Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings, Match 11 - Live Cricket Score

Head almost chopped the second ball of the third over back onto his stumps. However, luck favoured him as he got a single. Poor fielding from Mohit Sharma gives Mayank Agarwal his first boundary.

"Never thought it would be such a good debut. Was nervous before the match. Tried to stick to my pace and aim at the stumps. Was thinking about using slower ones initially, but stuck to the quick ones. First wicket (Bairstow) was special. It's good to debut at such a young age. Had a few goals, but can't help if injuries come in the way," Yadav said.

"Wonderful start, nice to win in front of the home crowd. We had conversations, spoke about getting good starts. Spoke about getting the right combinations. It was a good total. It's a big venue, one side is big, one side short. It's about getting wickets and getting boundaries. It's only going to get challenging. Shikhar and Bairstow played well. They didn't take the game away from us as we got wickets at the right time. That was an inspiring performance, he (Mayank Yadav) is a young guy. He showed the entire world how good he is. He is not only fast, but is accurate. It's the beauty of the IPL, gives the local players to perform. Wonderful platform. Every game is an opportunity, expect them to get better. The groundsmen have contributed, as a batsman you can't ask for anything more," Pooran said.

"Very happy with the win, first point on the board, it's a nice feeling. Bowlers took it on a good wicket. They had a good start but the bowlers were brilliant to stay in the game. Young Mayank Yadav bowled with serious heat and got wickets. Very happy for him. He got injured in the first warm up game last season and got ruled out so had to manage him better this time. He bowled 155 tonight and made life uncomfortable. He ran in and that was the pleasing thing for all of us. It was a good wicket and for him to stick to that hard length - that's his strength - in this humidity in your first game in front of a big crowd, credit to him. Happy with 2 points tonight," Morkel said.

"They played well, pity that Livi (Livingstone) got injured, that hurt us, he would have come at 4. We started off well, but Mayank bowled well with his pace. It was nice facing him, I was surprised at his pace, but I wanted to use his pace against him, but he bowled the bouncers and the yorkers well. I was quite mindful, asked the batters to use the short side and use his pace, but he bowled into his body (on Bairstow's dismissal) and got him OUT, I said the same to Jitesh as well. But Mohsin bowled really well, he kept a good length and suffocated us. We will have to analyse these defeats, the drop catch did cost us some momentum. That's something we'll have to improve going forward," Dhawan said.

Lucknow Super Giants won their first game of the season. They defeated Punjab Kings by 21 runs at Ekana. Owner Sanjeev Goenka is delighted with the result as he high-five's business partner Utsav Pareek in the stands.
