LSG vs DC Highlights: The Delhi Capitals have registered a win at last. After claiming just one win from their five matches, the Rishabh Pant-led side has tasted victory once again. Chasing 168 at the usually low-scoring Ekana Cricket Stadium, the Capitals made short work of the target, winning the match with 6 wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.
Pant’s on fire
Another masterful inning by Rishabh Pant. The wicketkeeper ended his 41-run knock with the highest strike rate for the Delhi Capitals. Making his return, Pant rolled back the years with his trademark reverse scoop. He had hit the same shot against the legendary James Anderson in 2021 and did so again, marking his official comeback. However, his biggest achievement was getting to 3000 IPL runs, being the quickest to do so (2028 balls).
