Led by our talismanic captain Rishabh Pant, our boys will head into the game after we celebrated our 50th IPL match with a commanding six-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at home on Saturday.
After we opted to bowl first, our bowlers produced an impressive fightback to restrict the Titans to 180/6 in their 20 overs.
Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi were our standout bowlers with two wickets each. Apart from Shardul and Bishnoi, Digvesh Rathi and Avesh Khan also contributed with one scalp each to stage a remarkable comeback from 120/0 at the start of the 13th over.
Later, twin fifties from Nicholas Pooran (61) and Aiden Markram (58), along with Ayush Badoni’s crucial cameo of unbeaten 28 guided us to our third consecutive win, our fourth overall in IPL 2025.
