Hyderabad ke maidan par kal raat kuch aisa hua jo cricket ke purest forms ko define karta hai. Ek team ki zabardast comeback, doosri ki adhoori koshish aur phir ek Gamechanger ki Masterclass finish! IPL 2026 ka yeh match poora rollercoaster ride tha, jahan Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ne Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ko paanch wickets se haraakar apna account khola. Aur is Dominance ke architect the – hamaare apne Mohammed Shami aur Rishabh Pant!
The Inner Story / Asli Maajra: Kaise LSG ne SRH ko Maat Di!
Kissa shuru hota hai jab Rishabh Pant ne toss jeetkar SRH ko batting ke liye bulaya. Aur uske baad jo hua, woh kisi Prophecy se kam nahi tha! Mohammed Shami, apne purane team ke khilaaf, ek alag hi form mein the. Pehli hi over ki aakhri ball par Abhishek Sharma ko offcutter se lapet liya, aur agle over ki pehli ball par Travis Head ko slower one se outfox kiya. Markram ne mid-off par diving catch pakda, aur SRH 11 run par 2 wicket kho chuki thi. Shami ki spell 2-0-9-2, ek Masterclass in powerplay bowling!
Abhi SRH is jhatke se ubhri bhi nahi thi ki Prince Yadav ne Ishan Kishan ka off stump ukhad diya, aur Digvesh Rathi ne Liam Livingstone ko bhi chalte kiya. Result? SRH 26/4 par! Lag raha tha ki kahani yahi khatam ho jaayegi.
Lekin cricket hai bhai, unpredictable! Heinrich Klaasen aur Nitish Kumar Reddy ne milkar SRH ko naya jeevan diya. Pichle match mein bhi in dono ne hi sahara diya tha, aur iss baar record tod diya. 116 runs ki partnership, woh bhi sirf 63 balls mein – SRH ke liye highest fifth-wicket partnership! Klaasen (62) aur Reddy (56) ne lagaatar boundaries aur sixes lagaye. Ek waqt SRH 170+ tak pahunchti dikh rahi thi.
Par LSG ke bowlers ne death overs mein phir se Gamechanger performance di. Siddharth ne Reddy ko out kiya, aur phir Avesh Khan ne Klaasen ko Pant ke ek aur acrobatic catch par out karaya. Last 4 overs mein SRH sirf 33 runs bana payi aur 5 wickets kho diye. Target set hua: 157 runs.
LSG ki chase ki shuruaat Aiden Markram ne dhamakedar ki. 27 balls mein 45 runs, unhone LSG ko desired start diya. Ek taraf Rishabh Pant struggle kar rahe the, unki timing nahi aa rahi thi, lekin Markram ne scoring rate maintain rakha. Jab Markram out hue, to mid-over mein LSG ki batting thodi ladkhadai. Ayush Badoni stump out hue aur Nicholas Pooran run out ho gaye. Ekdum se match mein naya twist aa gaya.
Last ke five overs mein 43 runs chahiye the. Pant abhi tak 'uncharacteristic' innings khel rahe the, par pressure mein unka Gamechanger roop dikha. Jaydev Unadkat ke final over mein 9 runs chahiye the. Pehli ball par drill kiya four, doosri ball par slower one ko swat kiya down the ground for another four! Score level! Do dots ke baad, Pant ne mid-off ke upar se loft kiya aur match seal kar diya! Kya finish! Rishabh Pant ka yeh naya, patient, aur phir explosive roop dekhkar sab dang reh gaye.
