Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) triumphed over Delhi Capitals (DC) by 14 runs in the 48th match of IPL 2025, held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Here are the standout moments from the electrifying DC vs KKR clash in IPL 2025:
Sunil Narine’s game-changing 14th over
By the start of the 14th over, DC were cruising at 130/3, seemingly on their way to victory. However, Sunil Narine, the seasoned campaigner, had other plans. Despite conceding a six off the first ball, Narine stepped up when it mattered most. He dismissed Axar Patel, who was in fine form, and then clean-bowled the dangerous Tristan Stubbs. This double strike proved to be the turning point of the match. Supported by Varun Chakaravarthy, who also claimed consecutive wickets, KKR’s spin duo tightened their grip on the game. Narine finished with impressive figures of 3/29, while Chakaravarthy ended with 2/39.
KKR’s explosive batting display
KKR set the tone early with a commanding batting performance. Their aggressive approach in the powerplay, where they racked up 79 runs, gave them a significant advantage. This was 15-20 runs more than what DC had anticipated, as highlighted by their captain Axar Patel after the match: “Considering the wicket and our bowling in the powerplay, we conceded 15-20 runs too many.” Almost every KKR batsman contributed, ensuring a formidable total that DC couldn’t chase down.
KL Rahul’s untimely run-out
KL Rahul, who has been in scintillating form this season, was poised to make an impact. However, his innings was cut short by a crucial run-out in the seventh over of DC’s chase. Scoring just seven runs, Rahul’s dismissal was a pivotal moment that tilted the game further in KKR’s favor.
