The much anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals is just around the corner as the two sides will collide at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The match will also be interesting because KL Rahul will return to Ekana for the first time since being released by the franchise.

Both the teams have been excellent in the league stages so far with two standing at 10 points each at the moment. The home side, LSG won their last game and will look to continue their winning run, but for that, they need Nicholas Pooran to fire all guns blazing. Here are two key reasons why the explosive batter will hold the key for his side against DC.
