Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are currently in the second spot in the points table of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) by winning three out of five matches they have played so far. And on Wednesday, April 19, they will clash against the table-toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Meanwhile, ahead of the clash, LSG players Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, and Nicholas Pooran went out to eat Dal baati. The local boy Bishnoi took Pooran to have the cultural Indian dish and in the video, it is clearly visible that Pooran enjoyed a lot eating it. The video was shared by Nicholas Pooran and it instantly got viral on social media.
Talking about LSG, they played their last match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and lost the match by 2 wickets. Asked to bat first, LSG were only able to score 159 runs in the first innings. Skipper Kl Rahul played a brilliant knock of 74 runs off 56 balls which included 8 fours and 1 six but his strike rate was pretty low. However, no other batters provided anything to the scoreboard due to which they were able to set a small target for PBKS.
Chasing the target, the Kings had a horrible start as they lost their first two wickets on the score of just 17 runs. But a fifty from Sikandar Raza turned it on for them at the right time and then Shahrukh Khan, stepped up in the death overs to get them over the line. There was heavy dew on the outfield and that made LSG's job quite hard as well. However, their approach was also not up to the mark as with bat they didn't score much and with ball, they didn't aim to take wickets
LSG will definitely look to make a comeback against RR but it is not going to be easy as the Sanju Samson-led team has lost only 1 game in the tournament so far and they will also have an advantage of playing on their home ground in Jaipur.
