KKR 1st Innings Update vs DC in 48th Match of Indian Premier League 2025
Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl first against the Kolkata Knight Riders, and what followed was a thrilling first innings filled with aggressive batting, strategic bowling, and DRS drama. KKR managed to post a strong total of 204/9 in 20 overs, thanks to a decent middle-order performance. So Let’s take a look at KKR 1st Innings Update vs DC in 48th Match of IPL 2025.
Kolkata got off to a brisk start with Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring 26 off 15 balls before falling in the third over. Sunil Narine and Ajinkya Rahane followed with quickfire 20s, but it was Angkrish Raghuvanshi who held the innings together with a commanding 44 off 32 balls, hitting 3 fours and 2 sixes, providing valuable support during the middle overs. Rinku Singh chipped in with a useful 36 off 25, keeping the momentum alive until the final overs.
Delhi’s bowling effort was patchy early on but picked up towards the end. Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with 3/43 in his four overs. He bowled the high-pressure final over and took two wickets in consecutive deliveries before a run-out on the third ball — creating a rare team hat-trick moment.
Axar Patel was economical and effective with 2/27, while skipper Vipraj Nigam took 2 wickets, including a big one of Sunil Narine.
The innings also featured an unusual highlight — four DRS reviews, three of them by Delhi Capitals. Two of DC’s reviews were for wides and one for a caught behind; they retained one review and lost two. KKR took one review for LBW but were unsuccessful. It was a rare treat for fans to see technology play such a big role in the T20 format.
The final over collapse, three wickets in three balls, halted KKR’s hopes of pushing past 210. Still, with 204 on the board, they’ve given themselves a strong platform. The chase promises to be a thriller as Delhi Capitals gear up to reply.
