Now Akash Chopra has also become a fan of Ashutosh Sharma: former player praised the match winning innings played against LSG.

The fourth match of the Indian Premier League 2025 was played between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam. This exciting match was named by Delhi Capitals by one wicket. In this match, Dhakad batsman Ashutosh Sharma played a key role in his team’s victory by batting stormy.

Ashutosh Sharma played an explosive innings of 66* runs in this match with the help of five fours and 5 sixes. Due to his innings, Delhi Capitals defeated Lucknow Super Giants. Many people have praised Ashutosh Sharma’s innings fiercely. Now former player Akash Chopra has also joined this list.

Akash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Yesterday’s biggest story was Ashutosh Sharma. This is his second season but the young player has left his mark in the IPL so far. People forget what you have done in the first season. You came and started playing your strong shots and got into the limelight. The second season is very difficult from the first season.

At one time the Delhi team lost their 5 wickets for just 65 runs and it was in a very poor condition. At one time Ashutosh Sharma scored only 13 runs off 17 balls. Vipraj Nigam was playing aggressive cricket from one side. Punjab must be wondering why he did not retain Ashutosh. However, the team needed a wicketkeeper and that is why he retained Prabhasimran Singh.

Former player also put his side with Kuldeep Yadav’s spell

In this match, veteran spinner Kuldeep Yadav also bowled well and took two wickets for 20 runs in four overs. Regarding Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling, Akash Chopra said, ‘The second big story of this match was with Kuldeep Yadav who bowled well and put pressure on the Lucknow team batsmen. Ashutosh should be talked about later, but giving 20 runs in four overs and taking two wickets is a big thing.

Visakhapatnam’s ground is quite small and Kuldeep Yadav bowled deadly and pressured Lucknow Super Giants batsmen. He also took the wicket of Rishabh Pant which could prove to be very aggressive.
