IPL 2025 ke ek zabardast thriller mein Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ne Rajasthan Royals (RR) ko sirf 2 runs se hara diya, thanks to Avesh Khan’s ice-cold last over. Jaipur ke Sawai Man Singh Stadium mein khela gaya ye match, fans ke liye ek emotional rollercoaster tha.
Avesh Khan ne last over mein kewal 6 runs diye jab RR ko chahiye the 9, aur isi ke saath LSG ne match palat diya. Rajasthan ki taraf se Yashasvi Jaiswal ne half-century maari aur debutant Vaibhav Suryavanshi ne bhi apne first match mein hi impact dikhaya. Dono openers ne RR ko 85/0 tak pahucha diya tha sirf 8.4 overs mein — lekin match phir bhi haath se nikal gaya.
Riyan Parag, jo iss match mein RR ke stand-in captain the, match ke baad kaafi emotional dikhai diye. Unhone openly blame liya team ki haar ka, aur bataya ki unhe ab tak samajh nahi aa raha ki galti kaha hui.
“Feeling a little hard to process the emotions, not sure what we did wrong. We were in the game till the 18-19th over. I probably should have finished it in the 19th over, I blame myself. We just have to put one game together collectively for 40 overs, only then can we win. We did really well (with the ball), the last over was unfortunate, thought that we would stop them for 165-170. Sandy (Sandeep Sharma) bhai is trusted, he’s only had one bad game. Samad batted really well. We should’ve chased that down. Today was perfect, no complaints about the wicket. We were right in it, just a few balls can cost you an IPL game,”
– Riyan Parag, post-match presentation
Ab Rajasthan Royals ka agla mukabla Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ke saath hoga April 24 ko, M Chinnaswamy Stadium mein. Wahin Lucknow Super Giants ka samna hoga Delhi Capitals (DC) se April 22 ko, Ekana Stadium mein.
RR ke liye ye defeat sirf ek haar nahi thi, balki ek reality check bhi thi — IPL mein thoda sa slip-up bhi match chhink sakta hai.
