In the IPL 2025 match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, KL Rahul delivered a stellar performance, scoring a magnificent 77 runs off 51 balls. His innings, laced with six boundaries and three sixes, played a pivotal role in helping DC post a competitive total of 183/6.
Rahul, opening the innings in the absence of Faf du Plessis, anchored the DC batting lineup. Despite losing his opening partner Jake Fraser-McGurk early, Rahul formed crucial partnerships with Abhishek Porel (33 off 20 balls) and skipper Axar Patel (21 off 14 balls). Later, Tristan Stubbs contributed with an unbeaten 24 off 12 balls, ensuring DC reached a strong total.
CSK’s bowlers, led by Khaleel Ahmed with figures of 2/25, tried to contain the DC batters. Ravindra Jadeja, Noor Ahmad, and Matheesha Pathirana each picked up a wicket, but Rahul’s composed innings kept the scoreboard ticking.
CSK now faces a target of 184 runs to win, with the pressure on their middle order to perform. The match is crucial for both teams, as DC aims to maintain their winning streak, while CSK looks to bounce back after consecutive losses. The stage is set for an exciting chase under the Chennai sun.
