Delhi Capitals recorded their highest-ever chase in IPL history on Friday, May 1, beating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets to end their streak of three consecutive defeats. KL Rahul (75 off 40) and Pathum Nissanka (62 off 33) set the foundation with a 110-run opening stand as DC chased down RR's 225/6 with seven wickets and five balls to spare at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
Nitish Rana chipped in with a quick 33 before Tristan Stubbs (18*) and Ashutosh Sharma (25*) shared an unbeaten 49-run stand off 24 balls to finish the game.
The result underlined a complete batting performance from DC who never looked in trouble despite the daunting total.
Earlier in the game, RR captain Riyan Parag won the toss and opted to bat. The Royals lost both of their explosive openers inside the first two overs before Parag stepped in to rescue his team, scoring 90 off 50 balls.
