Lucknow Super Giants Skipper Rishabh Pant just couldn’t get it right in his battle against the former sides of Delhi Capitals, while Kl Rahul stole the reflector in returning to Lucknow and proved its value over price tags. In front of his old domestic crowd, Rahul organized a calm persecution to give a second victory over LSG this season with eight goals at the EKANA stadium 22 April.
In the game that emphasized the contrasting wealth of both captains, the frustrating season of Pant continued while Delhi left with two key points – forced them at the level with Gujarat Titans at the top of the IPL 2025 point. showed decisive factor.
IPL 2025, LSG vs DC: The most important
First, the LSG was a promising beginning of the 87-running opening stand between Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh. However, the middle order disappointed them again and could not build on this platform. When the hinge decided to delay his arrival in the fold, the momentum continued to slip.
Mitchell Starc, he continued his dominance over Nicholas PooranHe launched his collapse by dismissing a dangerous left -handed. The goals that followed have left LSG winding until Impact Sub Ayush Badoni’s Late 36 OFF 21 helped move a total of 159. Pant, walking only for the last two balls, was released on a duck—T is second against DC this season. From 87/1 to 10 to 159/6 to the end, this is where LSG lost the match.
Despite the premature rejection in the form of Karun Nair-part of the fourth opening combination in Delhi this season, Abhishek Porel took the lead with 51 out of 36 Kl Rahul to come to persecute with an uncompiled 57 of 42, 42. become the fastest player who has reached 5000 runs in IPL historyYV only 130 shifts. The DC shifts looked assured all the time, never let the desired rate sneak.
Axar’s bowling gambling come well
The bowling elections of Captain DC Axar patel picked up the eyebrows first, but eventually paid off. At first he decided to mix and Axar opened the attack himself and delivered two exceeding inside the powerplay. He strategically rotated his resources – at the beginning he soon recorded only one of the Starc, Mukesh Kumar and the debutant Dushmantha Chameer.
When Markram and Marsh were not known for their rotation, Axar bowed 7. Via and admitted only 29 runs. The delayed entry of Kuldeep Yadava – bought only after 11. He played a key role in breaking the rhythm of LSG and finally dismantled their middle order. This step was the best for Mukesh Kumar, who eventually won the match player for his 4/33 magic.
Pant’s Panic or missed opportunity?
Pant’s late entry, followed by a duck, was not the only decision that increased the eyebrows. When the LSG collapsed after their solid start, it was the ideal time for the captain to anchor the shifts. Instead, the hinge waited for the middle order to be packed – unlike Axar, which was promoted to No. 4 to stabilize the persecution of DC after the release of Abhisheka Porela.
She joined dubious calls and LSG decided to use Ayush Badoni as the first impact on the dive instead of Marsh. While Badoni’s late increase was valuable, it also meant LSG could not bring back Mayank Yadav In the second shift – a call that looked hastily in a retrospect. With Mayan’s pace asset on the Ekana pitch, its exclusion-especially when LSG limited the possibilities of rapid suppression-it got into 160 defense.
