DC vs LSG IPL 2025: Visakhapatnam witnessed an all tiem classic as Delhi Capitals (DC) pulled off a miraculous one-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their IPL 2025 opener. Chasing 210, DC found themselves in deep trouble at 65/5, but an explosive 66 off 31 balls from Ashutosh Sharma turned the game on its head.
The chase started disastrously for DC, losing three wickets inside the first ten balls, including debutant Rishabh Pant for a six-ball duck in his highly anticipated return to LSG. Despite early setbacks, debutant Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15 balls) played a fearless knock, reviving DC’s hopes before Ashutosh took center stage. With DC needing 52 off the last four overs, he unleashed a flurry of boundaries, sealing victory with three balls to spare.
Earlier, LSG posted 209/8, powered by Nicholas Pooran’s 75 off 40 balls and Mitchell Marsh’s 72 off 38 balls. However, their bowlers faltered under pressure, failing to stop DC’s incredible counterattack.
This historic chase sets the tone for DC’s IPL campaign, proving their depth and resilience. Meanwhile, LSG will need to regroup quickly after letting a dominant position slip away in dramatic fashion.
