IPL 2025: 3 Players to watch out for in LSG vs DC Match 40

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up to clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Lucknow on 22 April. Both teams are strongly in the race for the playoffs, and a win here will help either of them strengthen their position.

Currently, LSG are in fifth place with 10 points from eight games and a net run rate of +0.088, while DC are in second place with 10 points from seven games and a net run rate of +0.589.

In the last five matches between these sides, LSG have won twice, while DC have won three times—all three victories coming in the most recent encounters. Whether DC can continue their winning streak against LSG or not remains to be seen tomorrow.

3 Players to Watch Out for in the LSG vs DC Match 40

1. Nicholas Pooran (LSG)

This destructive Windies batter will be one of the players to watch in tomorrow’s game. He currently holds the top spot in the Orange Cap race, with 368 runs in eight innings at an average of 52.57 and a staggering strike rate of 205.58, including four fifties.

However, he has managed just 19 runs in his last two outings, so all eyes will be on him to see whether he can return to form against DC. His performance is crucial for LSG’s success, whether it’s setting a huge total or chasing down a big target in the second innings. 

His innings sets the foundation for the batters to follow, allowing them to build on the momentum and add more runs to the total.

2. Kuldeep Yadav (DC)

This left-arm wrist spinner will be key for DC once again, as he has been delivering consistently in this IPL season. In seven innings, Kuldeep Yadav has picked up 12 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 6.25. He is currently in second place in the race for the Purple Cap.

His role will be especially crucial during the middle overs, where taking wickets and containing runs can build pressure on the opposition. Notably, he hasn’t gone wicketless in a single match this season, and fans will be hoping to see him continue his consistency and effectiveness by adding more wickets to his tally.

3. Avesh Khan (LSG)

The Indian pacer stole the limelight in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) with his superb execution in the death overs. The way he used his variations, slower balls, and yorkers was a treat to watch for the LSG fans. Avesh was also named the Player of the Match for that performance (3/37).

He will be expected to deliver once again, especially since he has been showing some consistency. In seven innings so far, he has picked up eight wickets at an economy rate of 9.84. While the economy might seem a bit high, it's important to consider the phases in which Avesh bowls. Despite that, he will be a crucial factor in tomorrow’s game and key to LSG’s success.
