IPL 2025: Avesh Khan Picks 3-37 As LSG Pull Off A Heist, Defeat RR By Two Runs (ld)
Lucknow Super Giants: Pacer Avesh Khan picked 3-37, including defending nine runs off the final over, as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defended 180 with aplomb and beat Rajasthan Royals by two runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. At 156/2 in 17 overs, RR were very much in the hunt to complete the chase, as the equation read 25 runs off 18 balls. But Avesh, with his pinpoint yorkers, removed set batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag for 74 and 39 respectively.
He then took out Shimron Hetmyer in the final over, while giving away only six runs, to keep RR to 178/5 and complete a memorable come-from-behind win for LSG, leaving everyone in the stadium stunned.
For RR, it was despair yet again as twice in a row, they had failed to close out straightforward chases. The defeat in Jaipur also meant that Sandeep Sharma leaking 27 runs in the final over, including giving away four sixes to Abdul Samad, did come back to pinch them hard, as RR slumped to their fourth consecutive defeat.
