‘Inka kya dimag nahi chalta?’ Sehwag slams Langer and Co. after Super Over loss to KKR | Cricket News

3 min readApr 27, 2026 05:36 PM IST Lucknow Super Giants have slipped right to the bottom of teh 2026 IPL table with a Super Over defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders. LSG have just two wins out of eight matches and the defeat on Sunday was their fifth one on the trot. On Sunday, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to field first. Former India batter Virender Sehwag has slammed the decision and questioned LSG’s star-studded backroom staff of head coach Justin Langer as well director of cricket Tom Moody and strategic advisor Kane Williamson for the call considering how poorly the team’s equally star-studded batting lineup has performed. “Lucknow Super Giants once again failed to chase down a total in this IPL. I just don’t understand. You have a Director of Cricket and a coach. Kane Williamson, Justin Langer and Tom Moody are all there. Inka kya dimag nahi chalta? (What are they thinking?) Are they not able to see how their team has been performing? The team is …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 27, 2026 08:40 AM IST Lucknow Super Giants’ fifth consecutive defeat in IPL 2026, in a Super Over thriller against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday, culminated in another ordinary batting display by Rishabh Pant’s side. Amidst the failures of a star-studded top order, Nicholas Pooran bore the brunt of sharp criticism for his twin failures in the regulation chase and the Super Over. Pooran, who walked in at No. 4 in a 156-run chase, fell for nine off 12 deliveries against Varun Chakaravarthy. The West Indian left-hander is enduring one of his poorest IPL seasons, just a year after slamming more than 500 runs in an edition for the first time in his career. Pooran has only aggregated 82 runs in eight innings, his 81.18 strike rate his lowest across seven years in the IPL.

Synopsis: Rinku Singh’s 83 trumps Mohsin Khan’s five-for as KKR pip LSG in Super Over thriller The calamities that ensued from a poor Powerplay were poised to dictate terms when Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants were set to meet again after a forgettable first half of the season. Poor starts from the openers have marred their run. So when two teams of weakened batting repositories clashed at the non-partisan Ekana, dullness and drama matched in equal measure across phases before the dust settled in a Super Over climax at midnight. On a black soil strip on Sunday, where LSG opted to bowl first, the ability to vary speeds was premium. But when Mohsin Khan skinned the KKR order with five wickets of unrelenting attack on both edges of the bat, the relative weakness of his team’s top order returned to bite them during an unoffending 156-run pursuit. AS IT HAPPENED | LSG VS KKR See-sawing comeback A generous smattering of two free hits and a boundary from an erring Kartik Tyagi’s final over …

IPL 2026, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Playing 11, Full Squad,  Players List: Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants face Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata Knight Riders at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, 7.30pm IST. This will be the second fixture between the two sides, with LSG having won a thriller the last time around by three wickets. LSG’s woes at the time at the top of the order was papered over by the fact that young Mukul Choudhary played an innings of a lifetime in the last three overs. Those woes have still not gone away and with no miracle innings coming either, LSG now go into this fixture on the back of four back to back defeats. KKR are the only team below them on the table. At the time that they lost to LSG, KKR seemed to be unable to find a way to win a match for the life of them. That trend continued until their last game, in which they finally …

Panicked, but “small ground, fast outfield gave time to catch up”

Panicked, but “small ground, fast outfield gave time to catch up”

Published by Parlour News

Mitchell Marsh crawled through much of the powerplay, unable to find the fluency that has marked his resurgent post pandemic. At one stage, he dug himself into a dot-ball hole and could muster 15 runs off just 15 balls. But with a six off Harshit Rana, the 16th ball he faced, he unshackled himself and launched an onslaught the audience would recall for a long time. Off the next 33 balls, he shellacked 66 runs. He admitted that he did panic. “It (14 off 14) was an absolute panic situation for me. I was just trying to get a read on the wicket. It’s a small ground with a fast outfield so there’s always time to catch up,” he explained to the host broadcasters during the innings breaks. Aiden Markram’s blitz (47 off 28) from the other end afforded him some wriggle room. Often the South African walked down and told him not to worry about the scoring rate. “I have formed a beautiful relationship with him. Played a lot against him for South Africa, …

Mukherjee has reportedly said that the pitch at Eden Gardens won’t change as long as he’s in charge. This has …

IPL 2024, LSG vs KKR: Kolkata’s versatile batting rolls on, Yash Thakur’s gentle change of pace and Jonty Rhodes has reasons to smile | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Versatility and depth of KKR batting The dimensions of the square boundaries in Lucknow today are 68 meters and 61 meters. Whenever there are skewed dimensions in square boundaries it is a common tactic used by the teams to bowl one side of the wicket and make the batter hit to the longer side. However, it is not possible to restrict this Kolkata side with that kind of strategy because the batting line-up is constructed in such a way that the team can have a left-hand right-hand combination through the 20 overs (4 left-handers and 4-right-handers in the top 8) which can counter not only the irregularity in dimensions but also all the spin match-ups oppositions throw at them. In addition to the versatility, the reason KKR batting can afford to go all guns blazing right from the word go is because of the depth of batting they possess. Including Mitchell Starc they have nine batters who can play blazing cameos at any point of the innings which is not a luxury some of the …

LSG vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2024: Rinku Singh in focus as Lucknow take on Kolkata | Cricket News

Published by Webster

T20 World Cup: Rinku Singh the fall guy as India fall back on experienced stars Rinku, who has not faced a lot of deliveries with KKR this IPL, has been pushed down to the reserves for the World Cup. Rinku Singh was probably the best batsman in a scenario that India might find themselves in the World Cup: 40 runs from the last two overs. With his balance at crease, no visible flaws against pace or spin, and with his temperament and past-experience in such situations where he can tee-off on arrival, he would have been ideal, but that boat has sailed now.
