Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals Match Highlights: It felt like the game was slipping away early on but Delhi Capitals had other plans.
In a stunning turnaround, they chased down the target to beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets in their IPL 2026 opener at the Ekana Stadium and at the centre of it all was Sameer Rizvi.
The chase of 142 couldn't have started worse for Delhi. KL Rahul fell on the very first ball to Mohammed Shami, setting the tone for a shaky beginning.
Things only got worse from there. Nitish Rana departed soon after, followed by Pathum Nissanka. Even skipper Axar Patel couldn't steady things. At 26/4, Delhi were in deep trouble. That's when Rizvi stepped in, and changed the game.
