Delhi Capitals pulled off a dramatic and historic victory in their IPL 2025 opener against Lucknow Super Giants, chasing down a steep 210-run target to register their highest-ever successful run chase in the tournament’s history.
Key Highlights:
The electrifying contest at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam ended with a one-wicket win for DC, marking only the second time the franchise has chased a 200+ total in the IPL.
Ashutosh Sharma Stars in High-Stakes Chase
The standout performer of the match was Ashutosh Sharma, who played a match-defining knock of 66 runs, anchoring the middle order under pressure and ensuring DC remained in the hunt during the high-octane chase.
