DC vs LSG – Who Will Rule the City of Destiny?
DC vs LSG head-to-head stats, IPL 2025: How Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants fared in Vizag? All you need to know before this explosive showdown in Visakhapatnam — or as cricket fans lovingly call it, Vizag aka “where plot twists are born.”
As both franchises strut into IPL 2025 with new captains, tweaked squads, and a healthy dose of anticipation, the upcoming match at ACA-VDCA Stadium is anything but ordinary. For starters, it’s the first time Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants will meet in this coastal cauldron.
New Leaders, New Vibes
Gone are the days of Pant behind the stumps for Delhi and KL Rahul leading the LSG bandwagon. Instead:
- DC Captain: Axar Patel – The left-arm all-rounder now steers the Delhi ship. Will he bring guile, grit, or guacamole to the captaincy? Too early to tell, but we’re hopeful.
- LSG Captain: Rishabh Pant – Yes, you read that right. The former DC skipper is now the face (and voice) of the Super Giants. Irony just got its IPL debut.
DC vs LSG Head-to-Head Stats: A Rivalry in the Making
Let’s be honest — DC vs LSG isn’t a century-old rivalry (yet), but it’s spicy enough for the cricketing palate. So far:
- Matches Played: 5
- LSG Wins: 3
- DC Wins: 2
That’s right, LSG holds a slender edge. But with both teams under fresh leadership, the script is wide open.
Last season (IPL 2024), Delhi had the last laugh with a 19-run victory. Will history repeat itself? Or will Pant unleash his inner chaos wizard for his new team?
Vizag Diaries: Capitals’ Coastal Report Card
This match may be a first-ever face-off in Vizag between DC and LSG, but Delhi Capitals already have some baggage — and blessings — from the venue:
- Matches Played: 7
- Wins: 3
- Losses: 4
- Highest Score: 191/5 vs CSK (2024)
- Lowest Score: 121/6 vs Rising Pune Super Giant (2016 – RIP)
Delhi’s record here is a bit like a soap opera — dramatic highs, emotional lows, and the occasional slap from a Pune team that no longer exists.

What to Expect in IPL 2025’s Vizag Vortex
LSG may be slightly limping into this one — Mohsin Khan is out injured, and the pace battery looks more like a squirt gun. But don’t underestimate Pant’s ability to turn chaos into gold. Meanwhile, DC have a stable core with Warner, Marsh, and the ever-reliable Axar.
Conditions in Vizag tend to favor spinners and batters who don’t swing at everything like they’re in a Bollywood dance-off. Expect a strategic battle, not a brainless slogfest.
