Lucknow Super Giants defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets in the match played on Thursday. Batting first, Hyderabad scored 190 runs. In response, Lucknow achieved the target with 23 balls to spare. One of the reasons for Hyderabad’s defeat in the match was the failure of their top batsmen. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who came at number four, batted cautiously in the beginning but he too failed to score big. After being bowled, while going out of the field, he lost his temper and did something, the video of which is going viral.
Lucknow bowler Shardul Thakur dismissed Abhishek Sharma (6) and Ishan Kishan (0) in 2 consecutive balls in the third over. Nitish handled the innings with Travis Head, together they scored 61 runs for the third wicket. Head was dismissed after scoring 47 runs. Nitish batted cautiously but was bowled by Ravi Bishnoi on a score of 32 in 28 balls.
Nitish Kumar Reddy lost his cool
When Nitish Kumar Reddy, disappointed with his wicket, went out of the field, he angrily threw his helmet on the stairs before climbing the stairs. This video is going viral on social media.
Shardul Thakur became the hero of the match
Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 190 runs in 20 overs. This score was low on the batting pitch and the credit for this goes to Shardul Thakur, who took 4 wickets including Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma. For this he was also selected as the best player of the match.
Chasing 191 runs, Nicholas Pooran scored a quick 70 runs in 26 balls, in this innings he hit 6 sixes and 6 fours. Mitchell Marsh also played a good innings of 52 runs. Lucknow won the match by 5 wickets.
