LSG’s Yash Thakur and Krunal Pandya shine as they defeat Gujarat Titans by 33 runs in IPL 2024

Lucknow Super Giants put up a stellar performance as they defeated Gujarat Titans by 33 runs in a thrilling encounter at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday. Yash Thakur and Krunal Pandya were the stars with the ball, taking 5 and 3 wickets respectively, while Ravi Bishnoi’s one-handed flying catch stole the show.

Bishnoi’s incredible catch to dismiss Kane Williamson in the 8th over of the match left everyone in awe. The leg-spinner bowled a perfect delivery, tempting Williamson to drive, only for the former New Zealand captain to chip it in the air. Bishnoi, in his follow-through, flew to his right and plucked the ball out of thin air with his right hand, leaving everyone stunned.

Jonty Rhodes, the fielding coach of Lucknow Super Giants, was impressed by Bishnoi’s effort and applauded the young spinner for his exceptional catch. Rhodes, known for his acrobatic fielding during his playing days, has been instrumental in improving the fielding standards of the LSG players.

In a video shared by the official IPL handle, Rhodes was seen decoding Bishnoi’s ‘flying catch’ and praising the youngster for his dedication towards fielding practice. Bishnoi, in response, credited his quick reaction to instinct and the mantra of ‘If you don’t go, you’ll never know’.

With three consecutive wins, Lucknow Super Giants are currently placed third in the points table and are set to face Delhi Capitals in their next match on Friday. The team will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum and continue their impressive run in the IPL 2024 season.
