Vipraj Nigam Shines Bright as DC Prepares for LSG Showdown
As Delhi Capitals gear up to face the Lucknow Super Giants in their next IPL 2025 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, all eyes are on the young and promising all-rounder Vipraj Nigam. Just 20 years old, Nigam has already made a mark this season with his balanced performances and maturity beyond his years. During the pre-match press conference, he confidently stated, “I consider myself an all-rounder. I have to make contributions with the ball and also with the bat whenever required.”
That statement alone tells you everything you need to know about his mindset. He’s not just looking to play a role; he’s aiming to be the guy the team can turn to in tough moments. Whether it's stepping in to bat during a collapse or bowling those tricky middle overs, Nigam is slowly carving out his place in a side filled with seasoned talent.

DC might be coming off a loss against Gujarat Titans, but their campaign has been solid so far. With five wins from seven games, they’re comfortably placed in the top half of the table, and much of that consistency is owed to emerging players like Vipraj who have stepped up. And let’s not forget, this upcoming fixture is in Lucknow—home turf for Nigam. Playing in front of family and childhood mentors isn’t just a proud moment, it’s a pressure cooker of expectations. Vipraj admitted as much, sharing that the nerves definitely ramp up when loved ones are in the stands.
Despite that, he’s focused and thriving thanks to the support he’s receiving from senior players in the squad. “I get advice from the seniors in every game… There are some players who were in Lucknow last year and are here this year as well. We talk about those aspects in our team meetings and plan accordingly,” he shared. That collaborative mindset is clearly rubbing off on him and making him a smarter cricketer with every outing.
As the team looks ahead to Tuesday’s match against LSG, the buzz around key player battles is growing. Faf du Plessis and Jake Fraser-McGurk could be vital depending on fitness updates, and questions remain about who will rise in this crucial clash. But one thing is certain—Vipraj Nigam is not shying away from the spotlight.
Whether DC can bounce back with a win is yet to be seen, but with players like Nigam owning their roles and rising to the occasion, the Capitals have plenty to feel confident about. If anything, this young all-rounder is quickly proving he's not just part of the squad—he’s becoming a core of its future.
