IPL 2025: Pant believes LSG need to improve their basics after loss vs DC

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant felt his bowlers could have done the basics better at the back end as the target of 210 was defendable against a marauding Delhi Capitals who won by one wicket with three balls to spare in their IPL match on Monday. Ashutosh Sharma's 66 not out of 31 balls and Vipraj Nigam's 39 off 15 deliveries fashioned what looked like an improbable win after DC were dead and buried at 113 for 6. "I think our top-order batters played really well and I think it was a pretty good score on this wicket. We got early wickets, but we knew it was a good wicket to bat on. 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

I dedicated the year to mastering game finishes, says Ashutosh Sharma

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. Ashutosh was quick to highlight the role played by IPL debutant Vipraj Nigam as the duo changed the course of the game after Delhi Capitals found themselves down and out at 113 for six chasing 210. It was the contentious Impact Player rule that allowed Ashutosh to play the innings of his life. He changed gears dramatically after collecting 20 runs off the first 20 balls he faced. The last 1

IPL 2025: Karun Nair looks to replicate domestic cricket success for DC

After a dazzling show in domestic cricket where he excelled in different formats, premier batter Karun Nair is confident of reclaiming his India cap but won't speculate much on his comeback to the national fold. Nair also wants to carry his spectacular form into the upcoming IPL season and help Delhi Capitals win their maiden title. A vital cog in Vidarbha's wheel, Nair has been in ravishing form in domestic cricket. He relished a record-scripting run in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he smashed 779 runs in nine games, laced with five centuries and one fifty at a mind-boggling average of 389.50 and carried the momentum into red-ball cricket. The unbeaten 132 on the fourth day of the Ranji Trophy final against Kerala was his fourth ton in the tournament, where he amassed 860 runs at 57.33. "I have been playing cricket for a while, I have seen ups and downs and it's all about how you comeback from the downs and treat the ups. I have learnt how to react to those situations,"N

Early wickets of Shafali, Lanning turned the match for us: MI coach Edwards

Mumbai Indians head coach Charlotte Edwards said the early wickets of Delhi Capitals' skipper Meg Lanning and opener Shafali Verma helped her team win the Women's Premier League final here. Lanning (13) and Shafali (4) departed with just 17 runs on the board as DC ended up at 141 for nine while chasing 150. 150, we knew we were a little bit light, but in a final, it's always worth a little bit more. Shafali didn't come out like she normally does, and I knew straightaway that potentially we were in with a chance, because if we could get her wicket, Edwards said in the post-match press conference on Saturday night. Edwards said the Capitals were a bit cagey in their chase, and it made things easier for her side. It probably fell in our hands a little bit that we were a bit short, and potentially they went about it a bit slower than they normally do. The opening partnership of Lanning and Shafali has been our curse over the last few years, if I'm honest, so I was really pleased to se
