"Finally a Hooda-Krunal lafda!" - Fans troll Krunal, LSG for Hooda run-out & batting collapse against PBKS in IPL 2022

​

Deepak Hooda's run-out (L) proved to be the turning point in the LSG innings that led to a collapse. (P.C.:iplt20.com)

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) suffered an unusual batting collapse against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2022 on Friday. The highlight of their innings was the unfortunate run-out involving Krunal Pandya and Deepak Hooda.

Krunal and Hooda played together for Baroda, but the latter had accused the Baroda skipper of using foul words on him which led to a huge controversy. Although it looks like the duo have made peace with the past and have moved on, Hooda's run-out gave the fans something to speak about.

Fans on Twitter trolled Krunal for calling Hooda for a second run, which was probably not needed at that point. Hooda's wicket triggered a batting collapse which meant that LSG could only muster 153/8 in their first innings.

Here are some of the reactions to that run-out and the collapse:

All this batting depth but no quality. Hooda had one extra inning than his usual for the season. Krunal, Holder aren't that great. Their best opener is on bench who won them a game in highest chase. Nah they don't deserve to reach playoffs

The one match where LSG reduce their batting depth, is when they need it the most.

Here's the thing about batting depth, you can't measure it by the no of balls a no. 7/8 faces, you have to measure it qualitatively by seeing if the Top 6 is indeed taking a high risk approach.

If u leave KL, in the Last match LSG batters were 57(58). Someone must have given intent talk but this wasn't the pitch to display that. 🤣

LSG has failed to utilize Marcus Stoinis so far. They are not sure about his role in the team post-auction. One of the worst retention so far.

On an other day, KL would have just batted through and LSG might have been in a better position but that doesn't change that they weakened their batting knowingly and took the risk of this happening. #IPL2022 twitter.com/KOCricket528/s…

On good days, you might not need your batting depth but that doesn't mean you reduce it to strengthen bowling which wasn't their weakest front. I would understand if a team with weak bowling makes that call, not this team. #IPL2022 #LSGvPBKS

That was so unlike badoni. Someone in LSG wants them to score 200. This is not the pitch for that.

First time this season LSG’s batting has underperformed. MidToo many wickets thrown away with loose sttokws caused mid-innings collapse. Barely managed to get past 150. Need 2-3 wickets in Powerplay yo defend this

LSG lost their last seven wickets for just 46 runs

Mayank Agarwal finally won a toss and had no hesitation in putting LSG into bat first. KL Rahul's sensational century in the last game showed his importance as an anchor to his side. But the Lucknow skipper departed soon after and both Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda had to consolidate.

After getting their eye in, both began to play a bit more freely and at 98/1, Lucknow looked good to reach the 170-run mark. But Sandeep Sharma struck with a crucial breakthrough of De Kock. Lucknow once again held back Marcus Stoinis and sent Krunal Pandya at No.4.

Deepak Hooda's run-out opened the floodgates for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowlers. Kagiso Rabada and Rahul Chahar squeezed the opposition batting and from 98/1, Lucknow slipped to 111/6.

Some lusty blows from the likes of Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera and Mohsin Khan helped Lucknow cross the 150-run mark. However, PBKS have got off to a decent start with the bat and KL Rahul will need quick wickets from his bowlers if they want to make a match out of this.
