The Super Over finish at Ekana triggered an immediate reaction online, with former IPL chairman Lalit Modi posting a sharp comment on the contest between KKR and LSG. He called it a typical IPL moment, pointing to the contrast in ownership and star power around the two franchises, and the drama that followed in the final over and Super Over.<\/p>\n
The post quickly picked up traction as fans debated the finish, with references to Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s KKR and Sanjiv Goenka\u2019s LSG adding another layer to the conversation.<\/p>\n
The tone of the reaction was pointed, framing the match as another example of IPL\u2019s unpredictable endings and high-pressure theatre.<\/p>\n
Sunil Narine delivered a decisive Super Over, conceding just one run and taking two wickets in three balls to put Kolkata in complete control. Nicholas Pooran fell first ball, beaten by a tossed-up off-break while going for a slog sweep.<\/p>\n
The ball went straight into the stumps. Rishabh Pant managed a single but could not change the pressure. Aiden Markram followed soon after, miscuing a lofted shot that was taken cleanly through a relay effort between Rovman Powell and Rinku Singh near the boundary.<\/p>\n
Lucknow finished on 1 for 2, leaving KKR a trivial target<\/strong><\/p>\n Kolkata\u2019s decision-making stood out under pressure. Narine kept it simple, bowled straight, and forced risky shots. LSG\u2019s call to send Pooran first was under scrutiny given his struggles in similar match-ups, and it backfired immediately.<\/p>\n In the field, KKR were sharp. The relay catch summed up their control in key moments. With just a single required, the Super Over never really stretched beyond three deliveries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cOnly in IPL\u201d \u2013\u00a0 Lalit Modi The Super Over finish at Ekana triggered an immediate reaction online, with former IPL\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":48057,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50486","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\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50486"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50496,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50486\/revisions\/50496"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
