The IPL never ceases to surprise you. Yesterday, Delhi Capitals had seven wickets in hand and had to score only 23 from 21 balls against Kings XI Punjab but they only scored eight runs and lost seven wickets in the next 17 balls. The cricketing legends were shocked at this epic collapse.

The Delhi co-owner was pissed!

Must learn from these last two games - to lose from such a winning position is not good. Batsmen have to take more responsibility and finish the game off
— Parth Jindal (@ParthJindal11)

Unbelievable!

Delhi Capitals required 23 off 21 balls with 7 wickets in hand. The next 17 balls brought seven wickets and just eight runs. WW•111W•1wdW••W•4•WW.

The past always comes back to haunt you!

sometimes delhi capitals reconnect with delhi daredevils
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75)

Ian Bishop has a point! The youngsters will bounce back!

Well, that was an exciting culmination. Delhi Capitals will be disappointed that they didn’t apply the lessons learnt from the previous game. They are a young team and need to learn quickly. But KXIP won’t be complaining. 2019.

Viru Paaji was just shocked!

8/7 in 17 balls.

What a collapse !

Punjab Kings were one of the most balanced sides in IPL 2025, thanks to coach Ricky Ponting’s tactical nous during the mega auctions. They had an excellent season, albeit failing at the final hurdle, and will have minimal work in the upcoming auctions, with Glenn Maxwell looking down the hills.

Sam Curran has shared that he was unaware about his hat-trick during the game against Delhi Capitals as the first dismissal was in the 18th over and the next two were in the 20th. He also opened up about batting as an opener in Monday’s match, something which he had last done in school cricket.
