Chennai Super Kings: After hitting a superb 77 off 51 balls to help Delhi Capitals (DC) beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 25 runs and go on top of the IPL 2025 points table, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has credited the work done with Indian team assistant coach Abhishek Nayar helping him regain the fun and joy of playing white-ball cricket.

On a dry pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Rahul opened the batting in the absence of an unfit Faf du Plessis and was at 25 off 20 balls, before flicking a switch to hit 36 off his next 18 balls and make 77 off 51 balls.

His superb knock, laced with six fours and three sixes, including taking down CSK’s strike bowler Noor Ahamd meant DC made 183/6, which was enough to get them a win in Chennai after 15 years and maintain their unbeaten run in the competition.
