IPL 2025, LSG vs DC: KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc and Nicholas Pooran, key players to watch out for in today’s game

The Lucknow Super Giants serve as the Delhi capital at Ekana Stadium at 7:30 pm on Tuesday. The two teams ranked fifth and second respectively, with five wins respectively. Although LSG played eight games, DC played one less game.

Host LSG, led by Rishabh Pant, won 2 matches in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals. The team has been relying on the Supreme Order, which includes Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. The lower-level placing clicker of Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad (such as Ayush Badoni) provides a powerful finish. However, Pant’s bad shape remains a concern.

The bowling department is in good shape with Pacers Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan and regularly wicket checks, while spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Digvesh Rathi have formed a partnership that batsmen find it hard to get out of the situation. Pacer Mayank Yadav, who has missed all the matches so far, may recover from injury.
DC, on the other hand, entered the game after losing to the Gujarat Giants 7 wickets. Visitors won with an impressive performance of the Intermediate Order led by KL Rahul, Captain Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs. The team will eagerly await the return of Faf du Plessis.

Bowling has always been a DC game, with Mitchell Starc and Mukesh Kumar doing their jobs brilliantly, whether it’s new balls or deaths. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have a hard time getting out of the way in the middle, and the addition of Vipraj Nigam gives a new dimension to this attack.

The winning team today will be ranked in the top 2 in the standings, enhancing the playoff chances.
