In a thrilling IPL 2025 match in Visakhapatnam, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant<\/a> remained composed about a crucial missed stumping opportunity against Delhi Capitals.
Ashutosh Sharma emerged as DC’s hero with an unbeaten 66, leading his team to victory when the odds were against them. In the final over, with six runs needed from six balls, Pant chose Shahbaz Ahmed to bowl.

The first ball of the final over saw Mohit Sharma step down the track and miss, with Pant failing to complete the stumping. Although Pant opted for a DRS review for LBW, the ball was shown to have missed the stumps.Mohit managed a single, bringing Ashutosh on strike. The 26-year-old then sealed the match with a six over Shahbaz’s head, securing a one-wicket victory for Delhi Capitals.<\/p>\n

“Definitely, luck plays a part in this game, and if it could have missed his (Mohit Sharma’s) pads, it was a chance for stumping. But these things happen in the game of cricket. You can’t focus on these things, but rather, you need to play better cricket.”
After winning the toss and choosing to field, DC faced a strong batting display from LSG. Mitchell Marsh scored 72 while Nicholas Pooran contributed 75, helping their team post a total above 200 runs.
“I think our top-order batters played really well, and I think it was a pretty good score on this wicket. As a team, we are looking to take positives from every match, and as a team, we are looking to learn from it (every match.) The more basics we do right, the more it is going to be better for us in the future. We got early wickets, but we knew it was a good wicket to bat on. We had to keep doing the basics right more often than not.”<\/p>\n

DC’s chase began poorly as they struggled at 65\/5 in the seventh over. However, several crucial partnerships turned the game around.
The partnerships included a 55-run stand between Ashutosh and Vipraj Nigam (39), 45 runs between Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh, and 43 runs between Axar Patel and Faf du Plessis.
“I think they had a couple of good partnerships. One with Stubbs, one with Ashutosh and one with one other guy (Vipraj Nigam.) I think he (Nigam) did a pretty good job and took the game away from us. There was enough for the bowlers, but I think we could have done the basics right. We felt the pressure, we are still settling in, but a lot of positives to take from this match.”<\/p>\n
