Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns in match 4 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Monday (March 24).
It’s kind of an awkward start for two Indian cricketers as they will be facing their former employers to open the new season with Rishabh Pant, the most expensive player in IPL history, returning to DC’s second home in Vizag as captain of LSG.

While Pant’s ex deputy Axar Patel leads Delhi Capitals this season on the permanent basis, a former Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul has found his new home in the Delhi-based side.
Apart from the change in personnel, the two sides will also clash for the first time at the Vizag venue, which Delhi Capitals will continue to use as their second home, carrying forward the tradition from last season.
Although it’s their first meeting in Vizag, DC and LSG have crossed paths more than five times in the lucrative league, and there is very little to separate the two sides. Here is a look at DC vs LSG head to head numbers and all the other details.
In the 5 LSG vs DC head to head meetings in IPL, it’s Lucknow Super Giants, who hold a narrow advantage, having won three contests against Delhi Capitals, who secured their two wins last season.
In their most recent encounter, DC rode on Abhishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs’ fifties to set a target of 208, which LSG almost pulled off, but fell short by 19 runs with Nicholas Pooran and Arshad Khan’s fifties going in vain. Here is a look at DC vs LSG stats:
