Today on 22 April 2025, Lucknow Super Giants are going to face Delhi Capitals in IPL. This match will be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, and all eyes will be on KL Rahul once again. His team’s expectations are very high from Rahul, who captained Lucknow last season, and he is ready to prove himself against his old team.
Points table position – Talking about the points table, both Lucknow and Delhi have 10 points. Delhi has played 7 matches, while Lucknow has played 8 matches. In such a situation, Lucknow would like to strengthen its position in the points table by winning this match. This match will be played on the red soil pitch of Ekana Stadium. Lucknow Super Giants recently played on a similar pitch against Punjab Kings, in which they lost by 8 wickets. After this match, LSG mentor Zaheer Khan had said that it seems that the curator of Punjab had prepared this pitch, which proved to be challenging for them.
Key players – In this match, all eyes will also be on Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi and Delhi Capitals’ Vipraaj Nigam. Both have performed brilliantly in the IPL so far. Digvesh Rathi has taken 9 wickets, whose average is 26.44. At the same time, Vipraaj Nigam has also taken 9 wickets, but his average is 27. Both bowlers can prove to be important for their team in this match.
Abdul Samad’s form – Abdul Samad has batted brilliantly for Lucknow Super Giants in the last few matches. Coming as a finisher in the lower order, Samad has scored 111 runs at a strike rate of 222. In the last match, he hit four sixes to Sandeep Sharma in the last over against Rajasthan Royals and scored 30 runs in 10 balls. In this match too, LSG will have a lot of expectations from Samad.
Mayank Yadav’s return – When the Lucknow Super Giants team takes the field, everyone’s eyes will also be on Mayank Yadav. Mayank was injured for a long time, but recently he has joined LSG after getting fit. It will be interesting to see whether he will be available to play in this match against Delhi Capitals.
