Delhi Capitals had its fair share of momentum shifts in their IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants but every time the Rishabh Pant-led side seemed to be gaining dominance, KL Rahul's LSG pulled it back by picking up a wicket or two and Mohsin Khan was leader of the pack for them.



The 23-year old Mohsin used his pace, length deliveries, cutters and shot balls to perfection and picked wickets (4/16) at the crucial junctures and led Lucknow to a six-run win over Delhi in the thrilling 45th match of the IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium, here on Sunday.

Chasing a target of 195/3 for victory, captain Pant was going strong for Delhi but Mohsin returned for his second spell and set DC skipper up with four length deliveries, including cutters, up front.

The pacer then went full and had Pant failing to flick from around his pads, and saw his stumps flattened on 44. Axar and Powell then found a couple of boundaries to keep the required run rate to around 12, but Mohsin's final over provided the body blow.

A length ball angling across was dragged by Powell (35) to Krunal Pandya at deep midwicket. A few balls later, Shardul slog swept Mohsin to the same fielder and the game shifted in LSG's favour.
