**New Delhi, April 29** – The Indian Premier League 2025 witnessed a thrilling encounter between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi today. Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Kolkata, batting first, posted a challenging 204/9 in their allotted 20 overs.

Other notable contributions for KKR came from Rahmanullah Gurbaz (26), Sunil Narine (27), and Ajinkya Rahane (26). For DC, Starc’s 3 wickets were complemented by 2 wickets each from Vipraj Nigam and Axar Patel, and a single wicket from Dushmantha Chameera.
