LSG vs DC Match Previews
Rishabh Pant will captain LSG, and following a disappointing previous season, he will be looking to make a strong comeback. The team boasts a formidable lineup of overseas players, including Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, and Nicholas Pooran. However, their bowling attack appears somewhat weak, with Mohammed Shami emerging as the most experienced option. With a slightly revamped squad, LSG aims to leverage the strength of its batting lineup to dominate its opponents.
Led by Axar Patel, the Delhi Capitals have retained the core players of their 2025 squad. Key players such as KL Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, Mitchell Starc, Karun Nair, and Abhishek Porel have consistently delivered stellar performances. After finishing in fifth place last season, DC will be eager to put up a formidable performance this year and secure a spot in the playoffs.
