Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals
In their last match of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings by 6 wickets thanks to young Sameer Rizvi’s first half -century and a good innings of Karun Nair. With this victory, Delhi concluded the season with victory. Punjab Kings, batting first, scored 206 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs on the strength of Marcus Stoinis and captain Shreyas Iyer’s Atishi innings. Stoinis scored 62 off 31 balls in a stormy style, while Iyer scored an important innings of 55 runs in 34 balls.
In response, Delhi Capitals chased the difficult target of 207 runs in 19.3 overs. 21 -year -old Sameer Rizvi batted with a bang, scoring an unbeaten 58 in just 25 balls with the help of 5 sixes and 3 fours. His partner Karun Nair also added 44 runs off 27 balls, including 2 sixes and 5 fours.
Iyer’s name unwanted record
The defeat at the hands of Delhi has shocked the hopes of Punjab Kings to top the points table, while captain Shreyas Iyer’s name has also been added to an embarrassing record. Interestingly, Iyer has made this unwanted record by leaving MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli behind.
In fact, Shreyas Iyer has now reached the top in the list of captains losing the most times, defending 200+ scores in IPL history. Under his captaincy, teams have failed to defend a score of 200+ four times, which is the highest ever. Earlier, this shameful record was in the names of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Dhoni and Kohli failed to defend a score of 200+ 3 times.
