The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) delivered one of the most dramatic finishes of the IPL 2025 season, as their clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium ended in a pulsating tie. Both teams finished with identical scores of 188 runs, setting up the first Super Over of the season. Fans across the globe erupted with excitement as tension reached fever pitch in the capital.

Rajasthan Royals needed 9 in the final over

With RR needing just 9 runs off the final over and Mitchell Starc handed the responsibility, the odds were in favor of the Royals, especially with Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer at the crease. But Starc, showcasing his class and experience, bowled a sensational final over filled with pinpoint yorkers and immense pressure.

📸 Here’s how the final over unfolded:

  • 19.1 – Starc to Hetmyer: Yorker on middle, just a single to mid-wicket.
  • 19.2 – Starc to Jurel: Another perfect yorker, just one run back to the bowler.
  • 19.3 – Starc to Hetmyer: Wide drive past cover, two runs taken easily.
  • 19.4 – Starc to Hetmyer: High strike over extra-cover, saved at long-off – two more.
  • 19.5 – Starc to Hetmyer: Straight drive to long-on, quick work by Stubbs, only one taken.
  • 19.6 – Starc to Jurel: Clipped to deep mid-wicket, they went for a risky second but Axar Patel was lightning fast with his throw. Run out! Match tied. Super Over confirmed.

Mitchell Starc turns the clock back

After being under scrutiny earlier in the tournament, Starc found his rhythm just when it mattered the most. The way he mixed his angles and delivered toe-crushing yorkers was reminiscent of his vintage best. Starc not only defended 9 runs in the final over but also claimed a crucial run-out that forced the Super Over.

With scores level, the stadium witnessed dramatic scenes. KL Rahul was spotted in deep conversation with DC head coach Hemang Badani, while RR captain Sanju Samson had a quick tactical huddle with mentor Rahul Dravid. As fans held their breath, both teams geared up for the high-stakes Super Over that would decide the winner of this epic clash.
