LSG vs DC: Lucknow Super Giants were left embarrassed with IPL coming to Lucknow for the first time and the Ekana Stadium not being filled to it’s brim. There were a lot of empty seats in LSG’s opening game against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023 at Lucknow. Though the hosts got off to a strong start, courtesy of a fiery knock from Kyle Mayers, a rather empty stadium will surely dampen the spirits of LSG.

But, last year the games were held in Mumbai and therefore LSG couldn’t play a single game in their home stadium. However, now in 2023, when the Covid rules are relaxed, each team will play a total of 14 games with 7 home and 7 away fixtures.

Kyle Mayers UNLEASES Fury against Delhi Capitals
David Warner, the Delhi Capitals skipper won the toss and opted to bowl first. KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers wished for a good start but the LSG skipper departed early after scoring just 8 runs. But on the other hand, Mayers unleashed his fury against DC to give the hosts a grand start.
The Caribbean batter slammed a quick fifty and then went to hammer more, as he selectively punished the spinner duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. With a stunning strike rate of over 192, the left hander hit 78 runs off just 38 deliveries. His fiery knock consisted of 2 fours and 7 huge sixes.
