Having suffered two defeats in their last four matches, including the six-wicket loss to RCB on Sunday, Delhi Capitals will aim to get back on track and avoid any late stumbles in their impressive IPL 2025 campaign when they take on a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday
The Bollywood star and Punjab Kings’ co-owner has been keeping her fans entertained with glimpses of life behind the scenes during IPL 2025.
Both RCB and DC have enjoyed a stellar run this season, recording six wins each to occupy the second and third spots on the IPL points table, respectively. With five away wins on the trot, RCB will be eager to continue the momentum and steer clear of their three-way tie with Gujarat Titans and DC on 12 points.
The loss extended their losing streak to four matches, and has also coincided with CSK’s worst performance at home ever in the league, with their slim hopes of qualifying for the playoffs fading rapidly.
Punjab Kings will be hoping to take the positives from their earlier face-off against Kolkata Knight Riders at Mullanpur, where they defended the lowest score in IPL history and get out of the mid-table logjam when the two sides take on each other in the reverse fixture at the Eden Gardens on Saturday.

Mumbai Indians have recently breathed new life into their campaign with back-to-back victories over Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
After a minor blip against Lucknow Super Giants halted their near-perfect run in IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans will look to bounce back strongly in the top-of-the-table clash against a confident Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in an afternoon game on Saturday.
