In an intense IPL 2025 encounter, a moment of camaraderie between Kuldeep Yadav and Rishabh Pant provided a lighthearted break amid the pressure, even as Delhi Capitals edged closer to victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
A fun reunion in the middle
The amusing incident occurred when a mix-up left a batter scrambling to get back into his crease. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, instead of whipping off the bails immediately, playfully tapped Kuldeep Yadav on the back, sparking laughter among the players. Having shared the Delhi Capitals dressing room in previous seasons, the two players enjoyed a brief moment of nostalgia despite being on opposing sides.
Delhi Capitals on the verge of victory
With just six runs needed off the final over, Delhi Capitals find themselves in a thrilling chase after LSG posted 209/8 in their 20 overs. DC are currently at 204/9 after 19 overs, with Ashutosh Sharma playing a sensational knock of 60 off 30 balls, striking at 200.00. He has been the backbone of Delhi’s chase, smashing five fours and four sixes to keep their hopes alive.
Final over to decide the match
Mohit Sharma is at the crease alongside Ashutosh, yet to face a ball. Lucknow’s bowlers have struggled in the death overs, with Ravi Bishnoi conceding 53 runs in his four overs and Prince Yadav going for 47. With the match hanging in the balance, the final over will be a test of nerves for both teams.
As Delhi Capitals push for a dramatic finish, moments like Pant and Kuldeep’s playful exchange remind fans that cricket is not just about winning but also about the friendships built along the way.
