Lucknow Super Giants ke captain Rishabh Pant ne maan liya ki unki team ne kuch runs aur bana liye hote toh match ka result kuch aur hota. MI ke khilaf 228 ka target defend karte hue LSG ko 6 wicket se haar ka samna karna pada.
PTI ke mutabiq, Pant ne kaha, "Jis tarah humne start kiya, mujhe lagta hai humein aur runs chahiye the. Bilkul, boys ne freely khela, lekin end mein, mujhe lagta hai unhonne (MI) acchi bowling ki kyunki woh in conditions ke aadi hain."
Rohit-Rickelton ki batting ne LSG ki umeedein tod di
MI ki taraf se Rohit Sharma ne 84 runs aur Ryan Rickelton ne 83 runs ki dhamakedar innings khel. In dono ki batting ne LSG ke 228 ke target ko aasaan bana diya. MI ne yeh target 8 balls spare ke saath chase kar liya.
Pant ne yeh bhi maana ki MI ke bowlers ne end mein acchi bowling ki. Unhone kaha, "Unhonne (MI) acchi bowling ki kyunki woh in conditions ke aadi hain."
LSG ki playoff umeedein mushkil
Is haar ke baad LSG ki playoff mein pohochne ki umeedein aur mushkil ho gayi hain. Team ko ab baaki matches mein jeetna hoga aur doosre teams ke results par bhi depend karna hoga.
Hamaari Baat: Pant ki baat mein dum hai
Pant ki baat mein dum hai. 228 ka target koi chhota target nahi tha, lekin MI ki batting ne dikhaya ki woh kisi bhi target ko chase kar sakte hain. LSG ko apni bowling mein sudhaar karna hoga. Rohit aur Rickelton ki batting ne dikhaya ki agar aap acchi batting karte ho toh koi bhi target mushkil nahi hota. LSG ke liye ab har match do ya teen ke barabar hai.
