Sunil Narine’s All-Round Brilliance Powers KKR to Stunning Win Over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 Thriller
In a pulsating IPL 2025 clash, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pulled off a remarkable 14-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC), thanks to a magical all-round performance by Sunil Narine. Chasing 205, DC appeared to be cruising with Faf du Plessis (62) and Axar Patel (37) in control. But Narine turned the game on its head, grabbing three key wickets and delivering a direct-hit run-out to derail the chase.
Earlier, KKR posted 204/9, led by a solid 44 from youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Birthday boy Andre Russell chipped in with a handy 17 off 9 balls and bowled a nerveless final over, aiming for six yorkers — and delivering under pressure.
The win keeps KKR’s playoff hopes alive, taking them to 9 points from 10 matches. They now gear up for back-to-back home games against Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. For Delhi Capitals, it was their third home defeat in four games at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a worrying trend as they now risk slipping into the thick of the playoff battle.
Sunil Narine, who also captained the side during key moments, was the star of the night — scoring 27 runs, taking 3 wickets, and effecting a crucial run-out. KKR’s spirited comeback was a reminder of how quickly fortunes can shift in T20 cricket.
