DC vs KKR LIVE Score | IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: KKR’s Rs 23.75 Crore Venkatesh Iyer Buy Flops Terribly After Poor Shot, Rinku Singh In

DC vs KKR LIVE: Delhi pulling things back

Excellent second over by Kuldeep Yadav. Just 1 run off it, and a half chance to dismiss Raghuvanshi as well. Delhi Capitals slowly coming back and reducing the KKR run-rate with their high-quality spin attack.

KKR 137/4 (13)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4, Rinku!

Pitched short by Kuldeep Yadav and punished through square-leg by Rinku. Good shot, well-executed risk by the left-hander. 9 comes off the over in all. KKR still going at well over 11 runs an over. Power-hitters still to come in the form of Russell and Powell.

KKR 126/4 (11)

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: 117 after 10

A great run rate being maintained by KKR but they’ve lost a bunch of crucial wickets at regular intervals. 4 wickets down, but they are on track for 200+ here. Can Raghuvanshi and Rinku pave the way and stabilize the KKR innings?

KKR 117/4 (10)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Oh dear, Venkatesh Iyer has absolutely thrown his wicket away here. Tries to go big, sends it way up after mistiming, and a simple catch in the circle for Vipraj Nigam. Another bad day in the office for Venkatesh. Axar Patel takes his second wicket.

KKR 113/4 (9.2)

DC vs KKR LIVE: SIX!

100 up for KKR! Angkrish Raghuvanshi brings it up with a classy shot back over the bowler’s head for six. Next ball, another six! This one is even better, over extra-cover. “Very-skilled shot” says Nick Knight on commentary.

KKR 109/3 (8.5)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Venkatesh, 4!

First boundary for Venkatesh Iyer, punched through the covers for 4. A lot of pressure on him to ensure KKR don’t collapse from here, and justify why he was paid Rs 23.75 crore by the franchise. A successful over by Axar.

KKR 97/3 (8)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

CAPTAIN GETS CAPTAIN! Ajinkya Rahane is gone, Axar Patel gets the wicket. Another LBW, and KKR are once again at risk of falling apart in the middle overs. Angling back in at Rahane, he misses it, hits him on the pads and he’s gone. 

KKR 91/3 (7.2)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Edged, 4!

Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets a boundary off the last ball of Vipraj’s over. Outside edge, good bowling by Vipraj, but it goes away for 4. 12 off the over, but Vipraj has made his mark with a big wicket.

KKR 91/2 (7)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Vipraj Nigam strikes! Sunil Narine is gone! LBW. Narine tries the slog sweep, misses it completely, hits him on the pads and it is as plumb as it can get. Vipraj continues to provide uncanny breakthroughs for Delhi Capitals in the middle overs.

KKR 85/2 (6.4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: FOUR!

Vipraj Nigam into the attack but he has been taken to the boundary by Ajinkya Rahane. Quicker delivery by Vipraj, Rahane gets onto his back foot and flicks it through square-leg for 4. Excellent, excellent timing.

KKR 84/1 (6.2)

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: 79 in 6 overs

End of a great powerplay for Kolkata Knight Riders. 79 runs in 6 overs piled up by Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane and Gurbaz. The perfect platform has been set for KKR, now the onus lies on the middle order to not lose this momentum from hereon.

KKR 79/0 (6)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4, 4 Narine!

Ajinkya Rahane, glorious! Two superb shots through the off-side, both through the backward point region. “Beautiful to the eye” says Kevin Pietersen, talking pitchside. KKR are off to a flying start, and Rahane has continued the momentum.

KKR 76/1 (5.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Great start by KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders have made an excellent start here. Yes, they lost Gurbaz. But even he made a fiery contribution of 26 off just 12 balls. They’re motoring along at nearly 14 runs an over now. Starc has gone for 35 in his 3 overs.

KKR 68/1 (5)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Narine in a bit of pain

A sharp delivery by Mitchell Starc hits Sunil Narine on the thigh. Bit of discomfort shown at first by Narine, but he has seems to have worn it off. And Rahane smashes Starc for SIX over deep square-leg! What a hit.

KKR 63/1 (4.4)

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: 50 up for KKR

50 up for KKR in 3.4 overs! Comes off Sunil Narine’s blade, who whacks yet another boundary. Three dots to the start Mukesh Kumar’s over, but then Narine breaks free with a boundary between deep mid-wicket and long-on.

KKR 52/1 (3.4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Gurbaz departs! Mitchell Starc gets his man, despite being smashed for 15 runs in the over. Faintest of edges off the bat, and a clean catch taken by Abishek Porel. End of a 48-run opening stand, KKR’s best this season.

KKR 48/1 (3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Two boundaries! And then SIX!

Rahmanullah Gurbaz continues to deal in boundaries against Mitchell Starc. Two more in the third over. One over the keeper’s head, top edge off the gloves. The second one is delicately placed through third man. And then he pummels him over third man for 6!

KKR 48/0 (2.5)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Now 6!

Sunil Narine to the party! He has dished out the treatment to former KKR pacer Dushmantha Chameera in this over. Clears mid-wicket this time, another maximum for him. Last ball of the over, Gurbaz picks up 4 more! Inside edge, almost onto the stumps, but he gets 4. 25 off Chameera’s over!

KKR 33/0 (2)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4 more

Sunil Narine picks up another boundary! Deft flick, enough power to send it just over Kuldeep Yadav and mid-wicket, and then it runs away for 4. Boundaries early on from the KKR openers, with Chameera missing his length.

KKR 22/0 (1.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: SIX!

Sunil Narine, first ball 6! Makes it look so easy. Full delivery by Dushmantha Chameera, and cleared back over the bowler’s head, straight onto the sight screen, for a maximum. No Axar Patel opening the bowling. The next ball is a wide.

KKR 15/0 (1.1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4 more

Boundary to start the over, boundary to end it. Gurbaz picks up two fours in the first over off Mitch Starc. Width offered by the ex-KKR pacer, and Gurbaz this times gets it through the fielders on the off-side.

KKR 8/0 (1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Starc to open the bowling!

First ball 4! Starc trying to swing it back in, Rahmanullah Gurbaz times it very well. Down the ground, the ball races away for a boundary. Gurbaz will have to get off to a good start today. Another one sweetly off the blade, but straight to KL Rahul at cover.

KKR 4/0 (0.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: KL Rahul won’t keep wickets

An interesting development today in the Delhi Capitals camp. KL Rahul will NOT keep wickets against KKR. Instead, Abishek Porel, the man from Bengal, will take the gloves. Important to remember that Porel made a big fielding error in DC’s previous match.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Will Axar open the bowling again?

A common trend in Delhi Capitals matches this year has been captain Axar Patel choosing to open the bowling on multiple occasions. Will we see that happen again? With an out-of-form right-hander up the order, it may not be a bad option.

DC vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Starc and Kuldeep face old team KKR

KKR will go up against three of their former players tonight, in the form of Delhi Capitals bowlers Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav and Dushmantha Chameera. Starc, in particular, was pivotal in KKR winning IPL 2024, winning the Player of the Match awards in Qualifier 1 and the Final last year.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Pressure on KKR openers

Ever since the departure of Phil Salt, KKR have been unable to stitch consistent opening partnerships. Quinton de Kock fired in just one match, while Gurbaz also could not get going in his 1 match so far. Pressure on him and Narine today if KKR want to win.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Mind games from Axar?

Axar Patel may be playing mind games with KKR with his statement that the pitch is a 190-200 one, speculates former KKR captain Eoin Morgan, who is part of the broadcast panelists for the match. Big statement made towards a fragile KKR batting lineup.

DC vs KKR LIVE: DELHI CAPITALS WIN TOSS!

DC vs KKR LIVE: Delhi’s unsung hero?

A consistent yet underrated performer for Delhi Capitals over 2024 and 2025 has been South African Tristan Stubbs. Whether it it to score runs in the middle overs, bail the team out of trouble or smash at the death, Stubbs has done his job superbly.

DC vs KKR LIVE: KL Rahul under pressure?

While KL Rahul started off the season in a rich vein of form, questions over his strike-rate have begun to crop up, particularly after he scored 41 off 39 in DC’s defeat to RCB in their previous match. So far in IPL 2025, Rahul has scored 364 runs in 8 games at a strike rate of 146.

DC vs KKR LIVE: What is the H2H record?

Kolkata Knight Riders have a 18-15 edge over Delhi Capitals in their IPL historic head-to-head record. The two teams share a 5-5 record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, but KKR haven’t won at this stadium since 2017.

DC vs KKR LIVE: KKR’s middle order off form

Kolkata Knight Riders’ expensive middle-order has failed to fire on a consistent basis in IPL 2025. Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell cost the franchise a combined Rs 48.75 crore, but have not won many matches for KKR this season and failed to live up to their on-paper might.
