A Thrilling Victory & Hilarious Banter
Delhi Capitals (DC) kicked off their IPL 2025 season with a heart-stopping one-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Visakhapatnam. Chasing 210, DC faced an early collapse at 7/3, but Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 66 and crucial cameos from Axar Patel (22) and Tristan Stubbs (34) sealed the deal. However, the real fun began after the match!
Kuldeep Yadav, batting at No. 9, scored just 5 runs but played a key role in a 21-run partnership. His unexpected boundary off Prince Yadav sparked a hilarious exchange with former DC skipper Rishabh Pant and current captain Axar Patel.
Pant cheekily remarked, “Single le raha tha, chauka maar gaya!” (He was trying for a single but hit a four!).
Kuldeep, with a straight face, replied, “Mera kaam tha single lena!” (My job was to take a single!), adding that the bowler gave him a loose delivery.
Pant and Axar burst out laughing, teasing, “He knows only one shot!” The trio’s camaraderie shone through, proving rivalry takes a backseat to friendship.
