match Summary</h2>
It was a gripping evening in Delhi as Delhi Capitals, sent in to bat, began with a flurry through the fearless Abishek Porel, who looked in fine touch despite Faf du Plessis' early struggles at the other end. Just when momentum was building, a soft tickle down the leg side ended Porel’s promising stay, sparking a collapse. 
Karun Nair’s mistimed heave against Yash Dayal deepened the wounds. As the powerplay ended, spin took over — Suyash Prabhudessai and Krunal Pandya bowled with guile, tightening the noose and dismissing Faf, who never quite found his flow. KL Rahul and Axar Patel tried to lift the innings but fell in the attempt, as the spinners choked runs and created pressure. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_680e6bdee17e0.jpg" alt="">
Bhuvneshwar Kumar then stepped up in style, delivering a hammer blow with two wickets in a superb third over. Just when it seemed DC might sink without a fight, Tristan Stubbs unleashed a late assault, giving the innings much-needed thrust in the death overs. Yet Bhuvi’s tidy finish ensured RCB walked off with the upper hand, restricting DC to 162/8 — a total that felt both short and hard-earned on a surface offering some help.
Records and Stats:
<ul data-start="1309" data-end="2271">
<li data-start="1309" data-end="1500" class="">
Delhi Capitals' total of 162/8 was their lowest first-innings score of IPL 2025 and the lowest first-innings total at Delhi across the last eight IPL matches played since 2024.
</li>
<li data-start="1501" data-end="1653" class="">
KL Rahul continues to shine against RCB with an astonishing batting average of 71.09 (782 runs) — second only to his average against MI (74.23).
</li>
<li data-start="1654" data-end="1818" class="">
RCB’s pacers were the real difference-makers, combining for 6 wickets for 111 runs across 12 overs, while the spinners conceded just 50 runs in 8 overs.
</li>
<li data-start="1819" data-end="1947" class="">
Bhuvneshwar Kumar climbed to 193 IPL wickets, moving closer to the elite 200-club led by Yuzvendra Chahal (214 wickets).

<li data-start="2128" data-end="2271" class="">
The RCB seamers found success mostly with good and short lengths, sharing 5 wickets between them at economical rates on a tricky surface.
</li>
</ul>
Set a modest target of 163, RCB’s innings began in shambles, losing three wickets inside the first four overs and plunging into early chaos. On a night demanding resilience, it was Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya who dug deep, steadying the ship with grit and determination.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_680e6bd96927a.jpg" alt="">
Timing the ball seemed like a lost art early on, but Kohli’s calm presence allowed Pandya to settle. As the innings matured, Krunal found his rhythm, unleashing a match-defining 73* off 47 balls, while Kohli played the perfect anchor with a patient 51 from 47 deliveries. Just when it seemed destined for a tense finish, Tim David arrived with a flurry of boundaries, wrapping up the game earlier than expected.
Some fielding lapses and tactical errors under pressure from skipper Axar Patel only hastened DC’s fall. In the end, RCB crossed the line comfortably in the 19th over, sealing their seventh win of the season and leaving Delhi Capitals to rue what might have been on a pitch that demanded just a few more runs.
Records and Stats:
<ul data-start="1205" data-end="2094">
<li data-start="1205" data-end="1419" class="">

<li data-start="1420" data-end="1584" class="">
Kohli’s consistency while chasing in IPL 2025 remains remarkable: 59 (36)* vs KKR, 62 (45)* vs RR, 73 (54)* vs PBKS, and now 51 (47) against DC.
</li>
<li data-start="1585" data-end="1747" class="">

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant has been in the news since the time the match against the Delhi Capitals started. The two teams clashed with each other on Tuesday (22nd April) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. 
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant had a poor game against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Under his leadership, the team faced a disappointing 8-wicket loss against the Axar Patel-led side and they faced their 5th loss in the league. 
One of the things that caught the attention of many was the batting position of Rishabh Pant against the Delhi Capitals. The keeper-batter walked out to bat at number 7 and in the last over. The team management promoted Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad and David Miller ahead of him. 
He couldn't make an impact as he was back in the hut after a two-ball duck. After he got out, he was extremely angry. Even before that, he was seen having an animated chat with the mentor of the team Zaheer Khan and seemed to be unhappy with something. 
Amid all this, Harbhajan Singh said that Rishabh Pant batting at number seven is beyond his understanding. He pointed out how the keeper-batter was furious and wasn't happy with something. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he said:
"Why did Rishabh Pant bat at No. 7? It's beyond my thinking. Let's try to solve it. Is Rishabh Pant batting at No. 7 justified? Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni batted ahead of him. Whose decision was it? It was either the team management's or Pant's. Pant however was furious. He was angry. Seemed as if he was told something because of which he wasn't happy. His mood was off too," 
<h2>How can a team win if its captain is unhappy - Harbhajan Singh </h2>
Harbhajan Singh also added that discussions made Rishabh Pant unhappy. He questioned the Lucknow Super Giants management, saying that if a captain of the team is unhappy team won't win. He said: 
"This is my opinion. Some discussion took place about Rishabh Pant, which probably made him upset. We know Pant well. He is a good kid, who respects elders and seniors. But is it right? If Pant is struggling for form, would you demote him at No. 7? He is your captain. You send him at the toss. I didn't like it. How can a team win if its captain is unhappy."

The drop chances will be crucial during crunch games going ahead."
