DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, 6, 6, Aniket!

ANIKET VERMA is on a roll! He has been the only saving grace for Sunrisers Hyderabad today. First through the covers for 4, then smashed over mid-wicket for 6, then back over the bowler’s head for a maximum! Against DC captain Axar Patel! 

Aniket Verma, take a bow.

SRH 140/7 (15)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Impact Sub on!

Interesting choice by Sunrisers Hyderabad here! Wiaan Mulder has been brought on at no. 9, the all-rounder from South Africa. First IPL match for him. SRH will hope that he can provide the much-needed batting depth and send them towards a respectable total.

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: ONE MORE WICKET!

Kuldeep strikes again! The chinaman bowler is putting in one heck of a spell here. Pat Cummins tries to go for the big shot, but like so many others in his team today, doesn’t get the sweet connection. Good catch taken by Jake Fraser-McGurk. Second wicket for Kuldeep!

SRH 123/7 (14)

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 for Aniket Verma!

Half-century for Aniket Verma! First IPL 50 for Aniket Verma. Applause from the Sunrisers Hyderabad dugout. SRH haven’t played well, but Aniket has stood tall and made a difference. Comes off 34 balls.

SRH 123/6 (13.5)

DC vs SRH LIVE: OUT!

Abhinav Manohar is in and Abhinav Manohar is out! Tries to go for the big hit, gets no timing whatsover. Kuldeep Yadav picks up a wicket, and finds the fielder at long-off. Faf du Plessis is as safe as houses.

SRH 119/6 (12)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Abhinav Manohar in the crease

Abhinav Manohar is now out to bat at No. 7, to help Aniket Verma who is nearing his fifty. Abhinav is a brutal striker of the ball, but will need to stitch a partnership here to try and help SRH out of the rut.

SRH 117/5 (11.3)

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: What a catch!

Vipraj Nigam, take a bow! Excellent catch, running back, off-balance but grabs it! Heinrich Klaasen is GONE! SRH are 5-down, and all their big-name batters are back in the dugout inside the 11th over. Klaasen departs for 32.

SRH 114/5 (10.5)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 more!

Aniket Verma, another boundary! Up to 46 now. Full toss by Mohit Sharma, whacked straight back past the bowler for 4! Sunrisers Hyderabad continue the high run-rate despite the big loss of wickets. Bold, brave batting.

SRH 112/4 (10.3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 10 overs done!

Sunrisers Hyderabad have fought back remarkably well here. They were 37/4 as Mitch Starc ran through the top order. But this has been an admirable fightback, with Aniket Verma and Heinrich Klaasen now nearing their half-centuries.

SRH 105/4 (10)

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: KLAASEN, 6!

Kuldeep Yadav into the attack, and Heinrich Klaasen welcomes him in brutal fashion. Terrific, terrific shot. Smoked back up over the bowler’s head, for a big maximum. 100 up for SRH, in just 9.1 overs!

SRH 104/4 (9.1)

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Aniket up to 40!

It is the Aniket Verma show here in Visakhapatnam. Another boundary, and SRH are now motoring towards the 100-run total. Heinrich Klaasen is watching it from the other end, Aniket is dealing in boundaries. Run rate is nearly 11!

SRH 98/4 (9)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Aniket Verma is on a roll!

TWO SIXES! Aniket Verma is on the charge. Third six of the day for the uncapped right-hander, who is leading the SRH fightback alongside Heinrich Klaasen. 50-run partnership up already, in just 22 balls.

SRH 87/4 (7.3)

DC vs SRH LIVE: 16 off the over!

Some big hits, particularly by Aniket Verma. Gets a six and a four in that over, by Axar Patel, which also included a no-ball. Klaasen had mistimed a big hit, but it fell short of two fielders running in. SRH are fighting back.

SRH 74/4 (7)

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Powerplay done!

Heinrich Klaasen is hitting some boundaries here, and takes SRH up to 58 at the end of the powerplay. Will Delhi Capitals rue putting down Aniket in that over? 

DC 58/4 (6)

DC vs SRH LIVE: DROPPED!

Oh dear! Abhishek Porel drops an easy catch here. Axar Patel into the attack, Aniket Verma tries to go big, mistimes and Porel really should’ve taken it at extra cover. Perhaps the sun getting into his eyes, but a big chance put down.

SRH 51/4 (5.2)

DC vs SRH LIVE Score: 50 up for SRH

Some lusty blows by Heinrich Klaasen after walking in. First a big six, then a boundary off Mitch Starc. Those hits have helped SRH reach 50 inside 5 overs. The current run-rate is still 10, but 4 wickets are down, and there is a huge burden on Klaasen.

SRH 50/4 (5)

DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: HEAD GONE!

STARC AGAIN! Travis Head is gone! Sunrisers Hyderabad are 4-down, incredible! Pitched short by Starc, Head tries to pull, gloves it and KL Rahul does the rest behind the stumps. DC are on a roll, Sunrisers Hyderabad in tatters!

SRH 37/4 (4.1)

IPL 2025 LIVE: HEAD SURVIVES!

What is going on? This time, Travis Head is almost out at the non-striker’s end! Aniket hits it straight back, Mukesh gets a finger tip and it slams into the wickets at the non-striker. And Head survives, marginally! 

SRH 37/3 (4)

DC vs SRH LIVE Score: 4!

Travis Head, he’s still there! Huge pressure on him now, but as long as he is at the crease, SRH have hope. This time, picks up Mukesh’s delivery over the covers, clears the inside circle and grabs 4 runs. 

SRH 35/3 (3.4)

DC vs SRH LIVE: Starc loves SRH!

Remember Mitch Starc against SRH in the Qualifier 1 and Final of IPL 2024, when he was at KKR? Player of the Match in both games, back then. And he’s done the magic yet again, and SRH have completely collapsed in the opening phases. 

SRH 30/3 (3.1)

DC vs SRH LIVE: Absolute mess

SRH have sent Aniket Verma up the order at No. 5, with Heinrich Klaasen still in the dugout. They desperately need a partnership, because this has been a very messy start for the men in orange. Mitch Starc with two wickets in one over, and DC are well on top.

SRH 29/3 (3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: STARC AGAIN! REDDY GONE!

What is happening? Sunrisers Hyderabad have fully hit the ‘self-destruct’ button, and Delhi Capitals have picked up three wickets inside the first three overs. Mitchell Starc bowls the cutter, Reddy mistimes, Axar Patel takes a comfortable catch.

SRH 25/3 (2.3)

DC vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2025: Starc STRIKES!

GONE! Ishan Kishan flops as well! Pitched short by Mitch Starc, Kishan tries to upper cut it but doesn’t get the timing. Tristan Stubbs is at deep point, and takes a comfortable catch. Delhi Capitals are in great form today!

DC 20/2 (2.1)

IPL 2025 LIVE: DRS unsuccessful

Good delivery by Mukesh Kumar, angling in towards Ishan Kishan. Not out given by the umpire. Big appeal, and DC eventually go up with a review. Ball shows going outside the leg stump, and Ishan Kishan survives.

SRH 15/1 (1.4)

DC vs SRH LIVE: Dreadful start

Abhishek Sharma will be really upset. That’s the third game in a row where he has failed to contribute significantly. Not the best start for a man who was expected to take the tournament by storm. Onus now on Travis Head and Ishan Kishan to make an impact.

SRH 15/1 (1.3)

DC vs SRH LIVE Score: OUT! OH DEAR

Abhishek Sharma – RUN OUT! Terrible communication between the two openers, and Abhishek Sharma is too slow. Gets run out, good throw from Vipraj Nigam. SRH lose a massive wicket early on.

SRH 11/1 (0.5)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4! Head up and running

Travis Head is up and running. Great shot, great timing. Cover drive, finds the gap between two fielders, and picks up his first boundary. Next ball, goes for another boundary! Travis Head is off to a flying start.

SRH 9/0 (0.3)

IPL Live: Pitch report

“The sun is out. Dimensions – 66m and 60 square boundaries, downtown – 73m. This surface has got an interesting composition – black soil with red soil beneath it. We can expect the batters to have a field day. There might be some assistance for the spinners later in the day,” reckon Danny Morrison and WV Raman. 

DC vs SRH Live: Can DC bowlers tackle SRH batters?

Delhi boast of a formidable bowling attack, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc, whose face-off with fellow Australian Travis Head promises to be a key battle. Starc, alongside Axar and Kuldeep Yadav, will be crucial in countering SRH’s explosive opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Head. Stubbs and Mohit Sharma can also provide crucial breakthroughs towards the end.

DC vs SRH Live: SRH aiming to bounce back

SRH announced their intent with 286/6 in their season opener, with Ishan Kishan smashing a 47-ball 106 after Head (67 off 31 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (24 off 11) provided a fiery start. However, they faltered in their second outing, managing just 190/9 against LSG.

DC vs SRH Live: Ashutosh Sharma’s powerful knock for DC

Chasing 211, DC found themselves reeling at 65/5 before Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31 balls) and Vipraj Nigam (39 at No. 8) scripted a thrilling one-wicket victory. Tristan Stubbs also played a handy knock of 34 at No. 6.

DC vs SRH IPL 2025 Live: KL Rahul’s return to DC camp

Delhi will be strengthened by the return of Rahul, who missed the season opener against LSG due to the birth of his first child. A key architect of India’s Champions Trophy triumph in Dubai earlier this month, Rahul was picked by Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore. Despite his experience, he chose not to lead the side, entrusting the responsibility on Axar Patel.
