Nicholas Pooran’s led LSG to fabulous win against RCB

Talking about Lucknow’s previous game, they took on Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, and the visitors took quite a beating in the first innings as Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell played sensational knocks. The batters scored 61, 79*, and 59 runs, respectively. Through their magnificent batting performance, Bangalore posted 212 runs on the board after 20 overs.

Coming in to bat during the run chase, the top order of Lucknow could not amount to much as Kyle Mayers was dismissed on a duck and skipper KL Rahul only managed to score 18 runs as well. However, it were the brilliant knocks of Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni that led Lucknow to a thrilling win.

Pooran played a fabulous knock, scoring the fastest half-century of the 2023 tournament so far. The 27-year-old scored 62 runs in just 19 deliveries and his knock was integral in Lucknow's thrilling win.
