Lucknow Super Giants locked horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad, and won the match by 5 wickets with 23 balls remaining.
Opting to bowl first in the match, Lucknow Super Giants shocked Sunrisers Hyderabad and shattered their dream of 300 runs. 'Lord' Shardul Thakur led the charge with his 4-wicket haul and other bowlers picked up one wicket each to restrict the opposition to 190/9 in 20 overs.
Speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, Rishabh Pant said that winning against SRH was a big relief, but they believe in focusing more on the process and not on results. He said:
As a team, we can't focus on uncontrollables - Rishabh Pant
While talking about missing the Indian pace-bowling unit due to injury issues, Rishabh Pant said that they focus on controllables and lauded Prince Yadav and Shardul Thakur for their bowling brilliance. He stated:
Rishabh Pant also showered rich praise on Nicholas Pooran but said that Team LSG haven't played their best cricket yet. He stated:
How did LSG perform in the previous IPL match against SRH?
Lucknow Super Giants last took on Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 8 in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 in Hyderabad. They faced a humiliating 10-wicket loss in the match with 62 balls remaining.
After that, Ayush Badoni (55* off 30) and Nicholas Pooran (48* off 26) provided LSG with a late flourish, but they were only able to post 165/4 on the board. The duo put up an unbroken 99-run stand off 52 balls.
All five bowlers conceded over 14 runs per over. Yash Thakur (0/47 in 2.4 overs) and Ravi Bishnoi (0/34 in 2 overs) were particularly expensive. The defeat not only dented LSG’s morale but also made team owner Sanjiv Goenka extremely furious, who blasted KL Rahul on the field.
