IPL Is IPLing’: Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals Clash Delivers Heart-Stopping Drama and First Super Over of IPL 2025
DC vs RR ends in a thrilling Super Over as Starc’s magic helps Delhi Capitals seal victory. IPL 2025 delivers ultimate entertainment once again.
Mitchell Starc Shines as Delhi Capitals Win First Super Over of IPL 2025 in a Thrilling Clash Against Rajasthan Royals
Delhi Capitals clashed with Rajasthan Royals in a high-octane contest that many fans would define against the term “IPL is IPLing.” The electrifying encounter at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday was nothing short of a roller-coaster ride, as it culminated in IPL 2025’s first Super Over, keeping the thrills of cricket at its peak.
Batting first, Delhi Capitals did a competitive total of 188 for 5, courtesy of a pretty steady middle order. Rajasthan, however, gave no impression of being under pressure in achieving that target and finally completed their innings with exactly the same score of 188 for 4. It all boiled down to the final over from Mitchell Starc, who managed to hold his nerve and defend nine runs in a spectacular fashion.
What then ensued was nail biting latch called Super Over. Since ROH batting second in the match, now they entered the Super Over. It was pretty shocking and bemusing that Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag came out for batting, leaving everyone absolutely confused over in-form Nitish Rana, who before had hit a 51 off 28 balls. Yet, the Royals managed to score a measly 11 runs out of Starc’s super spell.

When Delhi Capitals came out to chase 12 runs in their Super Over, the crowd roared with anticipation. KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs sat ready, calmly steering their team to victory with two balls to spare. Starc’s brilliance in both the final over and Super Over earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
Fans couldn’t stop talking about it on social media. And by adding one more to an already ridiculously phenomenal list of IPL 2025 highlights-Hat trick run-out win by Mumbai Indians, MS Dhoni’s vintage match-winning for Chennai Super Kings, and finally a score of 245 by Punjab Kings where they suffered defeat and then defended the lowest score ever in IPL history-it brought the IPL to peak entertainment mode and made the internet go mad with the announcement that ‘IPL is IPLing!”.

This contest was, thus, thrilling and added to the legacy of the Delhi franchise while, once again, proving that Indian Premier League is indeed the epitome of cricket entertainment.
