KKR vs LSG Live: Ravi Bishnoi strikes with spectacular wicket of Andre Russell, boosting LSG’s IPL Playoffs hopes

In a crucial match that could determine their qualification for the IPL Playoffs, Ravi Bishnoi, the talented spinner of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), delivered a remarkable performance by dismissing Andre Russell. This wicket brought LSG one step closer to securing their place in the playoffs, with the team currently standing at 15 points. A victory in the match would take them to 17 points, making them the third team to qualify, and leaving only one spot for either Mumbai Indians or Royal Challengers Bangalore to compete for.

With a deceptive delivery, Bishnoi bowled a well-disguised googly, leaving Russell clueless. The ball darted in short, completely deceiving the batsman, and went on to hit the stumps. It was a stunning display of leg-spin bowling, showcasing Bishnoi’s talent and understanding of the game.
