DC vs KKR IPL 2025 Clash: Rinku Singh Shines Amid Pressure

New Delhi, India – In a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on April 29, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are fighting for their playoff lives against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. With KKR aiming for a 200-plus total, Rinku Singh displayed his intent by aggressively attacking DC’s Kuldeep Yadav, hitting him for two boundaries and a six.

After a shaky start, KKR managed to reach 168 for 4 after 16 overs, largely thanks to Singh and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who was valuable at the other end. This match is a must-win for KKR to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs, while a victory for DC could propel them to the top of the points table.

Following the toss, DC captain Axar Patel opted to bowl first, hoping to capitalize on potential dew in the second innings. KKR’s star player, Venkatesh Iyer, unfortunately failed again, scoring just 7 runs before getting dismissed by DC’s Dushmantha Chameera. The pressure mounted as Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine also fell victim to quick dismissals during the powerplay.

“We need to win five out of five, as simple as that,” Rahane said before the match, highlighting the importance of the game. KKR’s top order struggled against DC’s spin attack, but Rinku’s efforts provided some much-needed momentum in the latter overs.

Despite the challenges, specific milestones are within reach for different players, including Kuldeep Yadav, who is just one wicket away from 100 IPL wickets.

As the match continues, KKR needs strong final overs to set a challenging total while DC seeks to exploit their bowling depth to secure a win.
