Delhi Capitals (DC) registered a thumping win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Lucknow in the 40th match of the IPL 2025, and now, with this win, they are looking like a strong contender for the playoffs, currently sitting at the second spot with 12 points in eight games.
Although Mukesh Kumar won the Player of the Match award for his four-wicket spell, there were some significant batting performances also in that game. For LSG, Aiden Markram hit 52 (33) and Mitchell Marsh added 45 off 36.
While chasing for DC, Abhishek Porel hit 51 (36), and KL Rahul played an unbeaten knock of 57 off 42 to seal that win. Hence, some changes occurred in the leaderboard for the Orange Cap. Gujarat Titans’ (GT) Sai Sudharsan is still at the top spot with 417 runs in eight games.
LSG’s Nicholas Pooran had a chance yesterday to surpass Sai and reclaim the top spot, but he failed to score big and now remains in the second spot with 377 runs in nine games. GT’s Jos Buttler is in the third spot with 356 runs in eight games, and courtesy of yesterday’s 45-run knock, LSG’s Mitchell Marsh is now in the fourth spot with 344 runs in eight games.
Mumbai Indians’ (MI) Suryakumar Yadav is in the fifth spot with 333 runs in eight games. After a fifty yesterday, LSG’s Aiden Markram is now in the sixth spot with 326 runs in nine matches. KL Rahul played a fantastic knock in Lucknow and now sits at the seventh spot with 323 runs in seven games.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Virat Kohli is now at the eighth spot with 322 runs in eight games. Followed by him, in the ninth and tenth spots, Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) Yashasvi Jaiswal sits with 307 runs in eight matches, and GT’s Shubman Gill sits with 305 in eight games, respectively.
