Tue Apr 22 15:30:00 UTC 2025: **Delhi Capitals’ Mukesh Kumar Stars in Thrilling IPL Match Against Lucknow Super Giants**
**Lucknow, India -** Delhi Capitals’ Mukesh Kumar delivered a sensational bowling performance, claiming four crucial wickets in a match-defining final over to restrict Lucknow Super Giants to 159/6 in their IPL 2025 clash at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium on Tuesday.
Winning the toss and electing to bowl, Delhi made early inroads into the LSG batting order despite a strong start from Aiden Markram (52 off 33) and Mitchell Marsh (45 off 36). However, Kumar’s masterful death bowling, including a searing yorker to dismiss Marsh, and two wickets in the final over, swung the momentum decisively in Delhi’s favor. Ayush Badoni (36 off 21) provided late fireworks for LSG, but Kumar’s accuracy proved insurmountable. His final figures of 4/33 earned him widespread praise. Mitchell Starc and Dushmantha Chameera also contributed with a wicket each.
With a challenging 160-run target, Lucknow will rely on their bowlers to defend the total on a pitch offering variable bounce. Delhi, boosted by their impressive bowling display, will aim to chase down the total and secure a victory.
