CSK vs RCB: The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) got started off on a thrilling note as the opening game was a Southern derby between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. This was also the first match of Ruturaj Gaikwad as a captain in the IPL and he ended the game with a smile as Chennai defeated the Faf Du Plessis-led RCB by six wickets.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="csk-vs-rcb-match-highlights">CSK vs RCB Match Highlights</h2>



Faf Du Plessis won the toss and instantly chose to bat first, as he wanted to set a challenging total against the home side. The RCB skipper walked out to the crease with a positive mindset and tried to set the tone of the game at the ground where he has played the majority of his IPL career matches. He smashed eight fours during his knock of 35 runs in 23 deliveries in the first six overs. Faf went berserk in the second over of Deepak Chahar as he smashed 17 runs against him.

The RCB skipper didn't spare Tushar Deshpande either, but then new CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad introduced new signing Mustafizur Rahman into the attack and his introduction completely changed the complexion of the CSK RCB match. Faf tried to go after the Fiz as well but he was caught at sweeper cover and the Bangladeshi seamer also sent Rajat Patidar (0 runs in 3 balls) back to the Pavillion for a three-ball duck.



Deepak Chahar dismissed Glenn Maxwell for a first ball duck, which turned the game in the favour of CSK as Bengaluru lost their top three in the first six overs. Virat Kohli tried to revive the RCB innings with&nbsp;Cameron&nbsp;Green



Maheesh Theekshana and Ravindra Jadeja kept the duo under check and eventually Kohli was dismissed by the Fizz just when he got his eye in.



Mustifizur got the better of Cameron Green as well, and RCB were left in a really difficult spot with a score of 76-5. Then the duo of Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik steadied the sinking ship of RCB as they stitched a 90-run stand, which allowed RCB to post a decent total of 173 runs&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;board.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



Tushar Desphande was hammered for 25 runs in the 18th over by the duo of Anuj and Karthik, but the former got dismissed on the final ball of the inning for 48 runs in search of an extra run. DK played a brilliant knock of 38 runs in 25 balls, and their partnership took RCB to 173-6 in&nbsp;their&nbsp;20&nbsp;overs.



It turned out to be an easy chase for CSK despite facing some issues in the middle overs. Jadeja played a good knock of 25 runs in 17 balls, which steadied the ship of CSK as the RCB bowlers were troubling the CSK middle order with a plethora of short-pitched deliveries. Jadeja and Shivam Dube ensured that CSK chased down the target of 174 runs without any issues in&nbsp;the&nbsp;19th&nbsp;over.



The RCB bowlers had to get some early wickets if they wanted to stay alive in the game. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad walked out to open the innings for Chennai with Rachin Ravindra and both of them looked in good form but it was Rachin who made a statement in his debut IPL game. He hammered the RCB bowlers to all parts of the ground while Ruturaj struggled against the swing movement&nbsp;of&nbsp;Yash&nbsp;Dayal.

Ajinkya Rahane continued from where he left in the previous season as he played a good knock of 27 runs in 19 balls which included two sixes. Daryl Mitchell also played a good cameo of 22 runs before Cameron Green dismissed him with the short ball tactic.



Post the dismissal of Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube came in as an impact substitute but struggled against the short pitched balls of the RCB bowling unit. With four batters back in the Pavillion, RCB could have sealed the game but Jadeja had some other plans and ensured that CSK chased the target without losing any?more?wickets.

[Today] CSK on Top: Check the updated TATA IPL 2024 Points Table

today-csk-on-top-check-the-updated-tata-ipl-2024-points-table

TATA IPL Points Table: Rajasthan Royals (RR) registered their second consecutive win of the season after they defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 12 runs in match 09 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. With the second win, RR continues to remain in the upper half of the TATA IPL Points Table.



Rajasthan Royals (RR) were put to bat first by Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) on a slightly difficult pitch that had something for the bowlers, unlike what we saw in the last match between MI and SRH. The surface aided the pacers initially and then it looked a tad difficult to bat on when the spinners charged in.



The Royals were pushed into the backfoot right from the start of the innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and skipper Sanju Samson couldn't help themselves with big scores tonight as all of them struggled to get going. RR looked in an awkward position in the first 10 overs, where they could only score 57 runs and lost three big wickets.



However, somehow Riyan Parag and R Ashwin, who got a promotion, steadied the innings. Ashwin played a crucial part with his 19 balls 29 runs knock followed by Dhruv Jurel's 20-run handy knock in 12 deliveries. Both the batters helped Riyan Parag settle in the middle before he exploded in the death overs. 



Riyan Parag singlehandedly took RR's total to 185 runs in 20 overs with his lion's share contribution of unbeaten 84 runs in 45 deliveries. On the surface where everyone looked a bit uncomfortable and scratchy, Riyan Parag went on to smoke six maximums to go with seven fours in his magnificent innings. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/Riyan-Parag-IPL-1024x683.jpg" alt="TATA IPL Points Table Latest Updated after RR vs DC [29 March]| IPL 2024 Points Table| Indian Premier League" class="wp-image-128678" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Riyan Parag scored an unbeaten 84 runs innings against Delhi Capitals in the match 09 of TATA IPL 2024 | Image: <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPLT20</a></figcaption></figure>



While initially, it looked Delhi's game, owing to their brilliant bowling exhibition, the momentum moved towards the home side as the first innings came to an end. 



Delhi Capitals had a big score in front of them on a bit of a troubling surface, however, they kickstarted their hunt with a bang. Mitch Marsh set the tempo for the innings with his onslaught against Nandre Burger and Trent Boult in the second and third overs. The Aussie amassed 13 and 14 runs respectively in the two overs. 



However, his mojo was short-lived after Nandre Burger knocked him over in his second over of the innings. In the fourth ball of the same over, Burger went on to trap Ricky Bhui as well and suddenly, DC were in a crunch situation.



David Warner and Rishabh Pant brought the innings back onto the track, but they too couldn't stay till the end. Warner was dismissed one run shy of his well-deserved half-century while Yuzvendra Chahal got rid of Rishabh Pant.



Though the dismissals of Warner and Pant turned the game in its head, Axar Patel and Tristin Stubbs did exceedingly well to take it deep. Stubbs, especially, played a magnificent innings, but unfortunately, couldn't take his side home. DC required 17 runs off the final over and they could only get five of those and lost the game by 12 runs.



The defeat meant that they stayed in the bottom half of the TATA IPL Points Table with no win in two matches. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals (RR) took the second spot in the latest standings. 



Let's take a look at the TATA IPL Points Table Latest Updated after RR vs DC [29 March].

Latest Points Table IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) moves out of their den and begins with a defeat as Delhi Capitals (DC) registers their maiden win of the season in TATA IPL 2024. Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) won the battle against CSK by 20 runs in the final over after scoring 191 runs. The win brings along two points for Delhi Capitals as they open their account in the Points Table IPL 2024.



MS Dhoni, once again, "finishes off in style," but unlike the 2011 World Cup final, his team has ended up on the losing side. The veteran batter slammed an unbeaten 16-ball 37 which included four boundaries and three sixes, but couldn't take his side home in Vishakhapatnam. 



CSK required 45 runs off the last two overs with MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle. Mukesh Kumar bowled a brilliant 19th over, which made the game done and dusted for CSK. The pacer gave away just 5 runs in the penultimate over to end CSK's hopes of making three wins in a row.



Though CSK's defeat was confirmed, Dhoni had some plans to entertain his fans. He launched an attack on Anrich Nortje in the final over and smocked two sixes and as many fours, which included a last-ball sixer.



Ajinkya Rahane, earlier in the innings, scored a brilliant 30-ball 45 runs to bail out CSK from a crunch situation after the fall of two openers cheaply. Rahane was aided by Daryl Mitchell (34 runs off 26) and Shivam Dube (18 runs off 17) during the innings.



Delhi Capitals (DC) got a solid start to their innings with both their openers playing a big part. Prithvi Shaw scored 43 runs in 27 deliveries, while David Warner returned after scoring his half-century. 



The fantastic knocks by the openers was supplemented by Rishabh Pant's captain's knock. What better occasion to announce your arrival than a game against CSK? Pant scored a sensational half-century which saw him tonk three sixes and four boundaries. Despite a few moments of hiccups, Delhi managed to pile up 191 runs in 20 overs.



For CSK, pacer Matheesh Pathirana remained the pick of the bowlers as he scalped three wickets, which included two searing yorkers to remove Mitchell Marsh and Tristin Stubbs in the same over.

In what proved to be a really exciting and thrilling encounter, IPL 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals took on five-time winners Mumbai Indians in the 14th match of IPL 2024. This match was Mumbai?s first game at Mumbai at their home ground Wankhede Stadium but they failed to live up to the expectations of the fans as the Hardik Pandya led team were handed their third consecutive defeat in IPL 2024 by six wickets by Rajasthan Royals.



RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and immediately asked the home team to bat first and the Mumbai Indians batting unit was completely destroyed by the duo of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger. A lot of seam and swing was available on the surface and the duo took full advantage of the conditions as they just outsmarted the Mi batting unit with their variations. Trent Boult (3-22) dismissed MI?s former skipper Rohit Sharma for a first ball duck on the fifth delivery of the first over and immediately after the dismissal of Rohit, Naman Dhir got out for a golden duck as well as Trent Boult caught Dhir plumb in front of the wickets. He didn't stop there as on the second ball of the second overs of the match, the former MI Speedster got the better of impact player Dewald Brevis and he got out for a first ball duck as well.



Opener Ishan Kishan (16 runs in 14 balls) tried to attack the RR pacers and punished every ball which came in his preferred slot but he was getting troubled by the variations of Proteas Seamer Nandre Burger (2-32)and eventually Kishan perished to Burger as he nicked one behind off his bowling.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/IPL-2024-Rajasthan-Royals-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: Mumbai Lost Again as Rajasthan Royals won by 6 wickets at Wankhede | MI vs RR Match Highlights" class="wp-image-128961" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Image Credit: X.com(@IPL)</figcaption></figure>



Skipper Hardik Pandya (34 runs in 21 balls) walked out to stabilize things for MI and got involved in a partnership with Tilkar Verma (32 runs in 29 balls) but Samson was quick to react to it as he introduced the spin duo of Yuzi Chahal (3-11) and Ravichandran Ashwin into the attack in-order to counter the threat of the MI duo of Hardik and Tilak and Yuzi provided the breakthrough as he sent Hardik back to the pavilion.



Piyush Chawla got a promotion over Tim David but Avesh Khan got the better of him. Aussie batter Tim David tried to play out the middle overs and he did as well but he wasn't able to capitalize on the death overs as MI were restricted to a poor total of 125 runs in their 20 overs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/IPL-2024-Akash-Madhwal-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128963" /></figure>



The Mumbai Indians bowling unit, especially Akash Madhwal, tried their best to pull off a miracle against RR but the target of 126 runs proved to be too less. The visitors faced some issues against the resilience of the Mumbai bowling unit but a partnership was all RR needed to reach home and that was exactly what Riyan Parag do as he stitched a partnership with Ashwin and guided the Royals in a safe spot and then alongside impact player Shubham Dubey, Parag led the men&nbsp;in&nbsp;pink&nbsp;home.

IPL 2024 Updated Points Table: In what promised to be a really fun and fascinating game to watch, 2020 runners up Delhi Capitals took on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 26th game of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium and the visitors won the match comfortably by six wickets and registered their second win of the season.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Delhi Capitals beats Lucknow Super Giants by 6 Wicket</h4>

LSG skipper KL Rahul won the toss and asked the Capitals to bowl first as Lucknow wanted to take advantage of their home conditions. But, the home side suffered a middle order collapse as no batter except KL Rahul (39 runs in 22 balls), Ayush Badoni (55 runs in 35 balls) and Quinton De Kock (19 runs in 13 balls) made a major contribution with the bat.



Badoni?s brilliant knock helped LSG post a decent total of 167-7 on the board in 20 overs against DC. At one point in the game, the home team were struggling at 96-7 but Ayush Badoni showed retaliation with his dynamic strokes as smashed one six and five fours in his Unbeaten inning of 55 runs. He got involved in an important partnership of 73 runs and helped LSG go past the&nbsp;160&nbsp;runs&nbsp;mark.



After missing three back to back games due to a groin injury, Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav took a brilliant three wicket hall and ended the game with figures of 3-20 in his four overs. Other than Kuldeep, the likes of Ishant Sharma (1-36), Khaleel Ahmed (2-41) and Mukesh Kumar (1-41) picked up some crucial wickets as well.



Delhi were asked to chase 168 runs and their opening duo of Prithvi Shaw and David Warner got involved in an opening partnership of 24 runs before seamer Yash Thakur provided the breakthrough by dismissing the latter in the fourth over. Prithvi then alongside Jake Fraser Mcgurk helped their team to score 62-1 in the first six overs but leggie Ravi Bishnoi dismissed Prithvi in the seventh over of the DC inning.



Post the dismissal of Prithvi Shaw, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant arrived at the crease and he stitched a brilliant partnership of 77 runs for the fourth wicket which turned the game in the favor of the IPL 2020 runners-up. Jake scored 55 runs in 35 balls before Naveen - ul - Haq dismissed him in the 15th over of the DC inning. Bishnoi sent Pant back to the pavilion in the next over as he scored 41 runs in 21 balls.

ipl-2024-updated-points-table-delhi-capitals-beats-lucknow-super-giants-by-6-wicket

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.

Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.

As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.
<h2>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</h2>
KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.
However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.
<h2>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</h2>
On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt="">
Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.
Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.
<h2>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</h2>
Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt="">
Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.
<h2>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</h2>
Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.
One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.
Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.
Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.

Can Delhi Capitals win IPL 2025? KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?
