IPL: Top 5 bowling performances for LSG
With the much-awaited 2024 IPL edition still a few weeks away, so for now, let’s talk about LSG’s top five bowling performances.
3. Avesh Khan’s 4/24 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 2022
Avesh Khan, who made his debut for LSG in 2022, recorded his best IPL bowling figures against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy. In the contest against the Orange Army, Lucknow batted first and put up a quality total of 169 runs on the board.
Chasing the target, SRH faced a double blow in the form of captain Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma within the first powerplay. Both losses were inflicted on the 2016 champions by Avesh Khan. At a score of 95, Sunrisers lost four batters but Nicholas Pooran held his nerves and played a fine knock to take his team close to the target.
With 27 required off 16, Avesh struck SRH again with the scalps of Pooran and Abdul Samad. The West Indies stalwart went back to the pavilion after playing a 34-run knock-off 24 balls while Samad got outclassed on a duck. In the end, Hyderabad fell 12 runs short and Avesh got the Player of the Match award for his superb bowling display (4/24 in four overs).
