The 48th match of IPL 2025 saw a different scene between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Between the exciting matches, the captains of both teams were injured. Akshar Patel of Delhi and Ajinkya Rahane of Kolkata had to leave the ground after being hurt. But after the match, when the two captains were seen hitting each other's injured hands, the fans also got a light moment.

However, the injury of the captains just before the playoff has become a matter of concern for both franchises.

Akshar Patel will be on rest for 3-4 days

Batting first, Kolkata scored 205 runs. In the 19th over, Delhi captain Akshar Patel diverted his finger skin in an attempt to stop a fast shot by Rowman Powell. After this he had to leave the field.

After the match, Akshar said:

“The skin of the finger was peeled while diving. It is a good thing that there is a 3-4 day break, expected I will be cured by then.”

However, despite the injury, he batted and scored 43 runs, but could not save Delhi from defeat. The team lost by 14 runs.

How serious Rahane's injury?

Kolkata may win the match, but Rahane's injury has put the team in tension. During the Delhi's innings, a strong shot of Faf Duplessis in the 12th over was straight on Rahane's finger. He went out of the field in pain.

After the match, Rahane said:

“The injury is not serious, hopefully I will get fit by the next match.”

This definitely brought some relief to KKR, as Rahane's experience and captaincy are very important for the playoffs.

It is not necessary to sweat for hours to stay fit, just follow this perfect routine
