His performance proved to be the turning point as Sunrisers Hyderabad were unable to recover from the early setbacks.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bat first in the expectation of scoring a big total on the board. Their batting line up, however, disintegrated against the aggressive pace of Mitchell Starc.

While the top-order debacle, young player Aniket Verma played with immense determination with a wonderful knock of 74 runs. He played some excellent shots and kept SRH in the contest but failed to get any support from other batsmen. His effort was the only major plus for SRH in the first innings as they were bowled out for 163 runs ultimately. Kuldeep Yadav also played a good game with crucial wickets adding to the misery of SRH.

In pursuit of a target of 164 to beat Delhi Capitals took the innings in upbeat frame of mind. They started aggressively so that they never let the needed run rate exceed control. Faf du Plessis played a masterly innings scoring a half-century off 26 deliveries alone. His attacking style pushed SRH bowlers right from the start. Even as IPL newcomer Zeeshan Ansari tried his best to turn the tables in favor of the team by claiming three wickets for SRH, it was not enough to stop DC from securing a dominating victory. DC's batting line-up completed their chase in fantastic style and scored the target four overs in advance. It was a dominant win for Delhi Capitals as Delhi Capitals secured a resounding seven-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The Mitchell Starc spell was hands down the star of the match. His initial cut into the innings put SRH in the impossible position of attempting to launch any kind of momentum. His attacking rhythm and precision dismantled the SRH batting order even before they settled in. Kuldeep Yadav supported Starc well, relentlessly teasing the batsmen with his cunning variations. The bowlers made sure that SRH never achieved a mammoth total. The batting line-up of DC, however, was in its best shape as they chased down the target without much trouble. Faf du Plessis took the initiative with his match-winning innings to make sure that DC was well and truly in command of the chase.

This victory is a major confidence booster for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 as they maintain their strong performance in the tournament. The equipoise between their batting and bowling departments reflected in this match and it will be a confidence booster for them big time in the future. Sunrisers Hyderabad will need to reshuffle their acts and come up with new strategies particularly their batting which was unable to deliver under pressure. Aniket Verma’s knock was the only silver lining for them but they need more players to step up if they want to make a mark in the competition. Zeeshan Ansari’s bowling effort was impressive for SRH but he needed more support from his teammates to create any real impact.
