IPL 2025 DC vs LSG Highlights: Ashutosh Sharma Snatches Victory from the Jaws of Defeat

DC vs LSG, the fourth match of the IPL 2025, has concluded with Delhi Capitals winning a thriller by 1 wicket at Visakhapatnam against Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants. Last season’s sensation from Punjab, Ashutosh Sharma, snatches the victory from the jaws of defeat with his outstanding 66 runs off just 31 balls in the 210 chase. The 20-year-old Vipraj Nigam also played a crucial knock of 39 runs in the middle with a 260.00 strike rate. 

After losing early wickets, Delhi Capitals seemed unlikely to cross the finish line, but young guns Ashutosh and Vipraj had other plans. Vipraj showcased his talent with 39 runs off just 15 balls, including 5 fours and 2 sixes, and after he got out, Ashutosh flexed his muscles with 66 runs off 31 balls, including 5 sixes and 5 fours, to take DC over the line.
