DC vs KKR IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders: DC mentor Kevin Pietersen said that they had gone for a slow and low pitch against RCB to battle the latter's strengths. Now that backfired quite spectacularly on them and KP said that it could be a better surface today.

DC vs KKR IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders: A groin injury had kept Du Plessis out of much of the season after getting off to a sensational start in the first couple of games of the season. His return came against RCB and Du Plessis struggled in that match. A return to form for him would go a long way in restoring DC's fortune.

In the next five matches, his number of wickets have halved, his economy rate has gone up to 7.35 and his strike rate has jumped from 12 to 30.

DC vs KKR IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders: At the start of this season, it looked like DC might finally be the side that unlocks KL Rahul's full spectrum of potential as a T20 batter.

He scored 185 runs in his first three games (he missed DC's season opener), averaging 92.50 and striking at 169.72. However, since their first game in Delhi, he has only managed 179 runs in five innings, with his strike rate also dropping to 127.85.
