DC vs LSG, IPL 2025: KL Rahul has moved from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to Delhi Capitals (DC), while Rishabh Pant has switched from Delhi to Lucknow. This is a big change for both teams. Although Pant is still the captain, Rahul is not even the vice-captain anymore.
Team Strengths and Weaknesses: DC vs LSG IPL 2025 Preview
With these changes, both teams will face each other on March 24 (Monday) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
Both teams don’t look very strong because they have very few key players. LSG, in particular, seems weak in bowling due to the absence of key pacers Mayank Yadav and Avesh Khan.
However, LSG appears to have one extra impact player, as in addition to Pant and Nicholas Pooran, they also have David Miller, who can change the game with his powerful batting.
On the other hand, Delhi’s batting looks weak if Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs are dismissed early. With Rahul and du Plessis playing in the same lineup, their batting becomes vulnerable.

But Delhi’s Indian players, Abhishek Porel and Ashutosh Sharma, are capable of turning the game around with their quick-fire innings.
In terms of bowling, Delhi’s pace attack, featuring Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, and Mukesh Kumar, looks stronger compared to LSG’s pace unit, which includes Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, or Akash Singh.
