Delhi Capitals registered their third successive victory of the campaign as they defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This was also the third successive loss for CSK in IPL 2025 as the five-time champions continue their struggles in the tournament. While they left their home fans disappointed with a poor show, they also managed to achieve a feat that was never achieved in 5209 days.

Delhi Capitals last won a match at the MA Chidambaram back in 15th April, 2010. Hence, this was their first win at the Chepauk after exactly 5209 days, which amounts to nearly 15 years. In that match, DC restricted CSK to 112/9, and chased the runs down with 8 balls to spare. Gautam Gambhir won the Player of the Match for his crucial half-century. Interestingly, the last time DC defeated CSK at Chepauk, the Men in yellow went on to win their first-ever IPL trophy.

Earlier this season, Chennai Super Kings lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This was the first time in 6155 days that RCB had won against CSK at Chepauk. Two breaches of their fortress in a matter of few days would surely put some pressure on Ruturaj Gaikwad's side.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bat first against CSK. Faf du Plessis did not play due to an injury. Hence, KL Rahul opened the innings for the first time for DC, and he played a brilliant innings on a tricky Chepauk wicket. He slammed 77 from 51 balls. Abhishek Porel, Axar Patel, Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs all played important cameos as DC put on 183/6 in their 20 overs.

CSK never looked in control during the second innings. The DC bowlers restricted the flow of runs, as the home side could only manage 158/5 after 20 overs, even though Vijay Shankar slammed a valian t 69. Vipraj Nigam was the pick of the bowlers with 2 wickets.
