This incredible win marks only the second time the Delhi Capitals have successfully chased a target exceeding 200 runs in IPL history. Their previous best chase was back in 2017 when they, then known as the Delhi Daredevils managed to chase down 209 runs against the Gujarat Lions.

Earlier, LSG scored 209/8 in 20 overs with standout performances from Nicholas Pooran (75) and Mitchell Marsh (72). However, the highly anticipated player Rishabh Pant, who was bought for Rs 27 crore failed to deliver in his debut game for LSG getting out for a duck after facing only six balls.

The Delhi Capitals' stellar performance in this match highlights their grit and talent under pressure, laying a solid groundwork for the rest of the IPL season.
