DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 Highlights: Ashutosh Sharma pulled the rug out from under LSG's feet

DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 Highlights: Ashutosh Sharma seems to have simply picked up from where he left off at the Punjab Kings, leading Delhi Capitals to victory almost single-handedly against Lucknow Super Giants in a chase of 210. Delhi Capitals' chase seemed to have been over even before it started as they lost half their side in just the first seven overs. Vipraj Nigam and Ashutosh Sharma gave them hope. Nigam smashed 39 in 15 balls and Ashutosh is now continuing the good fight for DC. He raised a half-century in 28 balls....Read More

Lucknow Super Giants got to a score of 209/8 in 20 overs despite being 161/2 in the 14th over at one point. DC put up an almighty squeeze after Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh's carnage ended. Pooran and Marsh put up a partnership of 87 runs in just 42 balls. Marsh scored 72 in 36 balls while Pooran made 75 in 30. Captain Rishabh Pant, however, fell for a duck on debut and it was all downhill for LSG with the bat from there.

Mitchell Starc's dismissal of the Marsh gave Delhi Capitals an opportunity to limit LSG to a chaseable total. Pooran smashed 75 in 30 balls but was cleaned up by Starc in the 15th over. Marsh was earlier dismissed for 72 off 36 balls by Mukesh Kumar.

Axar Patel earlier won his first toss as Delhi Capitals captain and chose to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants. KL Rahul's DC debut has been delayed, he is not available for this match against his former side. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul's moves were among the biggest headline-makers during the mega auction and they both start their time with their new sides with a game against the teams that let them go. Quite a poetic start for both big-ticket players and the two sides they are playing for this season. It has to be noted, though, that there are question marks over whether Rahul will play at all today.

Delhi Capitals are hosting the Lucknow Super Giants to start off their 2025 IPL campaign but the game isn't exactly happening in Delhi itself. Instead, it Visakhapatnam is the venue for today's game, making it the second consecutive year that the DC has chosen the port city as their secondary home.

On paper, LSG arguably boast the most dangerous middle order in the league but it will be interesting to see if they keep Pant in there or send him out earlier, even as an opener. The obvious opening choices are Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh but a lack of an opening domestic option could hurt them given their injuries. Chances are high that Pant will be batting at No.3, with the wicketkeeper-batter generally looking much more at home in the top order in limited overs cricket.

Nicholas Pooran, who will be hoping he doesn’t have to carry the hopes of the batting himself, will come in at No.4. He will also have the insurance of the big-hitting David Miller to come in after him. The batting could be rounded out at number six by Abdul Samad as the specialist finisher, with Ayush Badoni figuring as the floating pinch-hit option.

As stated earlier, it remains to be seen whether Rahul will make his debut for DC, with captain Axar Patel remaining non-committal in the pre-match presser. "Obviously, he joined the team and we all know that he has a personal problem. So, we don't know yet. So, if he comes back, we ask him if he is okay and we'll let you know tomorrow morning. I think we've got to know and so, now we don't know if he is available or not,” said Axar.

If Rahul plays, he will be slotting in at No.4. Surely the opening pair for DC is going to be Faf du Plessis and the dangerous Jake Fraser-McGurk. At number three, DC might opt to go with Abhishek Porel. Powerful South African Tristan Stubbs can be pencilled in at number 5, but DC will know the option of promoting Axar Patel, particularly on turning tracks, in a role he has played to perfection across formats for India.

Here are some pointers to DC vs LSG, IPL 2025:

- DC beat LSG by one wicket

- Ashutosh Sharma smashed a half-century in 28 balls

- LSG set a target of 210 for DC to chase

- Mitchell Marsh scored his half-century in 21 balls

- LSG 64/1 after six overs

- Axar Patel won the toss and DC are bowling first

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: ASHUTOSH WINS IT WITH A SIX! DC beat LSG by one wicket

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Slot ball from Shahbaz for the second delivery and it is hammered into the sightscreen by Ashutosh! He has done here for DC exactly what he did time and again for PBKS last season. Delhi Capitals have actually chased down a target of 210 after being 65/5 at one point. And about 90 per cent of the credit for that goes to Ashutosh Sharma, with the rest to Vipraj Nigam. The 55-run partnership between them for the seventh wicket, which came in 22 balls, suddenly pulled the rug from under LSG's feet. But even after Nigam fell, Ashutosh had a lot to do and he did it with aplomb. This might just be one of the greatest innings of the season.

Mar 24, 2025 11:17:15 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: SINGLE OFF THE SECOND BALL! Ashutosh is on strike!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Oh it's carnage out there in Vizag. Mohit misses the flick first ball, Pant misses a straightforward gather and knocks over the stumps. Or so it seems. Pant has reviewed it seems for an LBW. It isn't but the important thing is, it's a dot and Mohit stays on strike. However, Mohit taps the next ball to point and scrambles for a single. Ashutosh on strike now.

Mar 24, 2025 11:14:35 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: DC NEED 6 TO WIN FROM THE LAST OVER!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: But the catch is that Ashutosh won't be on strike. Mohit Sharma has to somehow get Ashutosh on strike as early as possible in the final over. Ashutosh is doing some wizardry here. Kuldeep hits the first ball of the 19th by Prince for four but he is run out off the third. Ashutosh runs two off the fourth ball to get to fifty in 28 balls. The fifth is smashed down town, Pooran dives but can't stop it from going for six. The last is a low full toss, Ashutosh sends it through midwicket for four!

He is at the non-striker's end on 60 in 30 balls, Shahbaz Ahmed to bowl the last over.

Mar 24, 2025 11:08:25 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: 17 RUNS IN THE 18TH! ASHUTOSH SHARMA!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Ashutosh goes 6, 4, 6 off the last three overs of that over by Bishnoi and keeps DC in it. They now need 22 to win from 12! The fourth delivery from Bishnoi is in the slot for Ashutosh and he hammers it down the ground for six clean as a whistle. Then he smashes the fifth over cover for four. The last is clobbered on to the sight screen. Ashutosh Sharma, what in the world are you made of?

Mar 24, 2025 11:07:17 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: OUT! Nigam falls!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Digvesh Rathi with the next twist in this match. Length delivery on leg, Nigam tries to flick it leg side but ends up getting a top edge. Short fine takes the catch comfortably. A brilliant innings comes to an end.

Nigam c Siddharth b Rathi 39 (15)

DC 168/7 in 16 overs

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Now 15 runs off the 15th!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Nigam is playing quite a knock here. Shahbaz Ahmed bowls the 15th, Nigam lofts the first ball away over cover for four. Two singles after that and then Shahbaz bowls the fourth ball wide outside leg. Nigam then sends the reloaded fourth ball downtown for six. Two singles after that.

Nigam on 30 off 11, Ashutosh on 20 off as many.

DC 148/6 in 15 overs

Mar 24, 2025 10:49:45 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: 17 runs in the 14th!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: There is life in this game yet. Bishnoi returns, Vipraj Nigam sends the first ball over backward point for four. Two singles after that and then Bishnoi tosses the fourth ball wide outside off, Nigam slaps him square for four. Then he smashes the fifth one over cover for a six. Takes a single and keeps strike.

DC need 77 to win from 36.

DC 133/6 in 14 overs

Mar 24, 2025 10:38:49 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: OUT! Siddharth sends back Stubbs!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Ok so what we ended having is sixes AND wickets. Stubbs hit the first two balls of that over for back to back sixes. Then he looks to just tap away the third and ends up being castled. Length delivery on leg that was by Siddharth and it spun in to beat Stubbs' flick.

Mar 24, 2025 10:38:18 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: DC need 109 to win from 48 balls

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Well something's got to give. Stubbs and Ashutosh have tried to squeeze out singles and doubles throughout the 12th over by Prince Yadav, just six runs in it and DC continue to sink. At the same time, LSG would know just how easily these two batters can flip the tables on them. So either sixes or wickets coming quite quickly and M Siddharth will either bear the brunt or benefit from the situation in the 13th over.

Mar 24, 2025 10:25:33 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: DC's required rate creeps above 11.50

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: We will have our first look at Prince Yadav now in the 10th over. Stubbs sends the first ball of the ninth bowled by Bishnoi over long off for a six. A single after that and then Ashutosh Sharma sends the third ball over cover for four. But that is all the runs that come from that over and it is not enough at the moment for DC.

DC 83/5 in 9 overs

Mar 24, 2025 10:14:40 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: GONE! Now Du Plessis falls

Mar 24, 2025 10:03:01 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Thakur brought back at last, Axar sends the first ball over a flying Miller at cover for four. Single off the next ball, and then Du Plessis clobbers the third ball straight on to the sight screen for a six.

Du Plessis on 21 off 13 at the end of that over, Axar on 18 off nine.

DC 45/3 in 5 overs

Mar 24, 2025 9:57:08 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: 15 runs in the fourth!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: The question needs to be asked, why on earth has Shardul Thakur been taken off here. Digvesh Rathi was brought in for the third over and Siddharth continues for the fourth. Axar smashes the first ball over mid off for a six. Then a single next ball and then two dot balls. The fifth is sent in on Du Plessis's leg, tonked back over the bowler's head for four. Then Du Plessis hits the last ball just over cover for another four.

Du Plessis on 14 off nine, Axar on 13 off seven.

DC 32/3 in 4 overs

Mar 24, 2025 9:48:49 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: OUT! This is a nightmare for DC

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: M Siddharth bowls the second over and he strikes as well! What is going on, here? This is a very good catch by Pant. His movement to the leg side left him wrong footed when Rizvi edged while trying drive the ball but managed to make it stick anywhow.

Rizvi c Pant b Siddharth 4 (4)

DC 7/3 in 1.4 overs

Mar 24, 2025 9:46:57 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: OUT! TWO IN 1ST OVER FOR THAKUR!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Lord Thakur, ignored initially in the auction but showing what he is really worth here. Length delivery fifth ball of that over, angling away from Porel, the batter tries to go over extra cover and sends it into the hands of mid-off. What a start this is for LSG.

Porel c Pooran b Thakur 0 (2)

LSG 2/2 in 0.5 overs

Fraser-McGurk c Badoni b Thakur 1 (2)

DC 2/1 in 0.3 overs

Mar 24, 2025 9:41:39 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: And we are back!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: All right DC's new opening pair of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis have walked out. Shardul Thakur to bowl the first over for LSG.

Mar 24, 2025 9:24:56 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Miller finishes it off with two sixes, LSG 209/8 in 20 overs

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Fielders were increasingly slipping and sliding as that innings went along and so there is a lot of dew there. Has this incredible late squeeze done the job for DC? Mohit Sharma bowls the last over. Miller swings away at everything and finally connects fifth ball, sends it over square leg for six. Then he hits the last one in front of square for another. That has taken LSG past the 200-run mark. They have got to a good score but the fact remains that LSG looked set for something over 250 before these last five overs.

Mar 24, 2025 9:20:49 PM IST

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: OUT! Starc gets his third!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Ravi Bishnoi castled. He tries to make room and play it on the off side, Starc fires in a yorker at the stumps and smashes 'em.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: OUT! Starc cleans up Pooran!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Oh yes, that's a typical Starc dismissal. Full delivery for the fifth ball of the 15th, it may have reversed a little. Pooran swings at it and misses the off stump is splat on the ground.

Du Plessis takes the catch at long off.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: 28 RUNS IN THE 13TH! NICHOLAS POORAN!

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Oh who wants to be a bowler in this universe. Tristan Stubbs brought in for the 13th over and Pooran gives him a nightmare. The first ball slog swept over square for six. Then he smashes the next ball right down the ground for another six that takes him past 50 in just 24 balls. Pooran hits the fourth on over long on for a third consecutive six. Then he smashes the fifth over extra cover for a fourth six in a row. The last one is drilled along the ground down the ground for a four. Wowza!

Pooran on 70 in 24 balls, Pant yet to get off the mark after two.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Mukesh Kumar the wickettaker. Back of a length delivery fourth ball of the 12th outside off, Marsh seems to be looking to keep his pull shot down but it takes the toe-end of the bat. Stubbs runs across from long on to take the catch.

This brings out LSG's new skipper Rishabh Pant on his debut for his side, against the side he played for until last season.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: We saw SRH rip the opposition bowlers a new one yesterday. Is that what we are going to see now from LSG? Mohit continues for his second over in the 11th.

LSG 125/1 in 11 overs

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Kuldeep Yadav brought on for the eighth over. Marsh takes a single second ball and then Pooran sweeps the third away for four. He goes for the same shot fourth ball but it turns sharpy away from him, missed. Pooran sweeps the fifth ball as well, Starc runs across from deep square leg but can't stop it from reaching the boundary. That takes this partnership past 50 in just 19 balls.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Axar has the dew factor in mind

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: “We are going to bowl first. It's the dew factor, we don't want to take any risk, that's why we are bowling first. I have played with Pant before, he knows me and I know him. We know our tricks. I have played a lot for the Capitals, we have a well balanced side. There's dew sometimes, not always. I have been with DC since three years, I have been with the leadership group. I need to work accordingly. Need to think like a leader. Faf du Plessis, Stubbs, Starc and Fraser-McGurk are our four overseas,” said Axar.
