The Match Recap
Delhi Capitals, who were in deep trouble at 65/5, found an unlikely hero in Ashutosh Sharma, who lit up the Visakhapatnam stadium with an unbeaten 66 off just 31 balls. Debutant Vipraj Nigam added fireworks of his own, scoring 39 off 15, forming a crucial 55-run stand with Ashutosh that turned the tide.
After early dismissals of stars like Faf du Plessis (29) and Tristan Stubbs (34), DC were staring at defeat. But Ashutosh held his nerve, shifting gears from 20 off 20 balls to a blistering 46 off his final 11 deliveries, smashing five sixes in total.
With just six runs needed in the final over, DC’s No.11 Mohit Sharma survived a potential stumping, keeping hopes alive. The match concluded in style as Ashutosh launched Shahbaz Ahmed for a soaring six to finish the game.
Captain Axar Patel summed up the chaos with a grin:
“Be prepared for it now. Under my captaincy, things will be up and down a little.”
As Delhi celebrated, the spotlight returned to the LSG camp — not for their bowling effort, but for the body language in the Goenka-Pant post-match exchange. While the conversation’s content is unknown, the reactions online ensured it became a meme fest overnight.
Ashutosh’s match-winning knock and the viral off-field moment highlight the beauty — and unpredictability — of the IPL.
