IPL 2025 4th Match of DC vs LSG Update

DC and LSG are set to play their first match of the IPL season 2025 today at 7:30 PM IST at ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatman. With Axar Patel as the new captain for DC and Rishabh Pant the new captain for LSG, let’s take a look at IPL 2025 4th Match of DC vs LSG Update.

LSG Pacer Injury Update

Mayank Yadav, a significant pacer for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has suffered a fresh injury blow ahead of IPL 2025. After impressing in the previous season with his ability to hit speeds of 150 kph, Mayank had been recovering from a back injury at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. While there were expectations for his return in early April, LSG head coach Justin Langer confirmed that Mayank has sustained a new injury, delaying his availability until the final week of the season.

The pacer recently suffered a setback after injuring his foot when he accidentally kicked his toe against the bed. This injury has delayed his recovery from a previous back issue, pushing back his return by two weeks. Despite this, head coach Justin Langer is hopeful Mayank will be ready to play in the times of 2-3 weeks of IPL 2025. This injury adds to a series of setbacks for LSG’s fast bowlers, including Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, and Akash Deep. Mayank’s return will be crucial for LSG as they prepare for the season under new captain Rishabh Pant.

Is KL Rahul Playing his Debut match for DC?

KL Rahul, who joined Delhi Capitals for ₹14 crores in the IPL 2025 auction, is expected to miss the team’s opening match against his former franchise, Lucknow Super Giants. Rahul joined the team late in pre-season preparations due to personal reasons. It’s reported that he is awaiting the birth of his first child with his wife, Athiya Shetty, which has kept him away from the team’s preparations. Although Rahul was spotted at a promotional event in the Middle East recently, his availability for the opener is uncertain, with DC’s skipper, Axar Patel, yet to confirm.
