CSK vs DC Live: CSK lose!!!
Chennai Super Kings have lost the game by 25 runs and with it, Delhi Capitals continue their winning run in IPL 2025. They have won three matches on the trot now. Superb start this is for the Axar Patel led side!
Shivam Dube is gone! He smashed Vipraj Nigam for a six on the first ball of the over but mistimed the next delivery and got out. Tristan Stubbs took the catch after running in to his right from long-on. Chennai Super Kings need 119 runs in 64 balls.
This is a poor delivery from Vipraj Nigam to a new batter Shivam Dube and the latter has taken good advantage of it. Dube slammed it through the sweeper cover for a four. A single and a dot ball followed it. 10 runs came off the over.
On fifth ball of the 3rd over, a fuller ball from Mitchell Starc hit Vijay Shankar on the front foot. There was an appeal for an LBW but DC were not that confident with it. As a result, they didn't review it. Later, replays revealed that the ball hit Shankar's toe and he was plumb.
Rachin Ravindra is OUT! Mukesh Kumar provides Delhi Capitals the first wicket. Ravindra edged the ball into the hands of Mukesh, who took a good catch on the follow through. CSK are one down in the second over and inside walks CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to bat at number 3.
18.3 - Mukesh Choudhary has dropped the catch of KL Rahul. How big a blunder this is going to be for CSK? KL Rahul hit it high in the air but Mukesh failed to take the catch. The ball popped out of his hands. MS Dhoni gave a stare to the bowler after the dropped catch.
Sameer Rizvi has slammed Noor Ahmad's final delivery over the long-on for a biggie. This turned out to be an expensive over from the star CSK spinner. A total of 17 runs came off the over. Noor has given away 36 runs in his three overs so far with just one wicket.
14.1 - This is a really good shot from KL Rahul. Noor Ahmad tried to bowl it away from Rahul but the right-handed batter still managed to fetch the fuller delivery from near the tramline and slammed it down the ground for a four.
12.2 - Ravindra Jadeja bowled it around good length but KL Rahul jumped out of his crease and slammed it down the ground for a six. This is brilliant batting from the DC opener. He is only two runs away from his fifty.
Axar Patel is gone! Noor Ahmad does the trick for CSK with a googly and continues his terrific form in IPL 2025. Axar went for a big hit and missed it completely. He departs for 21 off 14 balls. That is the end of a good cameo from the DC captain.
Axar Patel gets an outside edge as he tries to cut away the Noor Ahmad delivery. It goes very fine for a four. A dot ball follows and that is the end of the over. Nine runs came off Noor's first over. Delhi Capitals are placed well as they are scoring at 8.44 per over.
