IPL 2025: After solid start, Delhi Capitals set for first away challenge of tournament

On Saturday, April 5, the Delhi Capitals will play their first away IPL 2025 encounter against the Chennai Super Kings at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium after putting on an incredible display in the previous two games in Visakhapatnam.

Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav of the Delhi Capitals stated on the eve of the game, “The Chennai Super Kings have some excellent players in their roster. Against them, I have a straightforward strategy: I want to take wickets while maintaining a firm grip.

The length is crucial. I’m thinking about the lengths I should bowl at. Furthermore, he continued, “I want to keep doing what I’ve done well, which is getting the ball to turn.”

The Chennai Super Kings, the Delhi Capitals’ opponent for the game, had already lost two of their last three games and won one.

Kuldeep had some positive things to say about his opponent, Noor Ahmed, who is now the competition’s top wicket-taker.

“Noor Ahmed is a really good bowler who is eager to pick up tips from everyone. Last night, we also talked about leg spin when bowling. When you play in Chennai, it’s very hard for a batter to read him because of his good pace,” he remarked.

As a wrist spinner, I think it’s important to adjust and develop the ability to spin the ball, which is what I’ve done for years, regardless of whether you bowl with your right or left arm. While discussing the peculiarity of wrist spinners, he added, “Even now, I just look at how I can improve.”

The 30-year-old’s last game for the Delhi Capitals saw him take his 50th wicket. Speaking about his accomplishments and the impact of the famous Shane Warne, Kuldeep stated, “I learnt a lot from watching all of Shane Warne’s films as a child. While I was in the academy, I also learnt a lot from one of my seniors who bowled leg spin. One learns a lot when they are bowling with someone beside them.

In their third IPL 2025 encounter, the Delhi Capitals will play the Chennai Super Kings on Saturday, April 5 at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium.
