Following a commanding victory against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday, Delhi Capitals’ mentor Kevin Pietersen has embarked on a well-deserved break to the Maldives. Pietersen, who has been instrumental in guiding the team, will miss the upcoming away fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 10. However, he is set to rejoin the squad ahead of their crucial home encounter with Mumbai Indians on April 13.
The Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals have enjoyed a stellar start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, remaining the only undefeated team in the tournament. Their campaign kicked off with a nail-biting victory over Lucknow Super Giants, followed by convincing wins against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings, accumulating a total of six points.
The team’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav, has been in scintillating form, while the batting unit has been equally effective. KL Rahul, stepping in as an opener due to Faf du Plessis‘s absence, showcased his prowess with a stellar 77 off 51 balls against Chennai Super Kings, anchoring the innings and steering the team to victory.
The upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the challenging Chinnaswamy Stadium will test Delhi Capitals’ mettle. Known for its batsman-friendly conditions, the venue poses a significant challenge for bowlers. However, with a blend of seasoned campaigners and promising young talents, Delhi Capitals are well-equipped to tackle this challenge and maintain their winning streak.
With their impressive performances and a perfect balance of youth and experience, Delhi Capitals are emerging as strong contenders for the IPL 2025 title. As they prepare to face Mumbai Indians, the team’s focus will be on continuing their unbeaten run and solidifying their position at the top of the leaderboard.
