In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Gautam Gambhir and the Kolkata Knight Riders have been friends for a very long time.
In multiple seasons, the franchise benefited greatly from the former India opener, who led them to two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014.
However, following the pair’s altercation on the field during the current tournament, the crowd chanted Virat Kohli’s name as a prank and showed no mercy to the Lucknow Super Giants coach.
Gambhir, whose LSG side had the option to meet all requirements for the end-of-the-season games with a thin success over KKR, motioned the group to bring down the volume prior to breaking into a grin himself.
The crowd at Eden Gardens began chanting Kohli’s name while pacer Naveen-ul-Haq was given the ball, and Gambhir wasn’t the only one who was targeted by the chants.
Rinku Singh’s battling thump of 67 runs went to no end as Lucknow Super Monsters crushed Kolkata Knight Riders by 1 run in a spine-chiller in their Indian Head Association (IPL) 2023 match.
LSG’s IPL 2023 campaign came to an end when they lost to KKR, but the win ensured them a playoff spot.
Nicholas Pooran’s crucial counterattacking knock of 58(30) helped Lucknow Super Giants reach the Playoffs, but not before they beat Kolkata Knight Riders in a last-over thriller and survived a Rinky Singh scare.
Pooran’s battling thump assisted LSG with recuperating from 73/5 and pushed them to a serious 176/8.
After that, Impact Player Yash Thakur defended 21 in the final over, and Ravi Bishnoi bowled an impressive 2/23 as LSG survived another heroic performance from Rinku Singh (67* off 33).
This allowed LSG to win the match by one run.
