'Will Try To Come Back': Delhi Capitals Vipraj Nigam Remains Hopeful For Top Two Spot Despite Back To Back Losses In IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals succumbed to a defeat at home as Kolkata Knight Riders ran away with the win by 14 runs. Delhi Capitals seem to have what looks like a loss of form as this was the second game that they lost in a row and both of these losses came at home. During the match KKR batted first and set a target of 205 for Delhi Capitals to chase. The target seemed within reach for Delhi Capitals but the wicket of a dangerous Faf du Plessis turned the game on it's head as DC fell short of the target by 14 runs. 

Vipraj Nigam Remains Hopeful Of DC's Chances

“There are some decisions that we make at the last moment, which is why the game gets messed up sometimes here and there. But we are still in the top four, and we have five more games left, in which we will try to come back and finish in the top two,” said Vipraj Nigam after the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. 

Delhi Capitals despite the losses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders are fourth in the IPL points table.
