IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's DC vs KKR match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match number 48 of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, April 29. DC are fourth in the points table, with six wins from nine matches. KKR, on the other hand, are in seventh position. They have won three matches and lost five.

Delhi began IPL 2025 with four consecutive wins, but have tasted defeats in three of their last five matches. In their previous clash, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) beat them by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. Asked to bat first, DC only managed to score 162-8, which RCB chased in 18.3 overs.

Kolkata's last match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Eden Gardens produced no result due to rain. Bowling first, they conceded 201 runs and only batted for one over before rain played spoilsport. Before the no result, KKR went down the Punjab and Gujarat Titans (GT) by 16 runs and 39 runs respectively. The defending champions are struggling in both the batting and bowling departments.

Looking at the head-to-head numbers between KKR and DC, Kolkata have won 18 matches and Delhi 15. Meanwhile, a number of significant landmarks could be achieved in match number 48 of IPL 2025 on Tuesday. Here's a lowdown.
