Bizarre - Rishabh Pant's Act Forces Toss To Take Place Twice During RR vs LSG IPL 2025, Riyan Parag Can't Stop Smiling
The Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2025 game was witness to a bizarre incident - the toss taking place twice. It happened because when RR stand-in captain Riyan Parag spun the coin, LSG captain Rishabh Pant did not call anything. It left Parag confused. As he started laughing, Pant told him: "Aise hi fek dia (you spun the coin just like that)?" That made Simon Doull, the presenter, "Take Two Please."

Talking about the match, Blistering fifties from Aiden Markram and Ayush Badoni, embellished by Abdul Samad's flashy cameo in the end, lifted Lucknow Super Giants to 180/5 against Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. It was a gripping affair between the bat and ball as the Super Giants and the Royals fought for control on a scorching night in Rajasthan. LSG found solace in Markram and Badoni's fifties, while Rajasthan found success in Wanindu Hasaranga's spin web.
After winning the toss and opting to bat, the Super Giants tried to capitalise on the opportunity by using their in-form deadly opening duo to reap success. Markram drew the first blood by despatching the ball for back-to-back fours in the opening over to extract 12 runs out of Jofra Archer's over.
The English tearaway returned to haunt the opening pair by luring Mitchell Marsh to sky it a mile up in the air and hole it to Shimron Hetmyer. LSG's explosive and Orange Cap holder Nicholas Pooran stepped on the crease to ensure his side maintained a healthy run flow.
