Delhi Capitals young player Abhishek Porel played a brilliant innings in the IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals, although he missed the half-century by just one run. But his innings is something else. Let’s know the exciting story of this match in detail.
Stormy start, then sudden sluggishness – Abhishek started the match like a storm. He scored runs in the very first over, then in the second over he hit four fours and a six off Tushar Deshpande’s balls! He had scored 24 runs in just seven balls. It seemed that today a half-century was certain. But you will be surprised to know what happened after this. Suddenly his run-scoring pace slowed down. In the last 30 balls, he added only 25 runs, which included only one four. Everyone was surprised to see this sudden change. People were also discussing this a lot on social media.
Life and then out – In the 13th over of the match, Abhishek got a life. His shot on Jofra Archer’s bouncer went off the edge of the bat, but no appeal was made. But he could not capitalize on this life. In the very next over, Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed him. His 37-ball innings ended at 49 runs. A user on social media wrote, ‘It seems Abhishek forgot his batting after 7 balls!’ This is really something to think about.
Performance of Delhi Capitals – Although Abhishek missed the fifty by one run, Delhi Capitals performed well overall. KL Rahul scored 38 runs, and captain Axar Patel played a stormy innings of 34 runs in 14 balls. Tristan Stubbs also scored an unbeaten 34 to take the team’s score to 188. But Karun Nair was run out, he could not score more runs. Overall, Delhi set a challenging score for Rajasthan.
