IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals return to winning ways in IPL 2025, by defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets in Match 40 of IPL 2025. With the win, DC have now stepped closer to playoff qualification, and will be looking to target a finish inside the Top 2.
Even though DC displayed a dominant show with the bat, by chasing 160 inside 18 overs, it was Mukesh Kumar who grabbed headlines for his four-wicket haul, as his excellent line & length left LSG batters bamboozled.
Here's What Mukesh Kumar Said On DC's Win Vs LSG
"I am feeling really good. I loved bowling on this wicket. When I came to bowl the 2nd over, I had a chat with Chameera and Starc I got to know that the ball was stopping a bit. I just wanted to bowl length to length and also use my variations."
"I always have a chat with the skipper. He was suggesting me to bowl in a particular length. He suggested me to bowl slower deliveries in between and I did exactly that."
"(Which was his favourite wicket tonight?) Um, the most important wicket was of Mitchell Marsh because he was set in the middle and he would go hard. So, it was very important to get his wicket for my team."
"Regarding this match, I am really happy. I wanted to perform like this for my team. It wasn't happening in the first half of the season but it happened tonight. I want to carry forward with this performance."
