Facing lsg

Lucknow Super Giants: Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson said he was heavily impressed by how Axar Patel stood up to put in impactful performances and propel his side Delhi Capitals (DC) to another clinical win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025.

At the BRSABV Ekana Stadium, Axar bowled his four overs upfront, with his figures reading 0/29. But more importantly, his economy rate was better than Kuldeep Yadav, who went wicketless in IPL 2025 for the first time.

With the bat, Axar stood up to apply finishing touches by hitting 34 not out off 20 balls, as DC completed the chase of 160 in 17.5 overs. All of this meant Axar was clearly the better skipper on display than his LSG counterpart Rishabh Pant, who was out for a duck after coming out to bat at number seven.
