IPL 2024: DC vs LSG preview - Form guide, head-to-head record, team changes, weather, probable XI

<h2>The spotlight will particularly be intense on LSG captain KL Rahul, who has faced criticism for his recent performances, including a 33-ball 29 in their last match, where in contrast the Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down a target of 166 in under 10 overs.</h2>

The Lucknow Super Giants will look to keep their slim IPL playoff chances alive when they face an equally desperate Delhi Capitals in a must-win game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital.
LSG, currently placed seventh with 12 points, are looking to overcome recent setbacks and capitalize on the five-day break to refine their strategy. The spotlight is particularly intense on LSG captain KL Rahul, who has faced criticism for his recent performances, including a 33-ball 29 in their last match, which did not prevent Sunrisers Hyderabad from chasing down a target of 166 runs within 10 overs. Rahul's form this season has not only impacted his team&rsquo;s standings but also played a part in his omission from India's squad for the T20 World Cup.
LSG's struggles have been compounded by Quinton de Kock's lack of form at the top of the order, which has increased pressure on middle-order hitters like Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran. Despite a rescue effort from Pooran and Ayush Badoni in their last game, LSG&rsquo;s bowling lineup was unable to contain the SRH batters, highlighting significant gaps left by the injured pace duo of Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan. Additionally, the spinners, Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi, are under scrutiny after their recent underwhelming performances.
On the other side, Delhi Capitals are eager to bounce back from a recent defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The return of skipper Rishabh Pant from a one-match suspension is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the team. DC&rsquo;s fielding errors were a major downfall in their last outing against RCB, where dropped catches and misfields proved costly. Moreover, their bowlers failed to capitalize on a favourable start, and the batting lineup collapsed, registering their lowest score of the season. The loss meant they are virtually out of the playoffs race and only a miracle can seem them through but even for that, they have to win this contest by a massive margin.
Despite these challenges, Delhi Capitals have shown their potential earlier in the season, recording four totals over 200. Key players such as Jack Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel, Rishabh Pant, and Tristan Stubbs have been consistent with the bat, contributing significantly to the team&rsquo;s past successes. In the bowling department, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have been effective, sharing 25 wickets between them, while pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar have also made substantial contributions.
The Delhi Capitals may not qualify for the playoffs themselves but they can surely spoil even LSG's chances on Tuesday.
Team News Captain Rishabh Pant, who was badly missed in the contest against RCB, will return to lead the Delhi Capitals after his 1-match suspension.&nbsp; For LSG, Kyle Mayers, who is yet to play this season, may finally get his break in place of the out-of-form Quinton de Kock. The visitors could also make a host of changes to their bowling department. Head-to-head record
The two teams have faced each other 4 times, with LSG dominating the count with 3 wins to Delhi's solitary win, which actually came earlier this season.
Weather report
A hot evening awaits the players with temperatures expected to be in the 34-38&deg;C range during the contest. There's no chance of rain.
Probable XIs
DC Probable XI: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (wk/c), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Rasikh Dar Salam, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed

<h2>The stand between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube proved devastating in the death overs as they took the Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers to task. Their 104-run partnership off 49 balls propelled CSK to 210.</h2>

In a commanding display of batting prowess, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad notched his second IPL century, leading his team to an impressive 210-run total against the Lucknow Super Giants at their home ground, Chepauk. This historic innings marked the first-ever century by a CSK captain, and the first at Chepauk since Brendon McCullum's memorable ton against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2015.
Returning to his role as an opener, Gaikwad showcased his exceptional skills and temperament. Despite the early loss of his opening partner, Ajinkya Rahane, Gaikwad's composed and resilient innings anchored CSK's batting lineup. He demonstrated a masterclass in risk-free cricket, meticulously building his innings and steering his team towards a formidable score.
Throughout his innings, Gaikwad remained undeterred and focused, playing what can only be described as a chanceless knock. While other seasoned players like Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja found it challenging to accelerate the scoring rate, Gaikwad took the responsibility upon himself, ensuring that CSK was set on course for a significant total.
As the innings progressed, Shivam Dube entered the fray and immediately made an impact, relieving some of the pressure on Gaikwad. However, Gaikwad&rsquo;s determination did not wane. Approaching his century, he continued to search for boundary opportunities, eventually reaching the milestone with a splendid four over extra cover.
The partnership between Gaikwad and Dube proved devastating in the death overs as they took the Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers to task. While Gaikwad achieved his hundred off just 56 balls, Dube contributed significantly with a rapid 22-ball fifty, further enhancing CSK's position in the game. Dube eventually finished with a 27-ball 66 as CSK finished with a massive 210 on the board.

Mayank Yadav Exclusive: LSG's pace prodigy speaks to Vikram Chandra on his meteoric rise in IPL 2024

In an exclusive conversation with Vikram Chandra of Editorji, India's newest pace prodigy Mayank Yadav opened up about a range of subjects, from his beginnings in cricket to aspirations and the possibility of breaking Shoaib Akhtar's record for the world's fastest delivery.

<h2>In an exclusive conversation with Editorji's Vikram Chandra, India's newest pace prodigy Mayank Yadav opened up about a range of subjects, from his beginnings in cricket to the possibility of breaking Shoaib Akhtar's record for the world's fastest delivery.</h2>

Mayank Yadav, the 21-year-old fast bowler for the Lucknow Super Giants, has rapidly become a household name in the IPL 2024, thanks to his blistering pace and remarkable skill. The young talent from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has made a significant impact right from his debut, achieving the unprecedented feat of securing the Player of the Match awards in his initial two games. This accomplishment has placed him in the spotlight, making him the first player in IPL's storied history to receive such distinction early in his career.
Throughout these matches, Yadav has showcased an extraordinary ability to deliver fast balls, clocking speeds between 150-155 kph, and claiming six wickets against some of the game's most formidable batters, including Jonny Bairstow and Glenn Maxwell. His stellar performance has ignited discussions about his potential inclusion in India's squad for the T20 World Cup, given his precise control over line and length at such impressive speeds.
In an exclusive conversation with Vikram Chandra from Editorji, Yadav opened up about various aspects of his life and career. He shared insights into his journey in cricket, and his technique for bowling fast, and even discussed the possibility of breaking Shoaib Akhtar's record for the fastest ball in cricket history.
"I think it's my natural ability that I can bowl this fast. It's also my hard work. There's only so much you can do with natural ability, but you need to hone your skill and produce the goods with hard work," Yadav explained, revealing the secret behind his rapid deliveries. With time, he believes his speed has only increased, suggesting a bright future ahead in his career.

Yadav also shared his emotional response to winning back-to-back Player of the Match awards, emphasizing his team-oriented mindset and his surprise at such early success. His cricketing journey began at the tender age of 9 in the humble settings of a local park, evolving significantly when he joined the renowned Sonnet Cricket Club in Delhi. Under the guidance of renowned coach Tarak Sinha, Yadav refined his skills, eventually making his way into professional cricket.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted his early career, Yadav's talent did not go unnoticed. The Lucknow Super Giants picked him even before he had played a single T20 match, showing immense faith in his abilities. Throughout, he received considerable support from the franchise, especially from RPSG group chairman Dr. Sanjiv Goenka, who ensured Yadav had everything he needed to succeed, particularly during times of injury. He said, "I suffered 2-3 injuries. I never had to ask for anything. They always were there to cater for what I needed, always helping me out."
Looking ahead, Yadav expressed his aspirations to represent India on the international stage, with a specific focus on Test cricket. "I want to play Test cricket. I will play T20s too, but I want to play Test cricket for India. My focus will be on playing red-ball cricket for the country," he stated, underscoring his ambition to don the national colors and contribute to India's cricketing legacy.

<h2>India's newest pace-sensation Mayank Yadav opened up on his ability to clock over 150 kph consistently, in an exclusive conversation with Editorji's Vikram Chandra.</h2>

In an exclusive interview with Vikram Chandra of Editorji, Mayank Yadav, the fast bowler for Lucknow Super Giants, who has recently captivated the Indian Premier League (IPL) audience with his remarkable performances, delved into the essence of his rapid rise to fame. Known for his blistering pace on the field, Yadav has quickly become a renowned figure among cricket enthusiasts across the nation.
During the conversation, Yadav shed light on his journey towards achieving such raw speed in his bowling. He attributed his success not only to his innate talent but also to the relentless dedication and hard work he has invested in honing his skills. "I think I have a natural ability to bowl pace but that's not just it, to groom the pace, one has to do hard work and I have done a lot of hard work to increase my pace," Yadav revealed, offering a glimpse into the rigorous process behind his fast bowling.
Furthermore, Yadav reflected on the progression of his speed over the years. Initially entering the IPL with the capability of hitting speeds around 150-151 kph, he was encouraged by his seniors and coaches that maturity and strength would naturally enhance his pace. "When I first came to the IPL, I hardly used to bowl at 150-151 kph and my seniors and coaches told me that as I grow older, I will also get stronger and my pace will increase. I am just 21 at the moment and I hope my bowling speed will increase even further," he stated, indicating his potential for further growth.
When probed about his aspirations to surpass Shoaib Akhtar's record of 161 kmph, the fastest recorded speed in cricket, Yadav maintained a measured stance, saying, "Maybe, maybe not." This response hints at his ambition while acknowledging the monumental challenge of breaking such a historic record.

<h2>"My focus is to play red-ball cricket and I am preparing myself for the same, T20 is also there on the back of my mind, but red-ball cricket is what I always want to focus on" - Mayank Yadav</h2>

Mayank Yadav, the sensational pacer for the Lucknow Super Giants, has quickly become one of the most talked-about players in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, following a remarkable debut where he recorded impressive figures of 3 for 27 against the Punjab Kings. Notably, during his debut, Yadav unleashed a 155.8kmph delivery, marking his entry into the IPL with a bang. He further cemented his reputation as a speedster by recording one of the fastest balls in IPL history at a staggering 156.7 kmph against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
In a candid conversation with Vikram Chandra from Editorji, Yadav revealed his ultimate ambition in cricket and provided insights into his preparation and mindset for the game. Despite his instant success in the shortest format of the game, Mayank's aspirations extend far beyond the IPL. "I have always aspired to play for the country but that is at the back of my mind. At this moment, I want to focus on the upcoming matches of the IPL," he shared, emphasizing his immediate priorities while keeping an eye on the bigger picture.
Mayank also expressed his preference for the traditional format of the game, despite the global trend of players gravitating towards T20 cricket. "My focus is to play red-ball cricket and I am preparing myself for the same, T20 is also there on the back of my mind, but red-ball cricket is what I always want to focus on," Mayank stated. This inclination towards Test cricket distinguishes him from many of his contemporaries, highlighting his desire to excel in what many consider the game's most challenging format.
Yadav's exceptional pace and control make him a valuable asset, particularly in overseas conditions where fast bowlers tend to thrive. His abilities suggest he could play a crucial role for Team India in future tours, including the much-anticipated tour of Australia later this year, and potentially in the World Test Championship final, an accolade India has been on the cusp of winning twice.
As Mayank Yadav and the Lucknow Super Giants prepare for their next match against the Gujarat Titans on April 7, fans and selectors alike will be watching closely. Yadav's performances in the IPL could very well pave the way for his inclusion in the national team, fulfilling his dream of donning the Indian jersey and contributing to the country's success in the international cricket arena.

<h2>Mayank Yadav shared his emotions and reflections on his exceptional performances that led him to win the 'Player of the Match' award in both of his initial IPL games.</h2>

In the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mayank Yadav has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, swiftly becoming the talk of the town for his outstanding performances with the Lucknow Super Giants. The Delhi-born pacer left audiences in awe, first by dismantling the Punjab Kings' lineup and then by outclassing renowned Australian batsmen Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green with his sheer velocity and accuracy during his face-off with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Achieving a monumental milestone, Yadav clinched the title of the fastest bowler in the IPL 2024, recording a jaw-dropping speed of 156.7 kph against RCB. This feat marked a significant highlight in the young bowler's burgeoning career.
Yadav's journey to this pinnacle of success was by no means an overnight affair. Despite being a part of the Lucknow Super Giants since 2022, he had to bide his time, spending the 2022 season on the sidelines and missing the entire 2023 season due to an injury. His persistence and resilience through these challenging times paved the way for his remarkable debut in 2024.
In a heartfelt conversation with Vikram Chandra from Editorji, Yadav shared his emotions and reflections on his exceptional performances that led him to win the 'Player of the Match' award in both of his initial IPL games, the first time in IPL a player had achieved such a feat.
"It was a surreal feeling and I did not expect to win the Player of the Match award in my first game. In the 2nd match, I thought everyone would have high expectations from me due to my performance in the first game. So I backed myself and again won the same award in the second game. So it feels good," he revealed, expressing his joy and the gratifying sense of achievement that followed.
Yadav's remarkable entry into the IPL, marked by his unparalleled speed and skill, not only establishes him as a pivotal player for the Lucknow Super Giants but also positions him as a beacon of inspiration for other young fast bowlers across the nation.

<h2>In an exclusive conversation with Editorji's Vikram Chandra, Mayank Yadav revealed the origins of his cricket story, sharing insights into the early days that shaped his career.</h2>

Mayank Yadav, the 21-year-old pace sensation from New Delhi, has rapidly become the talk of Indian cricket, especially after showcasing an exceptional performance in IPL 2024 for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). His remarkable ability to deliver fast-paced bowling culminated in a momentous event during a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he hurled the cricket ball at an impressive speed of 156.7 KPH. This delivery not only set the record for the fastest ball in the tournament's 2024 edition but also ranked as the fourth fastest in the history of the IPL.
Selected by the LSG in the 2022 IPL auction, Yadav, then only 19, was acquired for INR 20 Lakhs&mdash;a testament to his burgeoning reputation as a formidable fast bowler. His journey to becoming a cricketing prodigy is both inspiring and reflective of his dedication to the sport.
In a candid interview with Vikram Chandra of Editorji, Yadav revealed the origins of his tryst with cricket, sharing insights into the early days that shaped his career. "I started playing cricket when I was 9 years old. I used to play at a park with my friends and then joined a local cricket academy in Delhi and played there for four years," Yadav recounted. This early exposure to cricket laid the foundation for his future in the sport, igniting a passion that would carry him to professional heights.
He went on to describe his transition to a more competitive environment, "At the age of 14, I joined Sonnet cricket club where my coach Tarak Sinha was very much impressed with me. I used to play with senior guys as players of my age found it difficult to face my deliveries. I always wanted to play in the senior team and didn't want to play in a particular age group." This determination to challenge himself against more experienced players highlighted Yadav's ambition and his readiness to push beyond the boundaries of age and experience.
Yadav's path took an unexpected turn with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a period that presented challenges but also opportunities for growth and reflection. Despite these hurdles, his resilience and talent ultimately led him to the IPL, where he now stands as a beacon of fast bowling for aspiring cricketers across the nation.

This remarkable feat not only underscored Yadav's burgeoning reputation as a speedster but also marked him as the first player in IPL history to secure Player of the Match honors in his debut and subsequent game.
Yadav's journey to this point has been filled with anticipation and hard work. Initially drafted by the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2022 IPL auction, the Delhi-born Yadav experienced a mix of emotions as he awaited his selection. In a revealing conversation with Vikram Chandra of Editorji, he shared, "I was very happy after being picked but equally nervous before that. I had no experience of playing T20 cricket and had only played a couple of one-day (domestic) games. My first thought was how I could prepare myself for this format. In my first year, I got to learn many new things about my bowling from the coaching staff and senior players and it is helping me even now."
Despite his undeniable talent, Yadav's path to IPL glory was not without its hurdles. After joining the LSG squad in 2022, he spent his initial season on the sidelines, learning and absorbing invaluable insights from the team's coaching staff and seasoned players. His eagerness to adapt and improve his game was evident, even as he faced the disappointment of missing the entire 2023 season due to injury.
Now, making his debut in 2024, the 21-year-old has quickly made up for lost time, demonstrating not only his exceptional pace but also his ability to handle the pressures and expectations of playing in one of cricket's most prestigious leagues.
Yadav's early successes in IPL 2024 have not only catapulted him into the limelight but also highlighted his potential to become one of the leading fast bowlers in the international cricket arena. With a promising career ahead, Mayank Yadav's story is a testament to resilience, talent, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in the face of challenges.

Mumbai's emphatic 81-run win hero Akash Madhwal impresses Rohit Sharma 

Mumbai Indians inched one step closer to the summit clash with an 81-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL Eliminator.

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma had no doubt about unheralded Akash Madhwal's talent during his two years in the set-up and hence he was confident that the Uttarakhand player would do the job for the team if he persisted.
Madhwal, an engineer from Uttarakhand, had figures of 5 for 5 in 3.3 overs as Mumbai Indians inched one step closer to the summit clash with an 81-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL Eliminator on Wednesday.
"He was the part of the team last year as a support bowler, and once Jofra was gone and I knew he had skills and the character to do the job for us," said an impressed Rohit Sharma after his team qualified for Qualifier 2.&nbsp;
As a successful IPL captain, Rohit knows the art of man management better than most of his contemporaries.
"Over the years, we have seen many guys coming in from Mumbai Indians and playing for India. It is important to make them (youngsters) feel special and make them feel part of the team, my job is to just make them comfortable in the middle," the India captain said.
'They (youngsters like Madhwal) are very clear in their roles about what they need to do for the team and that's what you want', he said. A humble Akash Madhwal said that he has a tendency to learn things quickly because of his background as an engineer. Madhwal, who will turn 30 this November, didn't play competitive leather ball cricket till the age of 23 as he was focussing on getting his BE degree. He was a tennis ball cricketer and by the time he turned 24, Uttarakhand got BCCI affiliation and he entered the competitive cricket scenario.
So where have you been? he was asked.
"I was just practising, and waiting for this opportunity. I did my engineering and played tennis-ball cricket since it was my passion. Engineers have a tendency to learn quickly," he said with a sheepish grin.
In the last league game, he yorked Glenn Phillips and Heinrich Klaasen and on Wednesday, he bowled an unplayable delivery to Nicholas Pooran.
"I just practice, and that is what we execute. I'm proud of myself, but I'll try to be better." He has been Jasprit Bunrah's replacement for the season but he was embarrassed when asked about filling India pace spearhead's shoes.
"Bumrah bhai has his own place, and I'm just trying to play my role. Nicholas Pooran was the best wicket. Everyone at home believes I'm working hard

Mumbai Indians thrashed LSG by 81 runs and have now staged a Qualifier 2 encounter against the Gujarat Titans

After being knocked out of the Eliminator last season, the Lucknow Super Giants hoped of crossing that hurdle this time around, but it was not to be.
Mumbai Indians claimed their first win over LSG in the IPL as they won by 81 runs in Chennai on Wednesday.
Opting to bat, MI lost both openers with just 38 runs on the board.
Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green counter-attacked and took Mumbai over the 100-run mark.
But Naveen-ul-Haq claimed 4 wickets as LSG restricted MI to 182/8.
The men from Lucknow had a decent start and were 69/2 at one stage before the match turned on its head.
LSG lost its last 8 wickets for just 32 runs and was bowled out for a mere 101.
Akash Madhwal stood out with his maiden 5-wicket haul and gave away just 5 runs, which are the best figures by a bowler in this year's IPL. It's also the best figures ever in IPL playoffs.&nbsp;
As a result, MI entered Qualifier 2, where Rohit Sharma's men will face the Gujarat Titans on Friday.

While Gujarat & Chennai have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

IPL 2023, KKR vs LSG: Lucknow survive Rinku scare to seal 1-run win, confirm playoff spot

Gujarat Titans & Chennai Super Kings have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow Super Giants face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

Gujarat Titans &amp; Chennai Super Kings have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow Super Giants face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

A high-octane clash where a solitary run proved to be the difference between both sides.KKR fell short by just 1 run while chasing 177, enabling Lucknow Super Giants to qualify for the playoffs. As is always, Rinku Singh was the man for Kolkata with a sensational 33-ball-67* which included 6 fours &amp; 4 sixes and even though he was left with a little too much to do, the diminutive southpaw almost took his team over the finish line. But, almost wasn't going to be enough. The hosts had earlier managed a 61-run 1st wicket stand between Jason Roy who hit a 28-ball 45 and Venkatesh Iyer who contributed with a 15-ball-24. But the LSG spinners choked the KKR batting lineup in the middle overs, sparking a brilliant turnaround. Ravi Bishnoi (2/23) and Yash Thakur (2/31) proved to be the pick of the bowlers for LSG as they kept their nerves at the end to seal a spot in the Eliminator next week. Earlier, Nicholas Pooran smashed a 30-ball 58 to take Lucknow Super Giants to a competitive 176 for eight after a mini-collapse from the visitors, which saw them being reduced to 73/5 before Pooran bailed them out. While Gujarat &amp; Chennai have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

LSG may have never lost a game against MI but pressure will be high on Tuesday as Lucknow and Mumbai lock horns in their most crucial game of IPL 2023 so far

Tuesday is most likely the most important day in IPL 2023 for both Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians.
With the race to playoffs getting intense, the team ending up on the winning side between LSG and MI will boost its chances of making it to the last 4.
Mumbai has peaked at the right time and on the back of 4 wins from the last 5 games, Rohit Sharma's men sit in the 3rd spot with 14 points.
MI's bowling clearly needs attention but it's their batters who have lit up the IPL. Suryakumar Yadav has been the destroyer in chief and is also coming off a ton in the previous game.
Lucknow has had a stop-start season, and despite losing 2 of their last 4 games, and one of those matches being washed out, LSG too would be high on confidence after their thumping win against Hyderabad in the previous encounter.
However, Lucknow will miss their regular skipper KL Rahul a little more on Tuesday. The match will be played on a tricky Ekana wicket, a ground where KL managed to dig deep and score.
Moreover, Rahul smashed 2 hundreds against MI in both games against MI last season.
TEAM NEWS
Though there is no update on Tilak Varma's fitness, he might miss this crucial clash as well. Mumbai's young sensation missed the last 2 games as well but Nehal Wadhera filled up his shoes perfectly.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
LSG and MI have faced each other just twice till now, with Lucknow winning both those games in IPL 2022.
LUCKNOW WEATHER FORECAST
It will be a hot evening in Lucknow on Tuesday and the MET department hasn't predicted any rain.

Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen was fined 10 per cent of his match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during his side's seven-wicket loss to Lucknow Super Giants here on Saturday.
The South African, who top-scored with a 29-ball 47 to push their total to 182/6, had an <a href="https://www.editorji.com/s/i/ipl-2023-srh-vs-lsg-hyderabad-fans-hurl-objects-at-lucknow-s-dugout-1683980947960">animated chat with the leg umpire.</a> He also expressed his dissatisfaction while talking to the broadcasters.
"Klaasen admitted to the Level 1 Offence under Article 2.7 which states the use of public criticism/inappropriate comment in the IPL&rsquo;s Code of Conduct," IPL said in a statement.
Avesh Khan bowled a waist-high full toss to Abdul Samad but leg umpire Akshay Totre did not call it a no-ball.
SRH called for a DRS but to their horror, TV umpire Yeshwant Barde also ruled it in favour of the bowling team.
An unruly crowd behaviour followed the incident as Klaasen criticised it in the mid-innings break.
"Disappointed with the crowd to be honest, that's not what you want. That also broke the momentum, not great umpiring either," Klaasen said. Lucknow Super Giants' veteran India spinner Amit Mishra was also reprimanded for breaching the IPL&rsquo;s Code of Conduct.
"The leg-spinner admitted to level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of IPL&rsquo;s Code of Conduct which states abuse of equipment during the match. Mr Mishra accepted the sanction." For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee&rsquo;s decision is final and binding, the statement added.&nbsp;
