As it happened: LSG chase down 191 against SRH in 16.1 overs
LSG’s Victory: So Easy, Even Ishan Kishan Got to Bowl!
LSG cruised to victory like a kid on a sugar rush! Abdul Samad seemed in a hurry to wrap things up, smashing Zampa for a four and a six, leaving LSG just two runs short of the target at the end of the 16th over. But wait—what’s this? A strategic timeout delaying the inevitable? Just classic IPL drama.
When play resumed, SRH decided to have some fun. Enter Ishan Kishan, who had never bowled in the IPL before. Maybe they thought, "Why not? What’s the worst that could happen?" Well, Miller didn’t care—he simply lofted the very first delivery over extra cover and called it a day.
Chasing 191 with 23 balls and five wickets to spare must have felt like sweet revenge for LSG, especially after last season’s trauma when Abhishek and Head made 166 look like a warm-up drill, finishing it off in just 9.4 overs. This time, LSG said, “Not today, SRH. Not today.”

LSG’s Victory: So Easy, Even Ishan Kishan Got to Bowl!
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made their latest IPL match look like a cakewalk, strolling to victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) with the kind of ease usually reserved for Sunday morning jogs. They chased down a challenging 191-run target with 23 balls to spare, leaving fans in awe and SRH in disbelief. But the real drama? The match had everything from Abdul Samad’s fireworks to an unexpected bowling cameo by none other than Ishan Kishan, who probably hadn’t expected to ever turn his arm over in an IPL game.
The Chase Begins: LSG Mean Business
The LSG batters approached the chase with the confidence of a student who already has the answer key to an exam. Their openers started steadily, setting the foundation for what would eventually become a dominant performance. The middle order, led by a belligerent Abdul Samad, was in no mood to play the waiting game. He looked determined to finish things off quickly, sending Zampa into orbit with a four and a six to bring LSG within touching distance of victory.
By the end of the 16th over, LSG needed just two runs. Normally, this would mean a straightforward conclusion, but the cricketing gods decided to add a little spice to the moment. Enter the infamous strategic timeout—a break that seemed to serve no other purpose than delaying the inevitable.
The Ishan Kishan Experiment
After the break, SRH, either out of options or in a last-ditch attempt to throw LSG off their rhythm, handed the ball to Ishan Kishan. Yes, you read that right. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who had never bowled in an IPL match before, found himself given the responsibility of trying to stop LSG. Perhaps SRH hoped for a miracle, but what happened next was straight out of a comedy sketch.
David Miller, not in the mood for theatrics, wasted no time and simply lofted Kishan’s very first ball over extra cover, sealing the win in the most nonchalant manner possible. The entire episode felt like a school cricket match where the team’s best batter is given a casual over just for fun.
A Sweet Taste of Revenge
For LSG, this win was more than just two points in the IPL standings. It was sweet revenge. Last season, they had been on the receiving end of an absolute thrashing when SRH’s Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head chased down 166 in just 9.4 overs, making LSG’s bowlers look like extras in a high-octane action movie. This time, however, LSG flipped the script.
SRH must have felt a sense of deja vu, except this time they were the ones on the wrong side of a hammering. LSG’s aggressive approach and clinical finishing ensured they returned the favor in style.
LSG’s Game Plan: Aggression All the Way
From the moment the chase began, LSG made their intentions clear. Their batsmen played aggressively, yet smartly, ensuring they never let the required run rate get out of hand. While other teams often crumble under scoreboard pressure, LSG’s batters seemed to thrive in the situation, dispatching anything loose and rotating the strike with ease.
The turning point came when Abdul Samad decided he had seen enough of Zampa’s bowling and sent the ball flying to all corners of the ground. His blistering attack meant LSG could breathe easy, knowing that the game was firmly in their hands.
SRH’s Bowling Woes
On the other hand, SRH’s bowling attack looked toothless as they struggled to contain LSG’s aggressive batsmen. Their spinners failed to find any purchase on the pitch, and their pacers lacked the firepower needed to rattle LSG’s lineup. The decision to let Ishan Kishan bowl the final over of the match was perhaps an indication of just how desperate they were to find an answer.
What This Means for LSG and SRH
For LSG, this win sends a strong message to the rest of the league: they are here to dominate. Their ability to chase down a challenging total with so much ease highlights their depth and balance. With their batsmen in top form and their bowlers doing just enough to restrict opposition teams, they look like genuine title contenders.
For SRH, this loss will sting. Not only did they fail to defend a solid total, but their bowling attack looked ineffective. They will need to regroup quickly and figure out how to prevent such collapses in the future.
The Funniest Takeaways from the Match
Ishan Kishan Bowling: Probably the most unexpected sight of the evening. While his action wasn’t exactly out of the coaching manual, he did technically bowl an IPL over. Achievement unlocked!
Strategic Timeout Shenanigans: If you’re two runs away from victory, do you really need a timeout? Maybe LSG just wanted a quick chat about what they’d have for dinner after the game.
David Miller’s Savage Finish: The man didn’t waste time—one ball, one swing, game over. As if he had an Uber waiting outside the stadium.
