The 40th match of IPL 2025 will see the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground. The high-stakes clash is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM on Tuesday.
All eyes will be on LSG captain Rishabh Pant, whose form has been a concern this season. The left-hander has struggled to find consistency and will be under pressure to deliver a strong performance.
On the other side, Delhi Capitals will be banking on KL Rahul, who faces his former team for the first time this season. Rahul's performance will be closely watched, especially given the context of the rivalry. Meanwhile, DC will also be hoping for the return of veteran batter Faf du Plessis, who missed the previous match due to injury.
