Lucknow, April 22 (Hindustan Herald):
In a match where Delhi Capitals (DC) batters looked to take charge early, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) found a calm and effective performer in Digvesh Rathi, who delivered the most economical spell of the night in Match 40 of IPL 2025.
The young spinner bowled 2 overs for just 11 runs, with an economy rate of 5.50, and gave LSG a rare moment of control during DC’s aggressive powerplay.
