Crowd trouble marred Lucknow Super Giants' impressive victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) clash on Saturday. As a few decisions went against SRH on the field, fans turned rogue and started to throw objects on the field, prompting the match to come to a halt for a brief interval. After a report claimed that nuts and bolts were thrown at the LSG dugout by fans, the franchise's fielding coach Jonty Rhodes revealed that one of the object hit their player Prerak Mankad on the head.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season won't just be remembered for Nicholas Pooran's heroic batting at the death but also for the home crowd's unruly behaviour. The match encountered plenty of trouble from fans over certain incidents that took place on the field. However, even when there were no triggers, fans started to chant the name of Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli, especially when LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir was around. Even on social media platform Twitter, Gambhir became one of the top trends during and after the match.

It was 2009 when strategic time-outs were introduced in the IPL for the first time. Originally intended as a time to huddle together and re-group on game strategy during an inning, time-outs have now become the mainstay of how IPL sides plan their run chases or target defence mid-innings. Often, strategic time-outs have also been catalysts to start or stop a side's momentum during innings, eventually influencing match outcomes.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday announced that Abdul Rehman and Umar Gul will be the head coach and bowling coach respectively for the side during the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan later this month.

He also won two National T20s as head coach of Peshawar Panthers and was Peshawar Zalmi's assistant coach when they won the HBL Pakistan Super League in 2017.
