Avesh Khan successfully defended 9 runs off the final over of the match to secure a two-run win for LSG in Jaipur
Pacer Avesh Khan held his nerve in the death overs to help Lucknow Super Giants pull off a thrilling two-run win over Rajasthan Royals with a tight three-wicket spell in their IPL match here on Saturday. The Royals were cruising at 156 for 2 at the end of the 17th over, needing 25 runs from three overs with eight wickets in hand. But, Khan conceded five runs in the 18th over and took two wickets -- Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal -- before defending nine runs off the final over. In a tense final over, Khan dismissed Shimron Hetmyer (12) and conceded just six runs to hand LSG a memorable victory as RR ended at 178 for 5 in 20 overs, while chasing 181 for a win. It was heartbreak for the Royals, who lost from a dominant position to slump to their fourth straight loss -- and sixth defeat in eight matches. In the run chase, Jaiswal (74 off 52 balls) continued his roaring form with an entertaining fifty, while 14-year-old IPL's youngest player Vaibhav Suryavanshi (34 off 20 balls) made
Suryavanshi broke the record of Prayas Ray Barman, who made his IPL debut for RCB in 2019 at just 16 years and 157 days old
LSG decided to use their impact sub to replace Mitchell Marsh with Ayush Badoni after they lost their third wicket in the form of skipper Pant, with 54 on the board
Rajasthan would not want a change in personnel at home and would rather like to change the plans and try to execute them to perfection this time.
