A hat-trick of defeats means that their campaign is almost over. Same is the case with DC who are also hanging by a thread

IPL 2024, DC vs LSG: Arshad Khan's knock in vain as Hat-trick of defeats put Lucknow on the brink of elimination

LSG needed to win on Tuesday in order to have a bright chance of making it to IPL 2024 playoffs but the Delhi Capitals beat LSG by 19 runs to put them on the brink of elimination.

IPL 2024, DC vs LSG: Hat-trick of defeats put Lucknow on the brink of elimination

<h2>A hat-trick of defeats means that their campaign is almost over. Same is the case with DC who are also hanging by a thread</h2>

The Luknow Super Giants needed to win on Tuesday in order to have a bright chance of making it to IPL 2024 playoffs but the Delhi Capitals beat LSG by 19 runs to put them on the brink of elimination.
KL Rahul's decision to bowl first backfired as DC posted a mammoth 208/4 on back of a half-century each by Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs.
Like in recent games, LSG were once again off to a disastrous start as their top order fell like a pack of cards. The visitors were reduced to 44/4 but that's when Nicholas Pooran decided to counter attack.
He blasted a fiery fifty but LSG kept loosing wickets. When Pooran fell for a 27-ball-61 it seemed like the game would be over soon but Arshad Khan saved Lucknow some embarrassment and smashed a fluent 58.
However, just 2 batters couldn't take LSG over the finish line as they eventually managed 189/9.

<h2>Head and Abhishek let no Lucknow bowler settle in as they finished off the game with an unbeaten 167-run partnership</h2>

A fifty off just 16 balls, 107 without a wicket in the powerplay and 166 being chased down in just 9.4 overs. These may be unusual numbers for a few but for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, it was business as usual.
On a wicket where the Lucknow Super Giants batters found it tough to get going, SRH openers batted as if there was no tomorrow.
Travis Head blasted an unbeaten 89 while Abhishek Sharma smashed 75 not out as SRH chased down the target with 62 balls to spare.
Earlier, KL Rahul had opted to bat first but LSG's top order collapsed as the visitors found themselves at 66/4. Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran steadied the innings and helped LSG finish at 165/4.
However, Head and Abhishek let no Lucknow bowler settle in as they finished off the game with an unbeaten 167-run partnership.
SRH became the first team to chase down a target of over 160 inside 10 overs in IPL history. Apart from that, it was the highest total to be chased down inside 10 overs in men's T20s.
While LSG have now lost 2 games in a row, SRH returned to winning ways and did their playoff chances a world of good. The result also meant that Mumbai Indians became the first team to be knocked out of IPL 2024.

Mohsin Khan reveals that LSG practiced to rectify their shortcomings from last game and the results were on display as they triumphed MI by 4 wickets.

Mohsin Khan reveals that LSG practiced to rectify their shortcomings from last game and the results were on display as they triumphed MI by 4 wickets.

Mohsin Khan of LSG scalped two crucial wickets of Rohit Sharma and Nehal Wadhera as the hosts restricted Mumbai Indians to a paltry 144/7 on Tuesday.&nbsp; Speaking after the match, Khan said, 'We practice a lot. We rectified what was not working in the last match and the results are there to see. We worked well on our plan that is why we were able to restrict them (MI) to such a low score and eventually win the match.'&nbsp; The wicket at Ekana is not a high-scoring one. And Khan was of the same opinion, 'The ball was gripping and the wicket was slow today. It was not like the usual 200-par pitch, the score was expected to be around 160-165, they were 15-20 runs short. Our bowling was also good today.'&nbsp; LSG chased down 145 in 19.2 overs with back-in-form Marcus Stoinis scoring a match-winning 62 in 45 deliveries.&nbsp;

KL Rahul's decision to bowl first was the right call as LSG restricted Mumbai to 144/7. MI were reduced to 80/5 but Nehal Wadhera and Tim David made sure their bowlers had something to fight for.
Chasing which, LSG lost Arshin Kulkarni for a golden duck but KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis stitched a 58-run partnership.
The skipper was out for 28 but Stoinis once again proved to be Lucknow's saviour with a match-winning 62.
LSG needed 29 runs off the last 5 overs but that's when momentum shifted a bit and the equation boiled down to 22 needed off 16 balls. However, Nicholas Pooran kept his cool and took his side over the finish line in the last over.
While LSG have now won 3 of their last 4 games, MI were handed a hat-trick of defeats once again.

After their dismal show at Ekana, assistant coach Lance Klusener was certain about the kind of performances they need going forward if they were to have a shot at winning the IPL.&nbsp;

Lucknow Super Giants were handed another defeat after two continuous losses by the Rajasthan Royals, denting their chances at climbing up the order.&nbsp; After their dismal show at Ekana, assistant coach Lance Klusener was certain about the kind of performances they need going forward if they were to have a shot at winning the IPL.&nbsp; In the post-match press conference, Klusener first elaborated that Ekana has never seen big scores so it isn't right to compare conditions and stadiums even as high-scoring games have become normal this year.&nbsp; He then went on to emphasise on the necessary qualities required by them to keep the title within their reach, ' I think we just need to be a little bit more clinical. I think winning the IPL is about teams making sure that they're on top of everything batting, bowling, fielding.'
'For us to get deeper into the competition come later on in the month, we're going to have to make sure that we're putting all those little things together. We can't just bat well and not bowl well or field. So, we just need to make sure we put all that together,'Klusener added.&nbsp; Klusener also provided a minor update on the absence of Mayank Yadav stating, 'You'll see Mayank very shortly.'&nbsp; Yadav has been out of action since LSG's game against Gujarat Titans on April 07, 2024, after complaining of abdominal soreness. He has missed 4 games ever since.&nbsp;

Stoinis turned the game on its head with his maiden IPL hundred. He smashed an unbeaten 123 off just 63 balls to help his side beat CSK for the 2nd time in 4 days.

KL Rahul's decision to put CSK into bat was the right call but despite the hosts losing Ajinkya Rahane for just 1, Chennai posted a healthy 210/4.

<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.

Here's he talking about the 'ultimate goal'.

#MayankYadav #LSG 



<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.

Although he made his debut in 2024, the lanky pacer has been a member of the LSG squad since 2022. Despite warming the bench as a 19-year-old in the 2022 season, he missed all of the 2023 Indian Premier League because of injury.

<h2>"I had no experience of playing T20 cricket and had only played a couple of one-day (domestic) games." - Mayank Yadav recalls being picked by LSG in IPL 2022 auction</h2>

In an electrifying display at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2nd, Mayank Yadav, the dynamic fast bowler for the Lucknow Super Giants, shattered the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 records by clocking the fastest delivery at a breathtaking speed of 156.7 kmph against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. 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.

IPL 2024, RCB vs LSG: Mayank Yadav shines again as Lucknow register 2nd straight win

Quinton de Kock’s fiery 81 and pace sensation Mayank Yadav’s youthful brilliance fashioned LSG’ 28-run romp over RCB in their IPL 2024 match on Tuesday. Here is how the game unfolded.

RCB's run-chase never got going once Virat Kohli was out for 22 as the hosts found themselves at 58/4.

Quinton de Kock&rsquo;s fiery 81 and pace sensation Mayank Yadav&rsquo;s youthful brilliance fashioned Lucknow Super Giants&rsquo; 28-run romp over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2024 match on Tuesday.
Lucknow constructed their 181/5 around Quinton De Kock&rsquo;s 81 (56b) and Nicholas Pooran&rsquo;s unbeaten 40 (21b).
RCB threatened to miraculously scale 182 briefly through Mahipal Lomror, who produced a forceful 33 off 13 balls.
However, Mayank&rsquo;s scorching three-wicket haul (3/14) was not to be denied as the hosts were bundled out for 153.
But in reality, RCB&rsquo;s chase never really took off &ndash; partly by their own follies and partly by the excellence of Lucknow bowlers.
Lucknow opened the bowling with two spinners &ndash; Manimaran Siddharth and Krunal Pandya &ndash; and it did surprise Faf du Plessis (19 off 13) and Virat Kohli (22 off 16).
But the introduction of pacer Naveen-ul-Haq saw Kohli upping the ante, smoking him for six over the bowler's head.
The left-arm spinner Siddharth soon fetched the massive wicket of in-form Kohli as the latter&rsquo;s attempt to go inside out resulted in a simple catch to Devdutt Padikkal at backward point.
RCB went on a slide from that point losing skipper du Plessis, to a mindless run-out, Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green and found themselves at 58 for four in the eighth over.
This was the period when Mayank cranked up the pace in his three-over spell (3-0-13-2).
Maxwell tried to pull a 151 kmph laser beam from Mayank, but the high pace meant that the Aussie could not time his pull, resulting in a simple catch to Pooran at short mid-wicket.
Green was beaten by Mayank&rsquo;s raw pace as the delivery straightened a bit after pitching on the good length to rattle his off-stump.
The right-arm quick later added Rajat Patidar (27) to his kitty to reduce RCB to 103 for six, and the home side was sinking fast then.
Earlier, De Kock manifested his exceptional hitting skills with a fifty but Lucknow could not progress beyond a par score.
The left-hander selected the bowlers and positions around the ground to play his shots with precision but the RCB bowlers did not allow other batsmen, except Pooran, a free run.
The Super Giants went off the block quickly, reaching 32 for no loss in three overs and then making it 54 in the Power Play.
Most of the runs came from the blade of De Kock, who took a particular liking for pacer Mohammed Siraj.
The South African slammed him for three sixes &ndash; two in succession &ndash; spread across two overs &ndash; two powerful pulls and a handsome loft over mid-wicket.
KL Rahul, who captained the side after coming in as an impact sub against Punjab Kings in the previous game, started slowly making six runs off his first 10 balls.
But a six off left-arm pacer Yash Dayal gave his innings momentum and later he swept spinner Maxwell for a six.
However, Rahul perished soon as an attempt to pull Maxwell&rsquo;s good length delivery ended up in the palms of Mayank Dagar inside the circle.
The second substantial alliance in LSG innings followed Devdutt Padikkal&rsquo;s exit as De Kock and Marcus Stoinis (24, 15b) added 56 runs off 30 balls for the third wicket.
De Kock, who brought his fifty in 36 balls, kept his end going during this alliance as Stoinis hammered a six each off Maxwell and Green as LSG rolled on.
But the blooming partnership ended when Stoinis&rsquo; half-hearted swat was pouched by Dagar at point. De Kock departed soon, lofting Reece Topley to Dagar at long-on.
The LSG were 143 for four in 16.3 overs at that stage and needed a few more runs to reach safer shores.
Pooran, who biffed left-armer seamer Topley for three sixes in a row in the 19th over and two more maximums in the final over off Mohammed Siraj, gave them those during his final assault.
While RCB were handed their 3rd loss in 4 outings, LSG registered their 2nd consecutive win.

Rajasthan's decision to bat first proved right as skipper Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 82 in 52 balls and guided his side to a healthy 193/4.

Rajasthan made a 'Royal' start to their IPL 2024 campaign as they beat the Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs in Jaipur in the 1st game of a super Sunday.

Rajasthan made a 'Royal' start to their IPL 2024 campaign as they beat the Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs in Jaipur in the 1st game of a super Sunday.
Rajasthan's decision to bat first proved right as skipper Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 82 in 52 balls and guided his side to a healthy 193/4. He struck 3 fours and 6 sixes while adding 93 runs for the third wicket with Riyan Parag (43).
Lucknow's run-chase began on a disastrous note as they found themselves 3 down with just 11 runs on the board.
That's when KL Rahul dropped anchor and kept his side in the contest with a gritty 44-ball-58. He had a decent support from Deepak Hooda but he went back after a fiery 13-ball-26.
Nicholas Pooran then supported his skipper as the two put together an 85-run stand for the 5th wicket before Rahul departed in the 17th over.
Pooran cut loose post that but his unbeaten 64 off 41 balls went in vain as LSG finished on 173/6.
While Rajasthan next take on the Delhi Capitals at the same ground on Thursday, LSG will head back home and will host the Punjab Kings in Lucknow on Saturday.
Brief scores:
Rajasthan Royals: 193/4 20 overs (Sanju Samson 82 not out, Riyan Parag 43) beat LSG 173/6 (Nicholas Pooran 64 not out, KL Rahul 58, Trent Boult 2/35).

<h2>In regular skipper KL Rahul's absence, Krunal Pandya has proved his worth as a leader. But a knockout game will be his true test.</h2>

The Eliminator. The winner gets to progress to Qualifier 2 while the loser goes home. There's a lot at stake for both the Lucknow Super Giants &amp; the Mumbai Indians in this do-or-die clash. Thanks to their batting unit finally finding its rhythm, the Mumbai Indians will go into the Eliminator with renewed confidence, especially after they chased down yet another 200-plus total in dramatic fashion to reach here. Cameron Green finally showed his true worth in their last game, smashing an unbeaten century to demolish the Sunrisers. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants too didn't have it easy. Their 1-run victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders, where Rinku Singh gave them a mighty scare, gave them the vital two points to progress to this stage. With tiring pitches providing enough assistance, the Super Giants' spinners have finally started bossing games, and that has benefitted them immensely. But having reached here, LSG are well aware of the disappointment they faced last year when they were eliminated at the same stage by RCB. In regular skipper KL Rahul's absence, Krunal Pandya has proved his worth as a leader. But a knockout game will be his true test. With the Chepauk wicket also aiding spinners, the clash between the two sides could well be decided by the battle between Mumbai batters &amp; Lucknow spinners. Yet another fascinating contest awaits us!

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.

IPL 2023: LSG announce Jaydev Unadkat's replacement ahead of KKR clash

The Lucknow Super Giants have picked an all-rounder from Mumbai as Jaydev Unadkat's replacement ahead of the clash against KKR.

#IPL2023 #LSG #Unadkat

Lucknow Super Giants have picked a 20-year-old all-rounder from Mumbai, Suryansh Shedge, to replace the injured Jaydev Unadkat.

Young Mumbai all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has been picked as a replacement for injured seamer Jaydev Unadkat in Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL franchise said on Thursday.
The replacement comes more than two weeks after Unadkat was ruled out of the remainder of the IPL because of a left-shoulder injury, which he sustained while training in the nets.
"Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday brought Suryansh Shedge on board as a replacement for the injured Jaydev Unadkat for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023," the LSG said in a statement.
Suryansh joins LSG for Rs 20 lakh, the franchise informed.
The 20-year-old Shedge was included in Mumbai's 17-member Ranji squad last season after scoring 184 runs in eight games and claiming 12 wickets in the U-25 State A Trophy.
Unadkat's injury happened on the same day as that of LSG's regular captain KL Rahul, who hurt his right leg while chasing a ball in the outfield in the second over against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 1.
Playing in their second IPL season, LSG are currently placed third in the standings with 15 points from 13 matches.
They have so far won seven and lost five matches, and as far as their playoffs prospects are concerned, LSG are facing a must-win game against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata on Saturday.
