Delhi Capitals Clinch Thrilling One-Wicket Victory Over Lucknow Super Giants

Ashutosh Sharma's unbeaten 66 and Vipraj Nigam's explosive cameo powered a stunning comeback in a 210-run chase as Rishabh Pant's captaincy debut faltered.

Ashutosh Sharma smashed an unbeaten 66 off 31 balls, including a match-winning six, to lead Delhi Capitals to a dramatic one-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants.
Delhi recovered from a precarious 65/5, with debutant Vipraj Nigam contributing a vital 39 off 15 balls in a 55-run partnership with Sharma.
Lucknow's Nicholas Pooran (75 off 30) and Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36) set a strong total of 209/8, but the team faltered in the final overs under pressure.
Rishabh Pant's Lucknow captaincy debut was marked by a six-ball duck and questionable bowling choices, drawing scrutiny from team owner Sanjiv Goenka.
Mitchell Starc (3/42) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/20) were instrumental in restricting Lucknow's scoring in the latter stages of their innings.
