Chennai Super Kings need 184 runs to win the match against Delhi Capitals today and earn two crucial points on IPL 2025 teams' leaderboard

KL Rahul mixed his trademark elegance with brute force during a 51-ball 77 as Delhi Capitals (DC) posted 183 for six against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 17 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.

 

Rahul struck six fours and three sixes to anchor DC's innings after they opted to bat first.

The Capitals suffered a jolt at the start of their innings thanks to an excellent first over from Khaleel Ahmed (2/25), who had big-hitting opener Jake Fraser-McGurk caught after putting him under pressure with four dot balls.

 

Credit to Khaleel for plotting Fraser-McGurk's dismissal by banging the ball on the good length instead of allowing him to play in the 'V', something the young Australian is good at. 

 

Notwithstanding the early jitter, DC managed to score 51 runs in the power play and that was largely because of the enterprise shown by Abhishek Porel (33 off 20 balls), who collected 19 runs from left-arm fast-medium bowler Mukesh Choudhary's first over.

 

Playing this game in place of Rahul Tripathi, Choudhary struggled to get his length right and was bowling either too full of too short, and Porel took full advantage of some wayward bowling.

 

Khaleel returned to bowl another fine over and Choudhary too did much better in his second over.

 

KL Rahul broke the shackles with a six over deep square leg off Khaleel before CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad introduced spin in the form of the seasoned Ravichandran Ashwin in the sixth over, hoping for a wicket.

 

The much-needed breakthrough, however, came in the next over as Porel ended up giving an easy catch to Matheesha Pathirana after driving Ravindra Jadeja uppishly in the left-arm spinner's first over.

 

It was a soft dismissal, and Porel would be frustrated with it as he was looking good for a big one after having settled down nicely at Chepauk.

 

Axar Patel began his innings with a six over long-on off Jadeja but, like Porel, the DC skipper too got out after getting his eye in, for a 14-ball 21.

 

On either side of Axar's dismissal, Rahul struck two sixes off Noor Ahmad and Jadeja respectively, before reaching his 38th IPL fifty off 33 balls.

 

Rahul found an able ally in Sameer Rizvi (20 off 15 balls) as the duo added 56 runs for the fourth wicket in quick time.

  Earlier, Delhi won the toss and chose to bat first against Chennai.  

"We are going to bat first. Feels like there’ll be help for the bowlers. Expect it to get slower as the game progresses. In our team, we have a few players who have captained other franchises and that helps me a lot. Same combination. Faf is not fit for this game, Sameer Rizvi is playing,” said Axar at the toss.

 

Ruturaj confirms elbow recovery

 

Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stated that CSK would have liked to bat first too. He noted that the team is focused on improving its fielding and maintaining a positive mindset throughout the tournament.

 

"We were looking to bat as well. Looks a bit dry. It’s a bit cloudy, won’t change much. You always want momentum in T20 cricket. Overall, the chat has been positive. Fielding is something which we can improve day by day. We want to be proactive. Elbow is good. Conway comes in for Overton. Mukesh comes in from Tripathi," said Gaikwad.
