What are the odds of seeing an engaging battle when a bottom ranked team collides with the top three teams the IPL table in a must win clash, where both teams are looking for crucial points so as to further their bit for the play-offs? More often than not, you would have thought that a team like Lucknow already faced with several problems on their sleeve would have struggled against mighty task force. That is the Bangalore outfit after all, not a lot has gone. Lucknow‘s Way. They are batting and bowling Bose out there for the fans to see and their captain Pant clearly under pressure. But then this is Cricket a game of glorious uncertainties. And to expect the unexpected is the golden rule, which often takes place. As was also the case last evening. What are the most interesting facets about the Royal Challengers, Bangalore and Lucknow super Giants game last evening was not just the fact that Lucknow overcame highly dangerous, looking opponent, but also the fact that the best bat on either side failed to score any runs and got out for a duck. We are talking about none other than Virat Kohli himself, the great man. It isn’t a highly common site. In fact, rare one to see Virat Kohli getting out for a duck.  

That’s out of a thing doesn’t happen usually, and therefore it points to the bowling brilliance of the person who takes his prized wicket. On May 7, 2026, that grand owner belong to Prince Yadav of Lucknow team, who was asked in the aftermath of the game about his feelings on taking the big mighty wicket, and whether the line that he stuck for Virat Kohli was a conscious decision.

“He said that after their previous outing, Virat Kohli himself had shared the trick to stick to his length and for as long as sticking to the length was giving him the much-needed results- he should not let go of it and should keep at it.”

*This is precisely what Prince Yadav did. * And a what a mega wicket it really was for not just Prince Yadav but the entirety of his team. After all being disciplined with 1 line and length does go along way to fetch success as it did in Prince Yadav‘s case.
