The versatile Delhi Capitals (DC), Vipraj Nigam, said that the team would use KL Rahul’s insight in their 2025 IPL match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday. Rahul was the Captain of LSG for three seasons, but he was not retained by LSG last year before the mega auction IPL 2025. Rahul would have reached the owner of the LSG Sanjiv Goenka after the two were seen in an intense discussion, after a heavy defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) last year.
Rahul rekindled himself to DC, playing with more freedom with his own admission and helping young people and Vipraj to prosper with his precious contributions.
“Not specifically for this match, but I receive the advice of seniors in each game on the way of performing better. Regarding Rahul Bhaiya, yes, he helps, all the more since he played with some players who have left Lucknow last year and who are always with them this year. So, in our team meetings, we certainly discuss what is really useful when someone has this instance declared Nigam.
Thinking about his role, the 20-year-old, at the pre-match press conference, said: “I consider myself a versatile. I have to make contributions with the ball and also with the bat whenever.”
Speaking of playing in front of the family and the crowd at home, Nigam added: “Yes, there is a lot of pressure and nervousness in all the games. It is just added when you play in front of your family and your trainer.”
The young Spinner praised senior players for providing the right type of contributions and comments.
“I receive advice from seniors in each match. We get the help of seniors. There are players who were in Lucknow last year and who are here also this year. We are talking about these aspects in our team meetings and planning accordingly.”
Asked about an update on the FAF du Plessis, Nigam said: “He recovers well, but the final call will be made by management.”
DC has 10 points to their credit from 7 games so far. They have already beaten LSG once this season.
