Lucknow Super Giants suffered an eight-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals in Match 40 of the IPL 2025. KL Rahul, the former LSG captain, played a match-winning half-century for the Capitals. Rahul and Abhishek Porel guided the Delhi-based franchise to chase down a target of 160 runs with 13 balls to spare.
The review turned out to be a poor decision, as the ball was clearly going well outside the off-stump. Both ball-tracking and UltraEdge confirmed there was no chance of a dismissal.

Digvesh Rathi has impressed with the ball in his debut IPL season. The 25-year-old spinner was exceptional against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he took 1 wicket for 33 runs in 4 overs and helped LSG defend a total of 238. However, he bowled 4 overs for 24 runs without taking a wicket against Delhi.

Aiden Markram (52), Mitchell Marsh (45), and Ayush Badoni (36) were the top scorers, helping LSG post a total of 159/6, following a strong start. However, Pant’s poor form has drawn criticism, with this being his third duck of the season. The left-handed batter has only managed to score one fifty in nine matches.
