Ashutosh Sharma will forever remain indebted to his former franchise Punjab Kings' skipper Shikhar Dhawan, whose "life lessons" will stay with him 'forever". The 26-year-old played a sensational unbeaten innings of 66 off 31 balls, smashing five fours and five sixes to steer Delhi Capitals in a thrilling chase of 210 against Lucknow Super Giants despite being 65/5 at one stage.

We had to keep doing the basics right more often. I think they had a couple of good partnerships," Pant said at post-match presentation ceremony. He lauded DC player Tristan Stubbs, who set the dice rolling before it was carried on by Ashutosh and Vipraj. "One with Stubbs, with Ashutosh and one with one other guy (Vipraj Nigam.) I think he (Nigam) did a pretty good job and took the game away fr
Ashutosh Sharma says he spent the whole year visualising the finishing line after pulling off a miraculous heist for Delhi Capitals against Lucknow Supergiants in Visakhapatnam. Ashutosh attracted attention with his exemplary finishing skills last season when he turned up for Punjab Kings. However, he did not leave the season a fully satisfied man as he did not meet his own expectations. It is early days in IPL 2025 but the 26-year-old, who plays for Railways in domestic cricket, was pleased with his stellar 66 not out off 41 balls that brought Delhi Capitals back from the dead on Monday night.
