NEW DELHI: He came, he saw, and he conquered — that’s how Ashutosh Sharma kept fans on the edge of their seats in a nail-biting last-over finish against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam. Coming in as an Impact Player at No. 7, Ashutosh remained calm under pressure and delivered the most defining knock of his IPL career, guiding Delhi Capitals to a thrilling one-wicket victory.
Bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 3.8 crore in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, Ashutosh stepped up when his team was in deep trouble — reeling at 7/3 before slipping further to 113/6. Alongside Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15 balls), they stitched a crucial 55-run stand in quick time. Despite wickets tumbling at the other end, the Railways batter held his ground and sealed the chase in style. Ashutosh remained unbeaten on 66 off just 31 balls, finishing the game with a massive six off Shahbaz Ahmed as Delhi Capitals successfully hunted down a 210-run target with three balls to spare. His explosive knock featured five fours and five sixes.
