LSG chose to bowl first, and despite Virat Kohli\u2019s quick 50-run stand, he was eventually dismissed by Amit Mishra. Faf du Plessis smashed the longest six of IPL 2023, and along with Glenn Maxwell, attacked the leg-spin bowlers, setting a massive target of 213 runs for LSG. LSG lost three wickets in the powerplay, but Marcus Stoinis and later Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran led a counter-attack, bringing the game back to a close finish. The game\u2019s momentum shifted when Harshal Patel took two wickets in the final over, but LSG ultimately won with a quick single after a \u2018Mankad-miss\u2019 moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1681151249365\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\">\n<blockquote><p><b>Nicholas Pooran | Player of the Match:<\/b>\u00a0I want to dedicate this performance to my wife and new born.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congratulations to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicholas_47?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@nicholas_47<\/a> & Kathrinam Pooran on the arrival of their lil' bundle of joy Alayra! \ud83e\udd70\ud83e\udd17<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperFam?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperFam<\/a>, let the \ud83e\udef6 keep flowing for our <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperGiant?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperGiant<\/a>! \ud83d\udc9a<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LucknowSuperGiants?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LucknowSuperGiants<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LSG?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LSG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KEzo6Z1baR\">pic.twitter.com\/KEzo6Z1baR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lucknow Super Giants (@LucknowIPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LucknowIPL\/status\/1620414219962163201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Nicholas Pooran<\/strong> \u2013 We knew that the game was on, Stoinis and KL had a wonderful partnership. Stoinis kept us in the game and I knew this was a nice wicket. We could chase even over 50 in the last four, it was about cashing in. The second ball I came in and smashed a six. It isn\u2019t about getting a look in, if it is in my slot then I will smash it for six. Over the past couple of years, I\u2019ve put a lot of pressure on myself to finish games. Today also I wanted to finish the game, but got out in the end. I hope this is the season for me, in a good space and state of mind. Just want to enjoy my cricket, play with a smile and entertain, and win games for my team.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Last night was just unreal. <br \/>Thank you Bangalore \u2665\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wvKvpxQYrc\">pic.twitter.com\/wvKvpxQYrc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NickyP (@nicholas_47) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicholas_47\/status\/1645582900757413889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1681150347981\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RCB vs LSG game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium was a dramatic match in IPL history, breaking multiple records and\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":41150,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[608,894],"class_list":["post-20608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-kl-rahul","tag-nicholas-pooran"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
