<p>Just when it looked like Rishabh Pant was getting back in form, he played an inning that confused many people. Fans cheered when he hit those big sixes, but between those moments, the silence of dot balls spoke louder than the boundaries.</p>
<p>On Monday (Apr 15), Lucknow Super Giants Skipper, Pant scored 63 runs off 49 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. His knock showed signs of returning to form as previously he had managed to score just 40 runs in his last five innings. But even with his highest score of the season, his strike rate and approach came under the scanner.</p>

<p>After being put to bat first by CSK, LSG was off to a poor start. Khaleel Ahmed continued his first-over heroics in the season, getting opener Aiden Markram for just six in six balls at the conclusion of the first over, thanks to a fine diving catch from Rahul Tripathi.</p>
<p>CSK put another roadblock on LSG's path as Anshul Kambhoj got the big wicket of an in-form Nicholas Pooran for just eight in nine balls. LSG were 23/2 after four overs. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/mitchell-marsh">Mitchell Marsh</a> and skipper Rishabh Pant rebuild the innings, with both taking to the attack against pacers.

Pant made 63 in 49 balls. His innings was laced with four boundaries and as many sixes. After being put to bat first by CSK, LSG was off to a poor start. Khaleel Ahmed continued his first-over heroics in the season, getting opener Aiden Markram for just six in six balls at the conclusion of the first over, thanks to a fine diving catch from Rahul Tripathi. CSK put another roadblock on LSG's path as Anshul Kambhoj got the big wicket of an in-form Nicholas Pooran for just eight in nine balls. LSG were 23/2 after four overs. Mitchell Marsh and skipper Rishabh Pant rebuild the innings, with both taking to the attack against pacers. At the end of six overs, LSG was 42/2 in six overs, with Mitchell (22*) and Rishabh (6*) unbeaten. Pant hitting sixes in some style View this post on Instagram A post shared by IPL (@iplt20) LSG reached the 50-run mark in 6.3 overs, thanks to a reverse scoop by Pant that went for a six. The 50-run stand between the duo ended with Ravindra Jadeja getting Marsh clean bowled for 30 in 25 balls, with two fours and two sixes. LSG was 73/3 in 9.3 overs. At the end of 10 overs, LSG was 78/3, with Ayush Badoni (5*) joining Pant (28*). Pant eased off some pressure, hitting Matheesha Pathirana for two sixes, completing his first IPL 2025 fifty in 42 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes. The 18th over by Pathirana brought 18 runs for LSG. LSG ended at 166/7 in their 20 overs, with Pathirana getting Shardul Thakur (6) on the final ball.

IPL 2025: My back is fine now: LSG skipper Rishabh Pant after thrilling win over KKR

<p>KL Rahul has hit the ground running in IPL 2025, making an immediate impact after missing the Delhi Capitals' (DC) first two matches due to paternity leave. In his debut outing this season, Rahul smashed 15 off just 5 deliveries, and followed it up with a match-winning 77 off 51 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday&mdash;signaling a notable shift in intent and approach.</p>
<p>This new attacking mindset is a departure from the cautious <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/kl-rahul">KL Rahul</a> fans had seen in previous IPL seasons. Since 2019, he hadn&rsquo;t crossed a strike rate of 138.8 in any edition. His intent dipped notably in 2020 (129.34) and hit a low in 2023 (113.22). Despite piling up 520&ndash;670 runs in every full season (barring 2023 when he played only nine matches), his style was often criticized for lacking aggression.</p>

<p>Now, at DC and free from captaincy pressure that followed him during his stint with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Rahul seems revitalised.</p>

<p>His confidence was also visible during India&rsquo;s victorious <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/champions-trophy">Champions Trophy</a> campaign earlier this year, where he played a key dual role as wicketkeeper and finisher&mdash;scoring 140 runs in four innings without being dismissed in three, at a strike rate of 97.90, with five fours and five sixes.</p>
<p>In IPL 2025 so far, Rahul has already notched up eight boundaries and four sixes.

His tense on-field discussion with <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/lucknow-super-giants">LSG</a> owner Sanjeev Goenka made headlines and ultimately led to his release from the franchise.

<p>According to IPL regulations, teams must complete their 20 overs within 90 minutes. LSG fell behind schedule after the 19th over, forcing them to keep only four fielders outside the 30-yard circle for the final over &mdash; a penalty for exceeding the time limit.</p>

<p>&ldquo;This being the team&rsquo;s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, Rishabh Pant has been fined ₹12 lakh,&rdquo; the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/board-of-control-for-cricket-in-india">BCCI</a> said in a release.</p>
<h2>Trouble for Digvesh Rathi</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, LSG&rsquo;s rising star Digvesh Rathi has once again found himself in trouble for his on-field behaviour. The young spinner has been fined 50% of his match fees for a second successive breach of the Level 1 Code of Conduct under Article 2.5 &mdash; which deals with inappropriate or excessive celebration after a dismissal.</p>
<p>Rathi, who was previously penalised for an animated celebration against Punjab Kings, repeated a toned-down version of his 'notebook tick' gesture after dismissing MI&rsquo;s Naman Dheer. Despite being more restrained, the act still drew sanction from the match referee.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This marks his second Level 1 offence of the season, adding two more demerit points to the one he received during the April 1 match against Punjab Kings,&rdquo; the BCCI release added.</p>
<p>Come IPL mega auction, 25-year-old Rathi was picked up for INR 30 lakh ($35,000) from the uncapped players' pool and has been giving rich dividends on the investment made so far. Before the IPL, Rathi played just two T20s at the domestic level in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and had three wickets to his name.</p>

Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant has been fined $14,000 for maintaining a slow over-rate during their 12-run win over Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2025 clash on Friday (April 4). According to IPL regulations, teams must complete their 20 overs within 90 minutes. LSG fell behind schedule after the 19th over, forcing them to keep only four fielders outside the 30-yard circle for the final over — a penalty for exceeding the time limit.

Trouble for Digvesh Rathi Meanwhile, LSG’s rising star Digvesh Rathi has once again found himself in trouble for his on-field behaviour. The young spinner has been fined 50% of his match fees for a second successive breach of the Level 1 Code of Conduct under Article 2.5 — which deals with inappropriate or excessive celebration after a dismissal. Rathi, who was previously penalised for an animated celebration against Punjab Kings, repeated a toned-down version of his 'notebook tick' gesture after dismissing MI’s Naman Dheer. Despite being more restrained, the act still drew sanction from the match referee. “This marks his second Level 1 offence of the season, adding two more demerit points to the one he received during the April 1 match against Punjab Kings,” the BCCI release added. Come IPL mega auction, 25-year-old Rathi was picked up for INR 30 lakh ($35,000) from the uncapped players' pool and has been giving rich dividends on the investment made so far. Before the IPL, Rathi played just two T20s at the domestic level in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and had three wickets to his name. (With inputs from agencies)

IPL 2025: After Hardik and Riyan, Pant becomes third captain to be fined for slow over-rate; Digvesh penalised again!

<p>Mumbai Indians head coach <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/mahela-jayawardene">Mahela Jayawardene</a> described the decision to retire out <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/tilak-varma">Tilak Varma</a> during their clash against Lucknow Super Giants as a 'tactical' move, aimed at injecting fresh energy into the chase as the required run rate began to spiral out of reach.</p>
<p>Chasing a target of 204, MI's innings was a rollercoaster, featuring bursts of dominance before Lucknow&rsquo;s disciplined bowling brought the game to a nail-biting finish. With 29 runs needed off the final 12 balls, Tilak Varma was expected to deliver some late fireworks. However, after facing five dot balls in Shardul Thakur&rsquo;s penultimate over, the MI think tank decided to retire him out. Tilak walked back having scored 25 off 23 balls with just two boundaries, making way for <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/mitchell-santner">Mitchell Santner</a> in a bold move that drew mixed reactions from the cricketing world.</p>
<p>At the post-match press conference, Jayawardene explained the reasoning behind the unusual call. &ldquo;Tilak did well early on when we lost that third wicket and built a solid partnership with Surya. He was trying to accelerate but couldn&rsquo;t get going. Ideally, having spent time in the middle, he should have found that big hit. But with the asking rate climbing rapidly, I felt we needed someone fresh to take charge. It wasn&rsquo;t an easy call, but it was purely tactical,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>While Hardik couldn&rsquo;t deliver with the bat in the chase, he had already left a massive imprint on the game with the ball.

He returned to bowl the final over of the LSG innings and cleaned up tailender Akash Deep to cap off a sensational performance.</p>
<p>Jayawardene praised Hardik&rsquo;s tactical acumen with the ball. &ldquo;He used his experience brilliantly.

IPL 2025 | ‘Tactical call’: MI coach Mahela Jayawardene explains Tilak’s retire out move

<p><strong>IPL 2025, MI vs LSG Live:</strong> Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl first in Lucknow against LSG.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The decision was proven costly as LSG added 76 runs for the first wicket but then three quick wickets including two by Pandya put on the breaks. LSG, in the end, eventually managed to cross 200-run mark and posted 203/8 despite Pandya taking a five-for - a first by a captain in IPL history.</p>
<p>In reply, MI lost two early wickets at the top before Naman Dhir (24-ball 46) and SKY (43-ball 67) raised some hopes. After those wickets, MI's run-scoring became a bit slow.</p>
<p>Tilak Varma's 23-ball 25 was also a factor in MI's slow batting. Varma was eventually retired out in the penultimate over. Needing 22 off the last over, Pandya backed himself to get the job done and started with a six but that was the last of hits by MI.</p>
<p><span>Pandya, who scored unbeaten 28 off 16 balls, did try his best and took the game to 14 off last four balls but then he refused a single (possible double) on the third ball of the last over by Avesh Khan and in hindsight that proved costly.</span></p>
<p><span>MI eventually managed 191/5 in 20 overs and lost the match by 12 runs - It was their third loss of the season in four matches.</span></p>

MI vs LSG match scorecard: Rohit out injured as MI bowl vs LSG

IPL 2025, MI vs LSG: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya took a five-for but Lucknow posted 203/8. In reply, Mumbai managed 191/5 in 20 overs and lost the match by 12 runs. Cricket Sports

IPL 2025, MI vs LSG Live: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl first in Lucknow against LSG. The decision was proven costly as LSG added 76 runs for the first wicket but then three quick wickets including two by Pandya put on the breaks. LSG, in the end, eventually managed to cross 200-run mark and posted 203/8 despite Pandya taking a five-for - a first by a captain in IPL history. In reply, MI lost two early wickets at the top before Naman Dhir (24-ball 46) and SKY (43-ball 67) raised some hopes. After those wickets, MI's run-scoring became a bit slow. Tilak Varma's 23-ball 25 was also a factor in MI's slow batting. Varma was eventually retired out in the penultimate over. Needing 22 off the last over, Pandya backed himself to get the job done and started with a six but that was the last of hits by MI. Pandya, who scored unbeaten 28 off 16 balls, did try his best and took the game to 14 off last four balls but then he refused a single (possible double) on the third ball of the last over by Avesh Khan and in hindsight that proved costly. MI eventually managed 191/5 in 20 overs and lost the match by 12 runs - It was their third loss of the season in four matches. Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians match scorecard

IPL 2025 | LSG vs MI match scorecard - Lucknow beat Mumbai by 12 runs despite Pandya five-for

<p>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had nothing going on for them in their match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) as they lost their first home game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season by eight wickets and 22 balls remaining. The two wickets they took while defending a modest 172 belonged to Digvesh Rathi - a rookie spinner playing only his third IPL game ever.</p>
<h2><strong>Who is Digvesh Rathi?</strong></h2>
<p>Rathi caught the attention during the Delhi Premier League last year before the mega auction while playing under his LSG teammate Ayush Badoni. He picked 14 wickets in the tournament and was subsequently recommended to the franchise as an option to look into the auction.</p>

<p>The leggie has picked up five wickets in three games already and that too at an economy 8.41 which is good enough given how the runs have been scored in this season.</p>
<p>Before the IPL, Rathi played just two T20s at the domestic level in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and had three wickets to his name.</p>
<h2><strong>BCCI punishes Rathi for breach of Code of Conduct</strong></h2>
<p>Rathi, however, got a bit carried away with his first wicket of the night when he dismissed his Delhi teammate Priyansh Arya. The spinner went to him and pretend writing his name in notebook during the celebration - a move Virat Kohli had done against West Indies pacer Kesrick Williams in a T20I in 2019.

IPL 2025 | Uncapped spinner Digvesh Rathi, only LSG bowler to take wickets vs PBKS, punished by BCCI - Read Why

<p>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) mentor Zaheer Khan has been left disappointed by pitch dished out at their home ground by the curator. The disappointment came after LSG lost their first game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season by eight wickets and 22 balls left against Punjab Kings. Zaheer, however, hoped that they'll be able to figure it out.</p>
<p>"What was a little disappointing for me here&hellip;" Zaheer said at press conference after the loss on Tuesday (Apr 1). "Considering it's a home game and in IPL you've seen how teams have looked at taking a little bit of home advantage, from that point of view you've seen the curator is not really thinking that it's a home game. I think maybe it looked like, you know, it was Punjab curator out here.</p>

<p>This is not the first time home advantage and pitch curator not helping has been talked about out loud this season. Earlier, KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane had also voiced same concerns regarding the pitch at Eden Garden in Kolkata.</p>
<p>LSG, however, have more to worry about than getting the pitch right and first of those worries is skipper Rishabh Pant's form. The wicketkeeper-batter, bought for INR 27 crore (&gt;$3 million approx) has not been able to get going in the tournament so far.</p>
<p>In the three matches played, Pant has scores of 0, 15 and 2 - and this poor batting has been a big factor in LSG's two losses in three games.</p>
<p>Their batting has been relying on Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran so far. In the match against PBKS, Marsh got out on a duck and Pooran scored 44 off 30 balls - around 30 runs less than what he had scored in the last two games. Pant said after the match that's how much they were short while setting the target.</p>
<p>But it is not only Pant who has been out form, Aiden Markram at the top has scored 15, 1 and 28 runs in three games; David Miller hasn't been able to finish well, managing 27 not out, 13 not out and 19 in three games; Ayush Badoni has managed 4, 6 and 41 runs in those games.</p>
<p>So it is more about batting than pitch for LSG at the moment and they need to figure it out soon.</p>

IPL 2025 | Mentor Zaheer calls out curator after LSG lose home game but fault lies in their batting

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/shardul-thakur">Shardul Thakur</a> has spoken out in favor of creating pitches that give bowlers a 'fair and square chance' rather than favoring batters, a trend he feels has been prevalent in the Indian Premier League.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Speaking ahead of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/lucknow-super-giants">Lucknow Super Giants</a>' (LSG) first home game of the season against <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/punjab-kings">Punjab Kings</a>, Thakur emphasised the need for balanced pitches that don&rsquo;t favor one side. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not just about what I want, it&rsquo;s what bowlers as a whole want,&rdquo; Thakur said. &ldquo;A lot of bowlers may not be outspoken or have the chance to speak up about pitch conditions, but all we&rsquo;re asking for is a level playing field.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Thakur explained that bowlers are simply seeking conditions where the game feels balanced, and batters aren't just coming in and dominating with big scores. "We just want a fair chance to bowl and get wickets," he added. "The pitch should not be tilted heavily in favor of the batters, giving them the advantage to smash us."</p>

<h2><strong>'Preparation is key'</strong></h2>
<p>In IPL 2025, high-scoring games have been common, with six matches surpassing 200 runs already. In one of the games, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 286/6. While Thakur expressed some reservations about the Impact Player rule, he believes that the real issue lies with the pitches.</p>
<p>"We&rsquo;ve seen the impact of the new rule, where teams can play an extra batter. The rule brings entertainment, but the big scores aren&rsquo;t just because of that change," he noted. "The pitches also play a big part. We, as bowlers, just want a fair chance to get batsmen out.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Thakur, who joined LSG as a replacement player, has quickly become the team's poster boy and their leading wicket-taker with six wickets from two matches, maintaining an economy rate of 8.83. He attributes his success to his preparation and understanding of his game. 'Preparation is key', Thakur said. "It&rsquo;s all about knowing how to bowl depending on the pitch conditions, the match situation, and which batter you're facing."</p>
<p>Despite a series of injuries in the team, with Mohsin Khan and Mayank Yadav sidelined, Thakur insists the team must focus on what is available rather than what is missing. "We have the bowlers available to us, and we have to focus on that," he said.</p>
<p>"In the IPL, all 25 players in the squad are equal. Past performances may earn players more opportunities, but when you step onto the field, it&rsquo;s about your confidence, your preparation, and how you perform on that particular day," he signed off.</p>

IPL 2025: KKR vs LSG rescheduled to April 8 owing to Ram Navami festivities

<p>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter Nicholas Pooran, in the two matches played so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, has become a menace for bowlers. The batter has faced only 56 balls in total but managed to hit 145 runs off them at a sensational strike rate of 258.</p>
<p>Pooran has also hit 13 sixes in two matches or roughly one every four balls. This is in stark contrast to his 2021 IPL season where he could manage only five sixes in 76 balls he faced in 11 innings. The batter, when asked about his prowess, seemed very casual and dismissed working on his bat speed especially to hit sixes.</p>

<p>"I've never worked on my bat speed, I'm just blessed with incredible talent," he said after his match-winning 26-ball 70 against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday (Mar 27).&nbsp;</p>
<p>"I am really happy that I have put in the work over the years, and I am getting the reward on the cricket field and winning games for my team as well," he added as LSG won the match by five-wickets - their first win of the season after losing the first game by one wicket against Delhi Capitals.</p>
<p>"I just try my best to get in good positions and if it's there, just time the ball nicely. In the last nine years, I have been working on my craft.

It is really important to cash in when the wicket is nice and obviously when the match-up is there you try your best to execute your skills," Pooran further explained.</p>
<p>The batter has come of age for LSG since playing for the first time in 2019. He scored 499 last year in 14 games at a strike rate of 178 but given his form in the two games, he'd bound to break many more records.</p>

Pant was dismissed on first ball of 15th over - but on a waist-high no ball - or that's what everybody though before the third umpire ruled him out.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Prince Yadav?</strong></h2>
<p>Prince rose to prominence on the back of his performance in Delhi Premier League (DPL) while playing under his LSG captain Rishabh Pant. He finished with 13 wickets in 10 games and was subsequently awarded a white-ball debut for Delhi.</p>
<p>Although, Prince had played two Ranji Trophy games for Delhi in the past - this time he was given a longer rope. He featured in all eight games for Delhi in SMAT and picked up 11 wickets with a best of 3/36 and an economy of 7.54.</p>
<p>A day after he played his first SMAT game where he took wickets of Sameer Rizvi and Nitish Rana, he was bought by LSG in the IPL auction.</p>
<p>With Mayank Yadav and Avesh Khan being out due to injury in LSG's season opener - he made his debut but an unforgettable one. The franchise, however, showed faith and he responded with probably biggest wicket of his career so far.&nbsp;</p>

IPL 2025, LGS vs SRH: Prince clean bowled Travis Head - one of the most dangerous T20 batters in the world - on the very first ball he bowled to the batter. Cricket Sports

Prince Yadav had not played a single T20 game even at first-class level before 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and in IPL 2025 match against SunRisers Hyderabad, he clean bowled Travis Head - one of the most dangerous T20 batters in the world - on the very first ball he bowled to the batter. Prince is playing for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2025 and after going for 47 runs in four over during his first game against Delhi Capitals, he showed why LSH spent INR 30 lakh ($35,000) for him in the mega auction last year.

He then fired in a fuller ball on the stumps and Head's stumps lie on the ground - shattered.

IPL 2025: 'These things...,' LSG skipper Pant not focusing on missing match-winning stumping vs DC

<p data-start="0" data-end="233" class="">Following their thrilling win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the ongoing Indian Premier League, Delhi Capitals (DC) pacer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/mitchell-starc">Mitchell Starc</a> praised skipper <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/axar-patel">Axar Patel</a> for his composure and remarkable evolution into a 'dominant all-rounder' on the international stage.</p>
<p data-start="235" data-end="486" class="">Axar's captaincy debut for DC began on a high note as his team overcame a shaky start while chasing 210 runs. Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam played heroic knocks, guiding DC to a dramatic one-wicket victory that will be remembered for a long time.</p>

<p data-start="488" data-end="905" class="">Speaking after the match, Starc lauded Axar&rsquo;s leadership, saying, "He has been incredibly calm. This is my first time sharing a dressing room with him, and having previously faced him on the field, it&rsquo;s impressive to see how he has developed into such a dominant all-rounder. His intent with the bat tonight was crucial in setting the tone for our chase. He has been fantastic."</p>
<h2 data-start="488" data-end="905">'Wealth of knowledge in our group'</h2>
<p data-start="907" data-end="1049" class="">Starc also highlighted the abundance of leadership experience within the squad, pointing to veterans like Faf du Plessis and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/tristan-stubbs">Tristan Stubbs</a>.</p>
<p data-start="1051" data-end="1511" class="">"Faf has captained extensively in both international and franchise cricket, and we have a great blend of seasoned leaders. Tristan Stubbs, who has been with the team for a while, also brings valuable experience. There is a wealth of knowledge in our group. Axar&rsquo;s calm and composed approach is evident, and hopefully, that mentality spreads across the team. Wins like tonight, where we fight until the end, will only make us stronger moving forward," he added.</p>
<p data-start="1051" data-end="1511" class="">Coming to the match, DC won the toss and opted to bowl first. While DC got Aiden Markram for cheap (15 in 13 balls), Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran made sure DC regretted their decision to put LSG to bat, smashing their bowlers with towering sixes and elegant boundaries.

Cricket, Sports: Axar's captaincy debut for Delhi Capitals began on a high note as his team overcame a shaky start while chasing 210 runs against Lucknow Super Giants

Following their thrilling win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the ongoing Indian Premier League, Delhi Capitals (DC) pacer Mitchell Starc praised skipper Axar Patel for his composure and remarkable evolution into a 'dominant all-rounder' on the international stage. Axar's captaincy debut for DC began on a high note as his team overcame a shaky start while chasing 210 runs. Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam played heroic knocks, guiding DC to a dramatic one-wicket victory that will be remembered for a long time.

This is my first time sharing a dressing room with him, and having previously faced him on the field, it’s impressive to see how he has developed into such a dominant all-rounder. His intent with the bat tonight was crucial in setting the tone for our chase. He has been fantastic." 'Wealth of knowledge in our group' Starc also highlighted the abundance of leadership experience within the squad, pointing to veterans like Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs. "Faf has captained extensively in both international and franchise cricket, and we have a great blend of seasoned leaders. Tristan Stubbs, who has been with the team for a while, also brings valuable experience. There is a wealth of knowledge in our group. Axar’s calm and composed approach is evident, and hopefully, that mentality spreads across the team. Wins like tonight, where we fight until the end, will only make us stronger moving forward," he added. Coming to the match, DC won the toss and opted to bowl first. While DC got Aiden Markram for cheap (15 in 13 balls), Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran made sure DC regretted their decision to put LSG to bat, smashing their bowlers with towering sixes and elegant boundaries. Both had an 87-run stand for the second wicket, with Marsh gone for 72 in 36 balls, with six fours and six sixes. During the run-chase, DC lost half their side for 65 runs. Ashutosh then had a 48-run stand with Tristan Stubbs (34 in 22 balls) and Vipraj (39 in 15 balls).
