LSG vs DC, IPL 2026: Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant played peacemaker bringing an end to the months of animosity between Nitish Rana and Digvesh Rathi ahead of clash at Ekana stadium. With the hatchet now buried for the time being, the two cricketers will again face-off on Wednesday when Lucknow host Delhi. Pana and Rathi were interacting with each other on Tuesday evening during the training session of both the sides ahead of the game.
“Tu kaha ja raha hai? Bas ho gaya, (Where are you going? Enough” Pant told his teammate. Rana was even heard telling Rathi, “In that case, I’ll have to sit with you.”

In the clip, one can also see Kuldeep Yadav stepping in and hugging Pant while letting him know: “Bohut gyaan de diya”. That is when Pant added, “This is the problem with both.” It is no secret that Pant and Kuldeep share a very good bond.

It promises to be a cracker as there is not much to choose between the two sides. The two sides have faced each other seven times. While Lucknow have won thrice, Delhi have got the better of them on four occasions. While LSH will be banking on their star trio of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran; DC one reckons have a slightly more settled squad with a good core of Indian players in the mix.
