IPL 2025 DC vs LSG Playing 11
Since 2023, KL Rahul has the third-lowest strike-rate among openers in IPL, and the second-lowest powerplay strike rate among openers. He could be pushed to the middle order this season.
DC played two home games in Visakhapatnam in IPL 2024, winning one and losing the other. Both games at the venue were won by the side batting first. Rishabh Pant last opened the batting in T20s in Nov 2022. In the IPL, he last opened in 2016.
Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to field first. During the toss, Delhi Capitals Axar Patel said “We are going to bowl first. It’s the dew factor, we don’t want to take any risk, that’s why we are bowling first.
I have played with Pant before, he knows me and I know him. We know our tricks. I have played a lot for the Capitals, we have a well-balanced side. There’s dew sometimes, not always.
I have been with DC since three years, I have been with the leadership group. I need to work accordingly. Need to think like a leader. Faf du Plessis, Stubbs, Starc and Fraser McGurk are our four overseas”.
On the other hand, LSG captain Rishabh Pant said “I wanted to bowl first but It’s a good wicket so we can bat well and put up a good score. I have played for DC all my life, so a lot of emotions there. Preparations have been well, everyone is in the right shape and in the right frame of mind. Markram, Marsh, Pooran and Miller are our four overseas players”.
