KL Rahul ka Magic, Chepauk Mein Chhaya Dilli Ka Dum
April 5 ko MA Chidambaram Stadium mein hua IPL 2025 ka match 17, jahan Delhi Capitals ne Chennai Super Kings ko unke hi ghar mein 25 runs se hara diya. Toss jeetkar Axar Patel ne batting ka decision liya — aur wahaan se shuru hua KL Rahul ka magic!
Rahul ne kiya Chepauk ko silent!
KL Rahul ne 51 balls mein 77 runs thok daale, jis mein 6 boundaries aur 3 chhakkay the. Unki classy yet powerful innings ne DC ko 183/6 tak pahucha diya. Tristan Stubbs ne bhi end mein ek solid cameo khela — 12 balls par 24 not out — jabki Matheesha Pathirana ne death overs mein bowling ka masterclass diya aur DC ko 200 se rok diya.
CSK ki batting hui flop show
Target chase karte waqt, CSK ka top-order bilkul bikhad gaya. Pehle 6 overs ke andar unhone apne 3 key wickets kho diye. Vijay Shankar ne zarur fightback kiya with 69 off 54 balls, lekin unka strike rate tha sirf 127.78 — jo chase ke liye kaafi nahi tha.
MS Dhoni ne koshish zarur ki, lekin 30*(26) ke score ke bawajood match CSK ke haath se nikal gaya. DC ke bowlers — especially Khaleel Ahmed (2/25) — ne pressure banake rakha, aur CSK kabhi bhi free-flow mein score nahi kar paayi.
CSK ki season-long struggle jari
Ye match sirf ek loss nahi tha — ye unki is season ki weakness ko expose kar gaya. Batting mein intent ki kami, aur chase mein dar dikhayi diya. Chepauk ka fortress is baar DC ke storm ke saamne tik nahi paya.
Final Score:
DC: 183/6 (KL Rahul 77, Stubbs 24*, Pathirana 1/31)
CSK: 158/5 (Vijay Shankar 69, MS Dhoni 30*, Khaleel Ahmed 2/25)
Agla match aur zyada crucial hone wala hai dono teams ke liye — kya CSK bounce back kar paayegi? Ya phir DC ka momentum unstoppable ban jayega? IPL 2025 ka drama abhi shuru hua hai doston!
