Delhi Capitals Secure Third Straight IPL Win, Top Points Table

KL Rahul's 77-run knock and disciplined bowling lead Delhi to a 25-run victory over struggling Chennai Super Kings.

CSK finished with half their side intact and yet lost to Delhi Capitals by 25 runs. MS Dhoni and Vijay Shankar finished with an unbeaten stand of 84 off 57 balls, with much of the little accelaration the two batters found coming after the target was well out of reach.
