Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to begin their IPL 2025 campaign against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday in Visakhapatnam. Both the teams will be playing under new captains. DC will be led by their star all-rounder Axar Patel, having Faf du Plessis as the vice captain. On the other hand, LSG will be led by DC’s former skipper Rishabh Pant, who was purchased for an IPL record Rs 27 crore in the mega auction. With their major pace attack missing from the lineup, LSG will rely on their spinners for a turnaround in this game. However, with batters like Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, Pant, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and others, this match promises to be a run fest. (Live Scorecard)
