Bollywood director Kunal Kohli has made a bold statement and said that Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants are the ‘Most Boring’ franchise in IPL 2026. The two sides began their IPL 2026 campaign against each other where DC cinched a win after some early hiccups. 

“With due respect to some of the players I really like in #LSG & #DC these 2 teams are def amongst the most Boring #IPL teams. A tough contender is #CSK – without my all-time fav #MSDhoni – with #MSD I’ll watch net practice also,” he posted on X.

“Having said that always love #RCB #MI #KKR & now #RR because of #VaibhavSanghvi (sic),” he added.

DC vs LSG

Delhi Capitals (DC) started the new IPL season with a thumping six-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday, and the DC skipper Axar Patel accepted that he is ‘very happy with his bowling unit.’

Asked to bat first, LSG were bowled out for 141 thanks to the seamer Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan’s three wickets apiece. Riding on Sameer Rizvi’s unbeaten 70 runs, DC chased down the target comfortably and started their campaign with an easy two points.

Speaking during the post-match presentation, Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel said, “It finished early, but in the middle it had become close. We just needed one partnership, and that’s what we spoke about in the break. Very happy with the bowling effort. When we started with the ball, we knew there was a bit of help for the bowlers, which was communicated to whoever was coming onto bowl. You see how the match is going, there was a bigger and smaller boundary, and I was seeing who I could bowl, in the end, I might have miscalculated.”

Rizvi played an unbeaten knock of 70 runs off just 47 balls, which helped his side chase down a challenging target of 142 runs with six wickets and 17 balls to spare.

Reacting to the defeat in the first match of the season, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant said, “I think the best way to recover from it is to ignore (on his unlucky run-out). I think that’s the best way looking forward because you know something like that, you can’t control, but thinking about it definitely puts you on the back foot.”
