IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 saw thrilling matche on April 5, showcasing outstanding performances from Delhi Capitals. Let’s dive into the match highlights and performances that stole the spotlight.
Delhi Capitals’ Victory over Chennai Super Kings
In a closely contested encounter, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious, defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 25 runs. Delhi posted a challenging total of 183/6 in their allotted 20 overs, which proved to be beyond CSK’s reach.
Despite a strong partnership of 84 runs between Vijay Shankar (69)* and *MS Dhoni (30)**, Chennai’s top order collapsed under the pressure. CSK lost three wickets within the first six overs, putting them on the backfoot right from the start. The failure to build partnerships and a flurry of early wickets made it difficult for Chennai to chase down the target.
Chennai’s coach, Stephen Fleming, admitted that the team struggled to find the right balance, especially with the restriction of selecting only four overseas players. This challenge has affected their team composition and, as a result, their performance in IPL 2025. This was CSK’s third straight loss in the season, and it is clear that they will need to rethink their strategies if they are to turn things around.
