impact player ishant

Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma took 3-34 as Delhi Capitals survived a late scare from Arshad Khan to beat Lucknow Super Giants by 19 runs in Match 64 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday. After sublime half-centuries by Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs propelled DC to reach a massive 208/4, Ishant starred to reduce LSG to 44/4 in the fifth over. While Nicholas Pooran made a hard-hitting 61, Arshad threatened to take the game away with an unbeaten 58.

But it wasn’t enough as LSG ended up at 189/9, as DC ended their group stage with a win and awaited the results of other games to know if they could enter the playoffs. The result also means Rajasthan Royals have qualified for the Playoffs.
