A strong performance by Mohsin Khan, Prince Yadav, and Mohammed Shami helped Lucknow Super Giants limit Rajasthan Royals to 159/6 in their recent Indian Premier League match. Despite a late push by Ravindra Jadeja, who scored 43 not out off 29 balls, the standout was the tactical prowess of LSG’s seamers who dismantled RR’s top order.
Lucknow Super Giants, choosing to bowl first, faced an aggressive start from RR’s Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, but the momentum shifted when Shami took two wickets in two balls in the third over. Shami’s sharp bouncer removed Jaiswal, followed by a catch by Rishabh Pant to dismiss Dhruv Jurel for a duck.
The pressure mounted as Mohsin Khan bowled a maiden over to Sooryavanshi, leading to his dismissal by mistiming a shot to cover. Prince Yadav then struck, taking out Riyan Parag and Donovan Ferreira, leaving RR struggling at 110/6. Jadeja’s explosive final over, supported by Shubham Dubey, added respectability to RR’s total.
