22:47 (IST) Apr 16
Kuldeep Yadav to Dhruv Jurel, An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger! Dhruv Jurel walks to chat with Rana and gestures that it hit his bicep. He signals the ‘T’ and reviews the on-field decision! Kuldeep dishes it fuller, and right in front of the stumps, giving some more revs on it. Dhruv Jurel is a bit early with the sweep shot and plays down the wrong line. The ball passes past the outside edge and hits on his right elbow. No need for UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows the ball missing the top of off by a considerable margin. Jurel survives a scare.

Nitish Rana switches his stance and tries to reverse sweep, but wears on the body as he misses to get any wood on it. DC do not go for a review.

22:38 (IST) Apr 16
Strategic Break. This contest is poised nicely as with the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Delhi Capitals will look to clamp down the scoring rate in the next few overs. They have done well by conceding just a solitary boundary, after the halfway mark. As usual, the main man for DC, Kuldeep Yadav has kept things really tight from his end. A couple of more wickets here in quick succession will definitely peg RR on the back foot. Also, their problems against the spin have been evident this season. But, with potential hitters yet to come, and with eight wickets in the bank, they will look to charge on after the break. Here’s Axar Patel back into the attack.

22:29 (IST) Apr 16
Mukesh Kumar to Nitish Rana, A big appeal for caught behind, but the umpire turns it down. KL Rahul is very convinced and Axar Patel decides to send it upstairs. On a length, just outside off, Nitish Rana sits on his knee and looks to work it across but misses on the inside edge. The ball seems to go very close to the inside edge and past the pads too, on the way to the keeper. The UltraEdge shows no spike as the ball passes the bat, but a spike does appear when the ball grazes the thigh pad. The on-field call of NOT OUT stays. Delhi Capitals lose their review.
22:28 (IST) Apr 16

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.
