IPL 2025: DC continue unbeaten run with 25-run victory over CSK

Delhi Capitals won against Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk for the first time since 2010. The visitors registered a comfortable 25-run win after posting 183/6 in 20 overs.

Opting to bat first, DC were led by KL Rahul's 77 runs off 51 balls, which included six fours and three sixes. He was supported by Abhishek Porel, who scored 33 runs off 20 balls, while Tristan Stubbs gave the finishing touches with an unbeaten 24 off 12 balls.

For CSK, Khaleel Ahmed picked up two wickets and was excellent with the new ball. Matheesh Pathirana bowled a superb spell in the death to restrict DC under 200.


The home team never looked to be in the chase as they were reduced to 41/3 inside the powerplay. Vijay Shankar scored an unbeaten 69 runs but his runs came off 54 balls, which proved to be too slow in the end. MS Dhoni scored 30 not out off 26 balls as CSK did not show any intent to win the match after losing a few wickets upfront.

DC now have three wins in as many matches and top the table, while CSK find themselves in a spot of bother with just one win in four matches, placing them eighth among the 10 teams.

CSK next face Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on April 8, while DC will play Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Bengaluru on April 10.
