Delhi Capitals Stun Lucknow Super Giants with Unbelievable Run Chase

Delhi Capitals orchestrated an astonishing run chase against Lucknow Super Giants, successfully pursuing a target of 210 with just three balls to go in the IPL 2025 clash. The spotlight was on star finisher Ashutosh Sharma, who hammered an explosive 66 from 31 deliveries, guiding DC from a precarious 65/5 to a thrilling one-wicket victory. The Capitals were in turmoil early on, losing three wickets within the first 10 deliveries, and wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals. However, debutant Vipraj Nigam’s lightning-fast 39 from 15 balls rekindled DC’s ambitions, setting the stage for Ashutosh’s remarkable finish.

In the first innings, Lucknow Super Giants posted a formidable 209 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs, with Nicholas Pooran’s blistering 75 and Mitchell Marsh’s dynamic 72 leading their innings. The pricy Rs 27 crore investment in Rishabh Pant by LSG turned out to be a disappointment in his debut, as he was dismissed for a six-ball duck. Delhi Capitals opted to bowl first upon winning the toss in their IPL 2025 opener against LSG.
