In the IPL 2023 match on Monday, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) failed to chase down a meagre 127 against Royal Challengers Bangalore, continuing their terrible home form. After a terrible start, Lucknow lost their top five wickets in only seven overs. Despite some effort from Krishnappa Gowtham, LSG was bowled out for 108 in 19.5 overs and went on to lose the match by 18 runs.
Earlier, while LSG managed to restrict at 126/9 in 20 overs, Amit Mishra, Ravi Bishnoi, and Naveen-ul-Haq each took two wickets while Naveen-ul-Haq took three. With a contribution of 44(40), Faf du Plessis recovered the Orange Cap. KL Rahul's limping off the pitch in the second over gave LSG a serious injury worry. The event occurred as the Lucknow captain pursued a ball that was heading for the cover barrier. He did come out to bat, but he didn't take any easy singles, giving the impression that things would get serious.
