DC vs KKR LIVE: Happy Birthday, Andre Russell!

DC vs KKR LIVE: Delhi’s unsung hero?

A consistent yet underrated performer for Delhi Capitals over 2024 and 2025 has been South African Tristan Stubbs. Whether it it to score runs in the middle overs, bail the team out of trouble or smash at the death, Stubbs has done his job superbly.

DC vs KKR LIVE: KL Rahul under pressure?

While KL Rahul started off the season in a rich vein of form, questions over his strike-rate have begun to crop up, particularly after he scored 41 off 39 in DC’s defeat to RCB in their previous match. So far in IPL 2025, Rahul has scored 364 runs in 8 games at a strike rate of 146.

DC vs KKR LIVE: What is the H2H record?

DC vs KKR LIVE: KKR’s middle order off form

Kolkata Knight Riders’ expensive middle-order has failed to fire on a consistent basis in IPL 2025. Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell cost the franchise a combined Rs 48.75 crore, but have not won many matches for KKR this season and failed to live up to their on-paper might.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Can Andre Russell fire?

The misuse of Andre Russell’s all-round abilities has been a big talking point of KKR’s IPL 2025, but he was given 3 overs with the ball in the washed out game against PBKS last time out. Can the big Jamaican step up again today and win a match for the men in purple for the first time this year?

DC vs KKR LIVE: L, L, NR

Loss, Loss, No Result – These are the results for KKR in their last 3 matches, and it has put them on the verge of elimination from the playoff race. With the top 4 teams on 12 poins and the top 6 on 10, KKR (7 points) need a victory today to stay in touching distance and keep realistic playoff hopes alive.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Penultimate home game for Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals are playing their second-last match at home today in IPL 2025, and they’ll hope to give their fans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium something to cheer about. DC have so far won just one match in Delhi this year, and that too a Super Over clash against Rajasthan Royals.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Discontent dressing room

With captaincy dilemma, two defeats in three matches, just 3 wins all season, players being underutilised, and now these, the KKR camp does not paint a happy image. What we cannot forget is that they are the defending champions, and have the capability to win games at will if they’re firing on all cylinders.

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: Harshit on Gambhir

Further fuel to the fire has been added by KKR pacer Harshit Rana stating to the media that he misses the “thrill” that was provided by Gautam Gambhir in the KKR dressing room. “You also know that Gambhir has an aura, the way he comes and takes the team along,” Rana has said.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Tension in KKR camp?

DC vs KKR LIVE: Delhi Capitals in topsy-turvy form

Led by Axar Patel, Delhi Capitals had a great start to the season, winning their first 4 games. However, they’ve hit a bit of an inconsistent patch, losing 3 of their next 5. A win today, however, could see them soar up to top spot in the points table.

DC vs KKR LIVE: A word on Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Before we enter discussion for today’s match, let’s just rewind about yesterday’s game once. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14 years old, making IPL 2025 his personal playground. A breathtaking, record-shattering innings of 101 off 38 balls, something that has left the cricket world in awe and disbelief.
