Ashutosh Sharma produced a winning blow of the game under pressure to guide Delhi Capitals to an exciting victory of a Wickt over the super giants of Lucknow in his IPL 2025 opener in Visakhapatnam.
Upon arriving with the request rate and the fall of the Wickts regularly, Ashutosh initially fought to get in motion. After 20 balls, he had scored only 20 races. With the execution rate required by more than 12 for more and Delhi needs 62 of the 30 final balls, the game seemed to escape. But what followed was an incredible change.
Ashutosh suddenly found his rhythm and broke 46 races of his next 11 deliveries, ending undefeated in 66 of 31 balls. He reached the limits at will and timed his attack perfectly. The game ended with him by launching a six direct Shahbaz Ahmed to seal the victory with three remaining balls.

This entry occurred after DC had been reduced to 7 for 3 at the beginning of his persecution of 210. The debutant Vipraj Nigam provided impulse with a rapid shot 39 of 15 balls, but after his dismissal, it was Ashutosh who kept the nerve and saw the team at home.
Early in the day, LSG had published 209 by 8, with Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh scoring strongly. But DC bowling players defended themselves, and Ashutosh made sure that their effort was not in vain.

Rishabh Pant: “I thought the total was enough even though we lost impulse in the middle with the bat. They had two good associations with Stubbs and Ashutosh and then one more boy [Vipraj Nigam]. Luck plays a role, but we missed an ashutosh stump [where the lbw DRS showed the ball narrowly missing stumps]. We cannot continue thinking about it, this happens in the Cricket. “
FAF du plessis: “Incredible cryket game. People complain about the new rule [impact player]But that’s why the rule is there. When you think he’s lost, someone comes and wins for you. The extra dough really makes a big difference. As a player abroad, it is surprising to see the Indian boys enter and hit six powerful. I remembered Makhaya Ntini single in 438 Run-Chase when Ashutosh was at the end of the non-front and Mohit Sharma was on strike. “
