IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Can Be Broken in Today’s DC vs LSG Match
KL Rahul just 5 fours away to reach 400 IPL fours milestone
The 64th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The match is scheduled on 14th May from 7:30 pm.
This is the last game for Delhi Capitals, and their campaign ends at their home ground. DC has won 6 games out of their 13 games and are in the 6th position in the points table. Following their defeat against RCB in the last match, DC’s chances of qualifying are almost over, and thus they will play for pride.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants is in the driving seat to qualify without external support or mathematics involved. LSG has to win all their remaining games, and they will sail through.
LSG’s only concern will be their style of losing their previous matches. LSG played a weak form of cricket with their shoulders down and would hope to regain some motivation and make it to the playoffs.
Delhi Capitals will be led by Rishabh Pant, who was out in the last game due to a ban following his team’s slow over rate. Axar Patel led against RCB, but Pant will be back for the last game of DC. Meanwhile, LSG will be led by KL Rahul.
Here are some records that could be broken in the match:
1. Warner Targeting 450 T20 Fours
Warner is out of form in the league and would be hoping to have some runs under his belt in the last game of DC. David Warner (444) needs another six more fours to complete 450 fours in T20s.
2. Rahul Eyes 400 Fours
Lucknow Super Giants’ hopes rely on their captain KL Rahul to help them win the two remaining games. Rahul (395) needs another five fours to reach 400 fours in IPL.
3. Hooda Aims 1500 IPL Runs
Deepak Hooda has been playing IPL for a decade but has been in and out for his respective franchise. He is finally getting a long rope this season. Deepak Hooda (1454) needs another forty-six runs to reach 1500 runs in IPL.
Delhi Capitals have played enterprising cricket this season. They were down and out, but they made a stellar comeback. However, their campaign seems to end in this match. Meanwhile, LSG would hope to defeat DC and MI both.
