but stubbs

When Delhi Capitals: When Delhi Capitals reduced Lucknow Super Giants to 134/7 in the 15th over, it looked like an early end was in sight at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. But left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Arshad Khan threatened to take the game away with an unbeaten 58 off 33 deliveries and attempting to script an improbable chase of 209 for LSG.

It was also Arshad’s maiden T20 fifty, and made him the seventh batter to hit a fifty batting lower in the tournament, though it didn’t prevent LSG from a 19-run defeat, leaving their IPL 2024 playoffs hopes hanging by a very slim margin.

LSG head coach Justin Langer feels Arshad, who took out Jake Fraser-McGurk for a two-ball duck, apart from hitting five sixes and three boundaries with the bat, can become a very good all-rounder if he manages to stay consistent in his performances.
