IPL 2025 Pulse – Week #4

The Delhi Capitals, the only unbeaten team in this year's IPL, extended their winning run by defeating RCB by 6 wickets. RCB's dashing start failed to materialize into a big score, ending with 163. DC was in trouble at 58/4, but a rescue act from KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs saw the visitors chase the target down without any further hiccups.

KL Rahul's Masterclass

KL Rahul batted masterfully, scoring an unbeaten 93 off 53, rescuing his team and winning over the RCB faithfuls. He assessed the conditions that RCB have been struggling with this season, leaving a cue for the Rajat Patidar-led side.

Josh Hazlewood's Rare Off-Day

Josh Hazlewood, who has been instrumental to RCB's success, was bowled for just one over in the powerplay and had a rare off-day, conceding 0/40 off 3 overs.

DC's Wrist-Spinners Shine

DC's wrist-spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam, shared figures of 4/35, crippling RCB through the middle overs.

MS Dhoni Returns as CSK Captain

MS Dhoni has been handed the reins again, replacing Ruturaj Gaikwad who is ruled out for the rest of the season. CSK will hope that he can turnaround their disastrous campaign.

Chepauk Fortress Braces for Another Assault

The Knight Riders are hoping to be the third team to plunder the Chepauk fortress this season. CSK desperately need the fort to hold this time around.
