Sun Mar 30 16:18:46 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Capitals Thrill Visakhapatnam Crowd in IPL Victory Over Sunrisers Hyderabad

**Visakhapatnam, March 30, 2025** – The Delhi Capitals (DC) delivered a thrilling victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a high-octane Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Dr YSR ACA VDCA Stadium on Sunday. A packed stadium, filled with an even mix of DC and SRH supporters, witnessed a captivating display of cricket.

Australian pacer Mitchell Starc stole the show for DC, claiming a five-wicket haul and dismantling the SRH batting lineup. Despite a powerful 74-run knock from SRH’s new recruit Aniket Verma, SRH’s top batsmen, including Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma, underperformed, leaving fans disappointed. Even local favorite Nitish Kumar Reddy failed to impress in his home debut.

DC’s vice-captain, Faf du Plessis, provided a counterpoint with a fearless half-century in the powerplay, setting the tone for a dominant DC innings. The partnership between du Plessis and Jack Fraser further energized the crowd. KL Rahul, despite a brief innings, also contributed impactful boundaries.

Following the main match, a “Super Six Challenge” added to the excitement, showcasing the power-hitting prowess of Aniket Verma (92-meter six) and SRH’s Abhinav Manohar (93-meter six).

The match was attended by several VIPs, including ICC chairman Jay Shah, IT Minister Nara Lokesh, and Union Minister K. Rammohan Naidu. Heavy police presence managed traffic flow amidst the VVIP movement.

Fans expressed mixed reactions. While some were disappointed with SRH’s batting performance, many praised Starc’s bowling and the overall exciting match. The atmosphere was electric, with fans enthusiastically celebrating both the main match and the subsequent Super Six Challenge.
