The Delhi Capitals (DC) secured a convincing 20-run victory against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 13 of the IPL 2024 season. The recently concluded encounter took place in DC's makeshift home ground, Vizag, on Sunday, March 31.

After Delhi opted to bat first, openers David Warner and Prithvi Shaw provided a strong foundation. Rishabh Pant then chipped in with a resounding half-century, propelling DC's first-innings total to 191/5.

Matheesha Pathirana had a great day on the field as he took three wickets for Chennai and plucked a blinder of a catch to dismiss Warner.

Chasing 192, Ruturaj Gaikwad (1) and Rachin Ravindra (2) lost their wickets early but Ajinkya Rahane kept things steady with his 45. Daryl Mitchell (34) also failed to convert his start into a big score before MS Dhoni's vintage action saw him hammer 37* off 16.

However, some outstanding death bowling saw Delhi restrict CSK to 171/6, thus winning the game by 20 runs.

While the match is in the history books now, here are three landmarks that were reached during the entertaining IPL 2024 clash.
