The former skipper of the England Cricket team Michael Vaughan went to social networks to make fun of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a jibe of “strategic waiting time”. During the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, LSG only needed 2 points to win the last 4 Overs. However, at this stage, a strategic waiting period has been taken – a break that the striker and the bowlingal team can take during a round. Vaughan found the scenario hilarious and offered a position full of mind. “It is only in IPL that you can have a strategic time with 2 necessary for 24 balls with 5 remaining weeks,” he posted on X.

Coming to the match, SRH was brought to the stick first by LSG, who had chosen to play first. Shardul restricted the LSG at 15/2, but a partnership of 61 points between Travis Head (47 in 28 balls, with five four and one six) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (32 in 28 balls, with two four) stabilized the sleeves a little.
The Cames came from Heinrich Klaanse (26 in 17 balls, with two four and one six), Aniket Varma (36 in 13 balls, with five six) and the skipper Pat Cummins (18 in four balls, with three six), which pushed SRH to 190/9 in their 20 Overs.
Shardul (4/34) was the best bowling player for LSG, while Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi and Ravi Bishnoi each obtaining a counter.
During the race race, LSG lost Aiden Markram early, but a stand of 116 points between Nicholas Poornan (70 on 26 balls, with six four and six) and Mitchell Marsh (52 in 31 balls, with seven four and two) and a beautiful cameo at the end of Abdul Samad (22 * in balls with two and two) left. Pat (2/29) was the best bowler for SRH.
Shardul was named “match player” for his fiery fate.
