Lucknow: Who says T20 is only a batsmen's format? Who says that IPL is fun only when fours and sixes are hit. Just look at this ball of Lungi Ngidi. The swaying-swaying ball that was released dancing on Ngidi's fingers created such magic as soon as it hit the pitch that Nicholas Pooran was mesmerized. Caribbean star Pooran did not realize when his stump was uprooted and when the magical delivery scattered his balls. Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium of Lucknow became the witness of this magical ball. The occasion was the first match of IPL 2026 between Lucknow Supergiants and Delhi Capitals.
Puran had come to rescue LSG from its troubles.
On its home ground, Lucknow team loses the toss and comes to bat first, but its start was so bad that three wickets fell within 50 runs. Captain Rishabh Pant (seven runs in nine balls), Aiden Markram (11 runs in eight balls) and Ayush Badoni (0 runs in three balls) had returned to the pavilion. Nicholas Pooran entered the crease in the seventh over, whose job along with Mitchell Marsh was to get the team out of trouble and then score a big score.
