Delhi Capitals Reclaim IPL 2025 Top Spot After Super Over Win Over Rajasthan Royals

The Delhi Capitals (DC) reclaimed the top spot in the IPL 2025 points table after a dramatic Super Over victory against Rajasthan Royals (RR), marking their fifth win in six matches. Mitchell Starc's exceptional bowling proved pivotal, first forcing the Super Over by restricting RR to a tie and then conceding only 11 runs in the decider, which KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs chased down with two balls to spare. Despite a strong start from Yashasvi Jaiswal and an early partnership with Sanju Samson, RR's momentum waned after Samson retired hurt and Delhi's spinners tightened control. The Orange Cap is currently led by Lucknow Super Giants' Nicholas Pooran, whose consistent power hitting has been key for his team, while Chennai Super Kings' Noor Ahmad tops the Purple Cap standings. Other notable batting contenders include Sai Sudharsan, SS Iyer, and Virat Kohli, each maintaining impressive form as the tournament progresses. The loss leaves Rajasthan Royals struggling in eighth place, while DC solidifies its position as a leading contender in this year’s IPL.
