Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a six-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, knocking them out of the playoffs race. Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 59 off 20 balls, including six sixes, set the foundation for SRH’s successful chase of LSG’s total of 205/7. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram also contributed with high-quality fifties for SRH.
Despite LSG’s efforts, their captain Rishabh Pant, who failed to live up to his hefty price tag of 27 crores, could not lead them to victory. LSG needed a win to stay alive in the tournament, but their loss marked a disappointing season for the team.
In the bowling department, leg-spinner Digvesh Rathi was a standout performer for LSG, showcasing his talent in his debut season. However, it was Abhishek’s aggressive batting display, particularly against leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, that stole the show.
The match also saw some heated moments, including a confrontation between Rathi and Abhishek, leading to intervention from the umpires. Despite the loss, both LSG and SRH still have two more games left in the season to salvage their performances.
