Kuldeep Yadav to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Extraordinary effort from Mohit Sharma to save 5 runs for his side. But had he been closer to the ropes, that could have been a simple catch. Short and on middle, Yashasvi Jaiswal sweeps it over deep backward square leg. Mohit initially comes forward, but then moves back and sticks out his right hand to push the ball back in while being airborne. He lobs the ball back in the field of play, before leaping over the ropes with the falling momentum. Just a single then.

Axar Patel to Riyan Parag, OUT! Outfoxed, and totally outclassed! The first wicket for Axar Patel in this season! From around the stumps, Axar dishes out on a fuller length, keeping it on a flatter trajectory, in front of the stumps. It lands and skids a bit as Riyan Parag tries to play for the turn and push it away into the off side.

22:03 (IST) Apr 16
Strategic Break! Rajasthan Royals have come out all guns blazing with a flying start, but losing Sanju Samson to a side strain is a big blow, they didn’t want at this stage. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have looked completely out of rhythm with the ball. Wayward lines, missed opportunities, and a costly dropped catch have only added to their woes. They were banking on early wickets to put pressure on RR, but having failed to do that, they now find themselves under the pump, especially with dew starting to set in. They’ll need something special to claw their way back into this one. Axar Patel brings himself into the attack now.

DC vs RR Live Score, IPL 2025: Following a shocking loss to Mumbai Indians at home, Delhi Capitals will look to return to winning ways when they face Rajasthan Royals today. A four-match winning streak had positioned Delhi strongly, but a dramatic collapse during their chase of 206 at the Arun Jaitley stadium — despite Karun Nair’s 89 — saw them fall short by 12 runs and drop to second place on the table. The Royals, on the other hand, continue to struggle. With only two wins in six matches, Sanju Samson’s team sits at eighth, plagued by inconsistent batting and a largely ineffective bowling unit. Though Jaiswal’s recent half-century brought some hope, the rest of the top and middle order has failed to capitalize. Spin will again be central to Delhi’s strategy, with Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam in excellent form. However, captain Axar Patel remains wicketless this season and is also yet to contribute with the bat. Faf du Plessis remains unavailable, but Nair’s return to form has bolstered the batting lineup. As both teams search for momentum, Delhi will hope to capitalise on home advantage and reaffirm their top-four ambitions, while Rajasthan will be desperate to arrest their downward slide.
