Delhi Capitals Secure Historic Win at Chepauk

KL Rahul played a pivotal role in Delhi Capitals' 25-run victory over Chennai Super Kings, marking a historic first win at Chepauk in 15 years for Delhi. Rahul's aggressive 77 off 51 balls set the tone for Delhi's total of 183/6, aided by contributions from Abishek Porel, Sameer Rizvi, and Tristan Stubbs. Despite CSK's early wickets, Vijay Shankar's unbeaten 69 and MS Dhoni's 30 not out were not enough to chase down the target, as CSK finished at 158/5. The victory secured Delhi Capitals’ third consecutive win in IPL 2025, placing them at the top of the points table. The loss continued CSK's worrying trend of underperformance at home, with questions raised about their batting order. This match highlighted the evolving strategies in T20 cricket, with Rahul's transformation into a more aggressive player being a key factor in Delhi's success.
