Owner issues official message after final-over thriller"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi Capitals pulled off a sensational one-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants in the 4th match of IPL 2025 on Monday, with Ashutosh Sharma delivering a breathtaking finish. Chasing 210 in Visakhapatnam, DC were reeling at 66\/5 when Ashutosh walked in and turned the game on its head with a stunning unbeaten 66 off just 31 balls.<\/p>\n<p>The final moments of the match were as dramatic as they come. With six runs needed off the final over and just one wicket in hand, it was No.11 Mohit Sharma on strike. A misjudged delivery from Shahbaz Ahmed nearly had Mohit stumped, but the ball grazed his pad and evaded wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. LSG went for a review, but replays showed it missing the stumps. On the next ball, Mohit scrambled a single to bring Ashutosh back on strike.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to his teammates post-match, Mohit revealed how Ashutosh was incredibly calm under pressure. \u201cWoh bola \u2018ek ball dunga, chakka maar dunga\u2019 (He said, I\u2019ll take one ball and hit a six),\u201d Mohit shared with a smile. And that\u2019s exactly what happened \u2014 Ashutosh hammered Shahbaz\u2019s next delivery straight down the ground for a six to complete one of the most thrilling wins in IPL history.<\/p>\n<p>What followed next also caught attention. Cameras spotted LSG captain Rishabh Pant in an intense discussion with team owner Sanjiv Goenka and head coach Justin Langer. Social media quickly lit up with memes and comparisons to the now-infamous IPL 2024 incident involving KL Rahul and Goenka after a loss, which had sparked speculation and controversy.<\/p>\n<p>However, this time, things were far more composed. The franchise later released an official video showing Goenka addressing the entire squad in the dressing room, lauding the team\u2019s efforts despite the result.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Intensity on the ground, camaraderie off it.
