IPL 2025, DC vs RR Live Score: KL Rahul Falls After 50-Run Stand With Abishek Porel
IPL 2025, DC vs RR Live Score: Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has won the toss and opted to field first against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium tonight. Both teams are unchanged.
Jake Fraser-McGurk fell to Jofra Archer after initially looking good at the crease. Abhishek Porel tore Tushar Deshpande apart. Karun Nair was run out by Sandeep Sharma, promting KL Rahul to walk out. The pair rebuilt the inning with a 44-ball 50-run stand.
DC are no longer unbeaten. They suffered this season’s first defeat after a dramatic collapse against Mumbai Indians. The Axar Patel-led side will hope for an improved show from their middle-order batters as they host an inconsistent RR.
Playing in their first home match of IPL 2025 in the national capital, on current form, DC were expected to beat MI but thanks to a middle-order collapse followed by a hat-trick of run outs, the brilliant 40-ball 89 from Karun Nair went in vain as the hosts failed to chase down 206.
Like DC, RR also endured a defeat in their first home game of the season in Jaipur. Royal Challengers Bengaluru gave them a royal thrashing with the visitors winning by 9 wickets. RR have now lost four of their six matches so far.
