RR vs LSG Match Summary

 

The chase by the Lucknow Super Giants got off to as worse a start as was possible after Trent Boult removed KL Rahul off the very first ball of the over.  In the same over he also got Krishnappa Gowatham out Leg Before Wicket. 

 

From there on it was a total struggle for the Super Giants even as de Kock held one end the wickets kept falling from the other. Run scoring was hard and as a result, the required rate mounted and in that pressure de Kock was also out and in that same over Chahal also removed Krunal Pandya. 

 

With  40 required off 13 balls, Chahal was hit for a six by Avesh Khan and the margin came down to 34 needed off the last two overs and then Marcus Stoinis hit Prasidh Krishna for 19 in the 19th over. 

 

It all came down to the last six balls and Kuldeep Sen kept his nerves and defend those runs, giving away just a single off the first four balls, making it impossible to win it in the remaining two legal deliveries, although he was hit for a four and a six off the last two balls. But the match was won by three runs by Rajasthan Royals. 

 

Earlier in the evening, after being asked to bat first, Rajasthan got off to a nice start as they made 42 in the first five overs without losing a wicket. But then they lost four quick wickets and were reduced to 67-4 before Ravichandran Ashwin and Shimron Htemyer added 68 off 51 balls to provide stability to the innings. 

 

In a bizarre move, Ravichandra Ashwin decided to get retired out in the 19th over in what was a first-ever case of ‘retired out’ in IPL. Riyan Parag came in his place and courtesy of the brilliant 59 off just 36 balls from Hetmyer, Rajasthan reached a fighting total of 165/6 in their 20 overs.

RR vs LSG Live Score: Kuldeep Sen's nerves of steel win it for Rajasthan

 

Kuldeep Sen is into the attack

 

Ball 1  Single and that was all that was needed off that ball. All that RR needed was a wicket 

 

Ball 2  Kuldeep looks a lot under pressure but executes the yorker perfectly well and a dot ball. That would now make it 14 off 4 balls well done young man 

 

Ball 3   Boom !! Another great ball from Sen as he does not let Stoinis get the better of him and a slower one from Sen means no runs and now 14 needed off 3 balls 

 

Ball 4  And another one. This is brilliant execution from Kuldeep Sen here as he bowls length, but the speed of the ball is such that Stoinis can’t get his bat on it now 14 off 2 

 

Ball 5 Four!! And that would do no harm to Rajasthan as the ball flies off teh edge of the bat Stonis for four over third-man and now 10 needed off the last ball here 

 

Ball 6  Six!! Just a legal ball is all he needs to bowl and he does bowl that and it is hit for a six by Marcus Stoinis, but that wouldn’t matter much as the game has already been won here by the calmness of Kuldeep Sen. What brilliant bowling from the man playing his first IPL match

 

Lucknow Super Giants 162/8 in 20 overs

Prasidh Krishna is into the attack

 

Ball 1  WIDE

 

Ball 1 Four!! Picked it from the stumps as Krishna bowls a length ball and hits it for four past the short fine leg 

 

Ball 2  Two runs are taken as Rassie van der Dussenn doesn't attack the ball knowing that the batters will go for two runs. P[oor fielding and once again Rajasthan are losing it in the field 

 

Ball 3   7 off the first two balls and now the pressure is on Krishna once again. Can he deliver here? No, he cannot as he bowls a length ball once again on whose advice only god knows and has been hit for a maximum donw th ground by Stoinis 

 

Ball 4  Brilliant yorker executed this time around from Krishna and no runs off it 

 

Ball 5 Brilliant bouncer. This one has been a great execution by Prasidh Krishna as first of all there are no runs and now it has been reviewed by Samson for caught behind. Let’s see what happens

 

Review coming up and the ultra edge shows no bat involved and RR will lose the review and hopefully not the momentum gathered on the last two balls, because he can’t go for a six here 

 

Ball 6  Six!! He has, he has !! The rhythm was disturbed from that review of which there was no need and Krishna here misses his length and bowls a full toss and gets hit for a six. 15 needed off the last over as here Krishna has gone for 19 in his over

RR vs LSG Live Score: Chahal gets his fourth wicket

 

Chahal is into the attack

 

Ball 1  It is a risk bowling the spinner and Stoinis shows exactly why as the first one has been hit for a six by the Western Australian

 

Ball 2  Played straight to mid-off and no runs from it 

 

Ball 3   Played to sweeper cover and this time around Stoinis takes the single 

 

Ball 4  Too wide from Chahal and given a wide 

 

Ball 4  Dot ball hit straight to the bowler 

 

Ball 5  Leg spinner and that has been called a wide … and both the wicket-keeper and the captain are furious 

 

Ball 5 Wicket !! And now an appeal for leg before wicket here from Chahal and Samson as the batters complete a single down to third-man past the wicket-keeper and the rep[lay shows that the ball did not hit the bat and would go on to hit the middle of middle and that would be Lucknow eight down as Chameera goes for 13 off 6 balls 

 

Ball 6  Six!! Way too much air given by Chahal to Avesh Khan and he lashes on to it and hits it for a six to make the match interesting as now only 34 is needed of the last two and two young Indian pacers in Kuldeep Sen and Praisdh Krishna have to bowl it 

 

Lucknow Super Giants 132/8 in 18 overs

Trent Boult is into the attack

 

Ball 1  Played to backward point for a single by Stoinis as he has been so much down the order that he literally has no one to support him 

 

Ball 2  Played to sweeper cover by Chameera for two runs

 

Ball 3  Yorker and a single from it as Chameera digs it out to third-man 

 

Ball 4  Hit straight down the ground by Stoinis for a single as Buttler fields it 

 

Ball 5  Four!! Bouncer attempted by Boult and Chameera pulled it four past deep square leg 

 

Ball 6  And Chameera will get two off the last ball as well as the throw is wayward from the fielder at deep fine leg and in total 11 runs come from this over

RR vs LSG Live Score: Double wicket over from Chahal

 

Chahal is into the attack

 

Ball 1  Down the ground for a single by de Kock 

 

Ball 2  The ball has gotten wet and now is the opportunity for LSG as Pandya here plays in the gap and takes two runs and then a very bad backup by Padikkal given an extra run so three of that ball 

 

Ball 3   Wicket!! Riyan Parag you beauty. Takes a running catch as this was short from Chahal, more like a pace bowler and de Kock hit to long-on where Parag made no mistake 

 

And its time for the Time Out as well 

 

Ball 4  Marcus Stoionis starts with a cut to sweeper cover

 

Ball 5  Bowled him!! Chahal gas changed the game on its head in just one over as Pandya goes sweeping on this one and misses the line of the ball and Chahal won’t miss this as it goes through Pandya and now Lucknow lose seven. 

 

Ball 6  Four!! Chameera is the new man in as LSG are into the tail now and Chameera gets the edge and gets it for four runs past the wicket-keeper
