In the game between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Lucknow Super Giants, there was an intense moment exchanged between Nicholas Pooran and Krunal Pandya. The bowler was smart while bowling to Pooran as he was bowling it away from his hitting arc. The Caribbean is known for his explosive spin hitting ability and the bowler managed to keep him quiet. It was an interesting match up between the two as they were teammates at LSG and there are also talks going around that it could have been a friendly competitive moment.

The incident occurred when Mitchell Marsh was unleashing his wrath on the RCB bowling unit and Rajat Patidar was forced to make a change. Krual Pandya was brought in to tighten the flow of runs and to possibly take a gamble against Nicholas Pooran. He bowled a couple of bouncers in the over and they couldn’t put it away to the boundary. The intent was there from the batters but they couldn’t get the absolute better off Pandya. The heated exchange came after Nicholas Pooran took a single off Krunal Pandya and both of them got too close to each other, which seemed really tense.

 

Mitchell Marsh’s explosive innings powered LSG to 212 against RCB

The Lucknow Super Giants had a really good 1st innings as Mitchell Marsh was simply exceptional in his strokeplay. Akshat Raghuvanshi was really cautious in his approach and he didn’t really score many runs. They would have felt that there were plenty of runs missed in the balls played by Raghuvanshi. The frequent rain interruptions did not bother the rhythm of the batting side as they batted with composure. Rishabh Pant played a fabulous cameo along with Nicholas Pooran at the end and they finished at a total of 212 after the 19 overs.

It will be a tense match between the sides as they have a history of verbal battles between the personnel of both sides. RCB will be hoping that they can chase this down to have a cushion in the playoffs scenario. With a victory in this match, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will move up the table.
