IPL: Top 5 batting performances for LSG
Prior to the 2024 installment of the cash-rich league, let’s discuss LSG’s five greatest batting performances.
4. Nicholas Pooran’s 62 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2023
The intriguing contest between LSG and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2023 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium became memorable for IPL fans due to Nicholas Pooran’s extraordinary knock for the former. Chasing a mammoth target of 213, Lucknow lost four batters at a score of 99 in 10.4 overs.
After a few minutes of Pooran’s arrival at the crease, Challengers removed KL Rahul and pushed the visitors into a precarious state. In the crunch situation, the West Indies stalwart showed nerves of steel and scored his fifty in just 15 deliveries. Pooran went back to the pavilion after notching up 62 runs with 11 boundaries (seven maximums and four fours) off just 19 deliveries.
The Caribbean player’s spunky knock took the game close for Lucknow. At the time of Pooran’s departure, LSG required 24 off 18, and in the end, tailenders Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi held their nerves and helped Lucknow register a one-wicket win. Pooran’s breathtaking batting effort got him the Player of the Match award.
