Tue Apr 22 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Capitals’ Mukesh Kumar Strikes Twice, Shifts Momentum in LSG Clash
**Lucknow, April 22 (Hindustan Herald):** Delhi Capitals’ bowler Mukesh Kumar delivered a match-turning spell during their encounter against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium today. With Lucknow comfortably positioned at 107/2 in the 14th over, Kumar dismissed both Abdul Samad and Mitchell Marsh in quick succession, dramatically shifting the momentum of the match.
Kumar’s double strike, achieved within four balls, exposed Lucknow’s lower middle order and disrupted their previously confident approach. Prior to this crucial over, Nicholas Pooran had been anchoring the innings for LSG. However, Kumar’s spell has handed the advantage to Delhi, forcing Lucknow to reassess their strategy for the final six overs.
With Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Starc yet to bowl their overs, Delhi Capitals now hold a significant tactical advantage. Kumar’s performance has revitalized the Delhi defense, as they aim to restrict Lucknow to a defendable total.
