LSG vs DC Live Score: LSG 67/4 in 8 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: We have to wait for the hat-trick ball because it seems Kuldeep Yadav has literally broken the stumps, like great fast bowlers, often do. Except that he is a spinner. LSG have brought in Deepak Hooda as the extra batter, impact substitution for De Ko. The umpire also signals for a time out as we wait for new stumps. How many times have we seen a spinner breaking the stumps. Just to be clear though, the poles themselves are fine, they are not in pieces. It is just that there is just a plethora of lights and mics and bells and whistles in these stumps nowadays and it is those that have been damaged.

LSG vs DC Live Score: LSG 66/3 in 7.3 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul looking rather imperious today, which is never good news for any team, let alone one that is struggling as much as DC. Mukesh Kumar bowls the last over of the powerplay, bowls a short one on middle and off first up that Rahul clips past the wicketkeeper. Then he drive sthe second delivery past mid-off for another boundary. Two runs off the last two balls after that and Rahul has raced to 30 in 14 balls, Stoinis on two off three.

Second ball of the fifth, Khaleel and DC animatedly appeal for LBW and the umpire gives it. Padikkal takes the review, the delivery shaped in quicker than Padikkal was ready for, goes past his inside edge and smashes him on the pads. As plumb as they come.

Padikkal lbw b Ahmed 3 (6)

LSG vs DC IPL Live Score: LSG 41/2 in 4.2 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: Fourth ball of the fourth over from Ishant Sharma is angled into Devdutt Padikkal from around the wicket. Padikkal looks to clip that and it goes down to Pant, the umpire signals wide. Then we see a review for that call and the third umpire upholds it. At the end of it all Pant suddenly runs up to umpire Borde and has a long chat with him. The argument there initially seemed to be Pant saying that he never asked for the review. It later turns out that Pant was asking why the third umpire did not look at ultra edge as he thought there was an edge. However, the third umpire was convinced by the gap between bat and ball that he doesn't need the ultra edge. Rahul with a four to deep point off the fifth ball of that over and then two runs off the last. He is on 16 off seven, the struggling Padikkal has scored three in four.

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: Khaleed does get De Kock in the end. Big appeal for LBW off the fifth ball and the umpire gives it.

LSG vs DC IPL Live Score: LSG 17/0 in 2 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: Khaleel walks off with a wry smile on his face. In another universe, he has ended or started that over with a wicket. QDK slashes him just out of reach of the gully fielder off the first ball for a boundary. The batter is beaten with a full, almost yorker-length, delivery that swings away second ball and then a half-hearted appeal for LBW off the third. QDK sends the fourth ball between cover and point and takes two runs, then a dot ball and then the ball ricochets off his inside edge and just evades leg stump before running to the boundary.

IPL Live Score 2024 LSG vs DC, Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock walk out to open the innings for LSG. Khaleel Ahmed bowling the first over.
