IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today’s DC vs SRH match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in game number 10 of IPL 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 30. This will be the first match of a double-header. DC have played one and won one so far in IPL 2025, while SRH have one victory and one defeat from two games.

Delhi kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with an incredible one-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Visakhapatnam. Bowling first, DC gave away 209 runs. They could easily have been chasing 250, but Kuldeep Yadav (2-20) and Mitchell Starc (3-42) led a good fightback for the team. In the chase, Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31) and Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15) lifted Delhi to victory.

SRH's ultra-aggressive batting approach worked against Rajasthan Royals (RR), but they fell short against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Batting first, they were held to 190-9. Travis Head smashed 47 off 28, but there were no big contributions as such. Hyderabad's bowlers also struggled to make an impact as LSG got home with ease in 16.1 overs.

A few significant milestones could be achieved by players from both teams in the DC vs SRH IPL 2025 match. Here's a lowdown.
