🕰️ First Super Over Since 2021!

The last time fans witnessed a Super Over in the IPL was back in 2021, when DC beat SRH in a thriller. Axar Patel had bowled that Super Over, and DC chased the target with the help of leg-byes and a boundary.

With this latest win, Delhi Capitals now boast 4 Super Over victories out of 5 appearances — the highest for any team in IPL history.
