Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals took on each other in a trailblazing encounter in the second match of the day at the Wankhede Stadium and it was worth a watch for every spectator. The match did not see many runs being scored and it was not a high scoring thriller but that did not stop both the teams from entertaining us to the fullest.
Having won the toss, Lucknow Super Giants opted to bowl first which has been the tradition at Wankhede Stadium in IPL 2022 so far and it was the right decision. They were able to restrict Rajasthan Royals for a low total of 165 runs which is a big achievement given the fact that they have some of the best batsmen in the league this season. However, Shimron Hetmyer’s unbeaten knock of 59 runs made sure that Rajasthan reach a defendable total and it ended up being the winning total for them.
Trent Boult picked up two early wickets of KL Rahul and Krishnappa Gowtham and it was a real blow to Lucknow Super Giants. The dismissal of LSG captain KL Rahul needs a special mention as it was one of the most special deliveries we have seen in the IPL 2022 so far.
It was a perfectly pitched delivery by the Kiwi bowler and it swung inside to directly strike the wicket and KL Rahul had no answer to it at all. He totally misread the delivery.
