Delhi Capitals down Chennai Super Kings to extend winning run in IPL
CHENNAI: Lokesh Rahul led the way with 77 off 51 balls as Delhi Capitals beat Chennai Super Kings by 25 runs on Saturday to continue their winning start in the Indian Premier League. Rahul hit a maiden half-century for his new franchise, including six fours and three sixes, as Delhi notched up 183-6 in 20 overs. Abishek Porel contributed 33 off 20 balls. In reply, Chennai were restricted to 158-5 (20 overs), with their top-order lacking the firepower needed for such a chase. It was Delhi’s third straight win to start off this season — only the second time they have achieved this feat in IPL history, the last such occasion was in 2009. The Capitals thus climbed atop the points’ table with six points.
