IPL 2024 LSG vs DC Highlights: Delhi thrash Lucknow by six wickets

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: LSG's winning streak has ended and so has DC's losing streak in quite an entertaining fixture. Delhi fans got to see what their team can do if they get things right and they would hope that they now stick to this combination that they have landed upon at all costs. LSG fans won't be too worried, this is only a blip in what has been a  good season so far. Those who want to see Devdutt Padikkal do well might worry though, the only reasons he hasn't been dropped yet would be his past performances and the fact that LSG don't want to chop and change too much. Join us tomorrow when the Punjab Kings host the Rajasthan Royals. Goodnight!

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: “Was tough when I wasn't fit. Got injured first game and was difficult to see the team struggling in the middle overs. Credit goes to Patrick (Farhart) to maintain my fitness and get me ready quickly. All three were important wickets, it was crucial to get wickets in the middle overs to control the run rate. I liked the first and second wicket, I have played a lot against Pooran and the execution for that was right. I was clear with my plans, just the length matters for me as a spinner. Very clear and confident with my skills. Whenever I feel the DRS call is 50/50, I try to push for it but when it is more 60/40 then I tend to listen to Rishabh. As a bowler, you obviously want to take the DRS whevever possible. We've got 2 reviews, so obviously one is for me (laughs off).”

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: "We wanted a win badly. I was talking to the boys saying we need to think like champions, we need to keep fighting hard. (On bowling) We have phases where we are not up to the mark, some individuals have to take responsibility for that. However, we stick together as a group. Some things you can control, some things we can't. (On team combination) I think we are getting closer to the right XI, but we've had so many injuries in this group. However, you can't keep complaining about that. (On Fraser-McGurk) Hopefully, we've found our new number 3, haven't thought too much about it. Hope he can continue."

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: “If I want to be harsh, I think we were 15-20 runs short, we got off to a good start, we could have capitalised and got 180. There was a bit of help for the seamers, the odd ball kept low. Kuldeep made its use (and got those wickets.) The new guys when they come in, it's pretty unknown for us. He (Jake Fraser-McGurk) hit the ball well, credit to him. We always walk in with the same mindset, want to hit the right areas. We got Warner in the powerplay, got a couple of wickets after the powerplay. The set batters - Pant and McGurk took the game away from us after that dropped catch. We travel tomorrow and play an afternoon game (on Sunday). That's how the schedule goes, need to turn up, could be tough during Indian summers. In hindsight you can always wonder you could have done something different. There wasn't much spin after Axar's over, so I thought Pooran could have put some pressure on the opposition, if he was set. He would have been dangerous, but credit to Kuldeep for getting him out. He (Mayank Yadav) is feeling good, he looks good, but we don't want to rush him. We need to protect his body, he's itching to go. Need to make sure that he's hundred percent (fit) before he comes back.”
