In this article, we will discuss LSG vs DC IPL 2023, During the Lucknow Super Giants vs. Delhi Capitals match, three records were broken. On April 1, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) triumphed admirably over the Delhi Capitals (DC) to begin their IPL 2023 season. LSG defeated DC by 50 runs in their maiden game at the Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium, thanks to the heroics of Mark Wood and Kyle Mayers.
David Warner, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, chose to bowl first after winning the toss. In the powerplay overs, the DC bowlers bowled effectively, and Chetan Sakariya got KL Rahul out. As Mayers was batting on 14, the youthful left-arm seamer came close to taking out the southpaw, but Khaleel Ahmed fumbled a straightforward catch.
The DC bowling attack as a whole paid the price for the dropped catch as the West Indian batter took advantage of it. On his 38-ball 73, he hit two fours and seven sixes. With his outstanding cameo of 36 runs, Nicholas Pooran helped LSG reach 193/6 in 20 overs.

#1 In the IPL 2023 last night, Mark Wood broke Dimitri Mascarenhas’ record
Mark Wood joined former England all-rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas in an exclusive club last night as he became the second England bowler to capture a five-wicket haul in the IPL.
For the Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings), Mascarenhas achieved a five-wicket haul against the Pune Warriors in 2012.
The best IPL stats (5/25) by an England player were held by the former English all-rounder. Wood set a new record last night by scoring 5/14.
#2 In IPL 2023 last night, Mark Wood smashed Mohsin Khan’s previous record
Mark Wood became the first bowler in IPL history for the Lucknow Super Giants to achieve a five-wicket haul. The England fast bowler finished with statistics of 5/14 in four overs after taking the wickets of Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Sarfaraz Khan, Axar Patel, and Chetan Sakariya.
Wood now holds the record for the best bowling figures by a Lucknow Super Giants bowler as a result of this performance. The previous best was a 4/16 spell by left-arm bowler Mohsin Khan against the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2022.
#3 Last night at IPL 2023, Khaleel Ahmed broke Amit Mishra’s record
Against the Lucknow Super Giants, Khaleel Ahmed bowled a superb spell of 2/30. With his swing and pace, he challenged the LSG hitters as the Delhi Capitals’ opening bowler. The left-arm pacer claimed the crucial dismissals of Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran.
Khaleel now holds the record for being the Indian bowler to reach 50 IPL wickets the quickest thanks to his two victories. He broke Amit Mishra’s record, who reached the milestone in 37 matches, by accomplishing the accomplishment in his 35th encounter.
