IPL 2023: Historic! Lucknow Super Giants Register Sensational Record With Massive Score Against Punjab Kings

A display of brutal hitting from Kyle Mayers and Marcus Stoinis fired Lucknow Super Giants to 257 for five, the second highest total in IPL history, against a profligate Punjab Kings in the IPL on Friday. Mayers (54 off 24) went on the rampage in the Powerplay before Stoinis (72 off 40) effortlessly collected boundaries at will to help his team set a massive target. The other important contributions came from Ayush Badoni (43 off 24) and Nicholas Pooran (45 off 19). Back to lead Punjab after three games, Shikhar Dhawan opted to field but his bowlers were all over the place on a belter of a track. Barring Rahul Chahar, all the other six bowlers leaked more than 10 runs per over. The usually frugal Arshdeep Singh leaked 54 runs in four overs and Kagiso Rabada gave away 52 runs in four overs although he had two wickets to show for his efforts.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul was left bamboozled as his side faltered in an unlikely manner, while chasing a paltry target of 136 runs against Gujarat Titans. Rahul himself scored a half-century but didn't manage to finish the innings. After Lucknow's defeat against Gujarat, even the franchise's skipper was lambasted even though he scored 68 runs. Rahul was criticised by many for his knock as it came in 61 balls. Though the match ended in a defeat for his side, Rahul did manage to break a record of Virat Kohli during the match.
