LSG entertained the home fans with a spectacular performance in Lucknow. Here's a look at the top three moments from this IPL 2024 game which generated a buzz in the cricket universe.
#1 Ravi Bishnoi takes one of the best catches in IPL 2024
Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi turned the momentum in Lucknow Super Giants' favor with a fantastic catch to dismiss Kane Williamson. Yash Thakur broke the opening stand between Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill by rattling the latter's stumps.
The duo added 54 runs for the first wicket, and then, Kane Williamson joined Sudharsan in the middle. Gujarat Titans fans had high hopes from the experienced Williamson, but before he could get going, Ravi Bishnoi dismissed him with a stunner.
Williamson tried to play a ball from Bishnoi towards the mid-on region, but he could not time it to perfection. The ball was set to fly over the umpire's head. However, Bishnoi put his right hand up at the right time and grabbed a stunner to send Williamson back to the dressing room for just one run.
#2 Mayank Yadav's injury in IPL 2024
Mayank Yadav grabbed the limelight with his fiery pace in the previous two matches of Lucknow Super Giants. The express pacer won the Man of the Match award in the games against the Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
While fans at the Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium would have hoped to witness another exciting spell from Yadav, he only managed to bowl one over, where he leaked 13 runs.
After that, Mayank went off the field and did not return to bowl any overs. He had a side strain, which stopped him from giving his 100%. Fans are waiting for an update on Yadav's availability for the next game against Delhi Capitals.
