Lucknow Super Giants had a terrible start when Trent Boult dismissed captain KL Rahul on the first ball of the chase.
When KL was asked to define the ball bowled to him by the Kiwi speedster, the right-handed batter said he did not see it.
“I did not see it; otherwise, I would have played it,” said KL Rahul. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals won the game by 3 runs.
Batting first, Rajasthan were in trouble before Shimron Hetmyer’s knock of 59 off 36 balls took the team to 165/6.
Chasing 166, LSG scored 162/8 in 20 overs. Quinton de Kock (39), Marcus Stoinis (38 not out), Deepak Hooda (25), and Krunal Pandya (22) tried their best, but Yuzvendra Chahal (4 wickets) and Trent Boult (2 wickets) did not allow the KL Rahul-led team to win the game.
