Lucknow Super Giants set a 160-run target for Delhi Capitals at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow in their IPL 2025 clash. Openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram did give the hosts a good start to the innings and put them at 87 runs within 10 overs. As Markram departed, LSG still looked like they would be setting up a mammoth total on the night.
However, with the Orange cap contender Nicholas Pooran sent back cheaply by Mitchell Starc, it was followed by a string of wickets courtesy of Mukesh Kumar's brilliant which saw 2 wickets being taken. LSG skipper Rishabh Pant decided to demote himself in the batting order for reasons unknown as Ayush Badoni was introduced as an impact player at number 6.
Fans and pundits were trying to find the reason for the decision but couldn't figure it out other than the fact that he is not in a good run of form at the moment. However, a player of his calibre shouldn't be stopping himself becaus of a string of bad results.
The visuals also showed Pant walking back and forth in the dugout with his helmet on till the 18th over, showing that the decision did have him a little tense on the night. Pant did come out to bat for the last two balls and went for a duck on the very last ball courtesy of Mukesh Kumar.
In the end, it was Ayush Badoni whose 36-runs steered the side to a respectable total on the night.

Donovan Ferreira ahead of the clash: It’s really important for us to get the momentum back, it’s important to learn from our mistakes and taking what we have done well in the tournament so far and getting into the second half of the tournament, I think it’s a good start, we are going to win today. The messaging has been clear, the coach has put a lot of trust in the players. We are trying not to get too high and not too low, stay humble and take the next challenge that comes our way. Their batting has been quite good, so striking early will be important. We have to assess the conditions, this is an away venue so it’s important to throw the first punch but we also need to play smart cricket and take advantage when we are on top of the game.
