"delhi-capitals"

After a dominant start to their campaign, SRH suffered a five-wicket defeat to Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, exposing the vulnerability of their explosive batting lineup. With an away game ahead, the onus will be on skipper Pat Cummins to lead a strong comeback.

Captain Rishabh Pant’s forgetful show with the bat and behind the stumps was one of the reasons for LSG’s defeat in the first game. And he needs badly to lead from the front.

Dhawan and Ashutosh played together at Punjab Kings (PBKS) last season, before the former announced his retirement from the game. Dhawan, who retired from all formats of cricket earlier this year, had been Ashutosh's mentor during their time together at Punjab Kings.

“My hard work pays off, so I am enjoying it. I was confident because it's part of the game. I was really confident about my ability. Just followed the basics and believed in my ability,” Ashutosh informed the media in the post-match media briefing.

Ashutosh Sharma walked in as DC's Impact Player with the score 65 for 5 in the seventh over. After the 13th over of the chase, DC were 116 for 6, needing 94 runs off 42 balls with four wickets in hand.

Head coach Jonathan Batty stepped up in defence of his team after suffering yet another heartbreak in a title clash despite being league stage table-toppers by brushing aside talks of a mental block within the Meg Lanning-led side.

Rahul captained the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the past three seasons but was released by the franchise before the auction. Delhi acquired him for Rs 14 crore after parting ways with their star wicketkeeper-batter and former captain, Rishabh Pant. However, Rahul will focus solely on wicketkeeping duties, as Delhi has appointed Axar Patel as their new captain for the season.

The all-rounder had stepped in to be DC's captain in IPL 2024 when his predecessor Rishabh Pant was not allowed to play in a crucial game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) due to an over-rate offence.
