VISAKHAPATNAM, India (AP) — Ashutosh Sharma's blistering 66 off 31 balls snatched for Delhi Capitals a dramatic one-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League on Monday.

Sharma lifted left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed for a straight six to carry Delhi to 211-9 with three balls to spare, and handed Rishabh Pant, the IPL’s most expensive player, defeat in his first game as Lucknow skipper.
