Delhi Capitals 8 wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants

Delhi Capitals snapped their inconsistent IPL 2025 run with a commanding eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow. After losses to Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, and a Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals, DC finally found rhythm. The spotlight was on KL Rahul, playing against his former side, and he rose to the occasion in style. Rahul anchored the chase with an unbeaten 57 off 42 balls, showcasing elegance and control. 

His knock not only silenced doubters of his T20 prowess but also saw him reach a significant milestone — 5000 IPL runs. He became the fastest Indian and second-fastest overall to achieve the feat, taking just 130 innings. Rahul surpassed Virat Kohli (157), AB de Villiers (161), and Shikhar Dhawan (168), trailing only David Warner (135). It was a night of redemption and records for the classy right-hander.
