Rahul Dravid’s Rajasthan Royals suffered a defeat against Delhi Capitals in a thrilling Super Over in IPL 2025. Despite Nitish Rana’s impressive performance in the regular match, Dravid and skipper Sanju Samson opted to send Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag for the Super Over, leaving fans and experts surprised. Cheteshwar Pujara and Ian Bishop criticized the decision, suggesting that Rana should have been included in the lineup and Jaiswal should have started the over. Pujara believed that Jaiswal’s record against Mitchell Starc could have put pressure on the bowler, while Bishop favored Rana’s skills in the crucial moment. However, Starc’s brilliant bowling restricted RR to just 11 runs in the Super Over, and DC easily chased down the target in four balls without losing any wickets. With this defeat, RR is now in eighth position with two wins and five defeats, while DC leads the table with five wins and one loss.
