KL Rahul out wits Rishabh Pant as Lucknow Super Giants sealed a 6 wicket win over Delhi Capitals in the 15 match of IPL on Thursday. Quinton de Kock completed his half-century as LSG took firm control of the proceedings against the Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant said, ‘’ When the dew is like that you can't be complaining, as a batting unit we were 10-15 short, at the end Avesh and Holder pulled it back, credit to them. We were talking about giving 100% till the last ball of the 40th over, no matter what happens [on his chat to the team before the start of the 2nd innings]. The powerplay was fine, we didn't get any wicket, our spin attack did well in the middle overs but in the end we were 10-15 short.’’
De Kock, however, remains key for LSG as they look to chase down a total of 150. Earlier, Prithvi Shaw top-scored with a 61-run knock as DC managed to post a total of 149 for three against LSG.
Apart from Shaw, skipper Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan played cameos of 39 and 36 after DC lost quick wickets in the middle.
For LSG, Ravi Bishnoi took two wickets while K Gowtham also picked up a wicket.
It probably won't be long before KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are entrusted with the fortunes of Indian cricket. Their talent is apparent. And it is all because they make the game look easy.
Delhi began their IPL 2022 season on a high, beating 5-time champions Mumbai Indians, but they slipped in their next encounter against newbies Gujarat Titans.
