Chennai : While the Lucknow team lost in the match against the Delhi team, former cricketer Akash Chopra criticized the Lucknow team’s batting as the reason for the defeat.
Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Supergiants clashed in an IPL match held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 14. Lucknow won the toss and elected to bowl first. Batting first, the Delhi team scored 208 runs for the loss of 4 wickets at the end of 20 overs.
Next, Lucknow Supergiants entered the field with the target of winning if they score 209 runs. The Lucknow team, who had been stumbling from the start, scored only 189 runs for the loss of 9 wickets at the end of 20 overs. With this Delhi Capitals won by 19 runs.
In this situation, the former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra has criticized the Lucknow team’s defeat in the match by publishing a video on his YouTube channel page. Talking about this, he said, “I don’t really understand how Lucknow batted against the Delhi team. I ask what are you batting?
Opener Quinton de Kock scored no runs, K.L. Rahul was dismissed for 5 runs. After that, (Marcus) Stoinis came in and he was caught in the middle. Deepak Hooda is out for a wicket. Is it good to keep losing wickets like this? How do you show such bad batting? As long as Nicholas Pooran was around, the rivalry was alive and well.
It was because of his aggressive play that you went this far and failed. However, the target you have to hit is not very big, so if you play without giving up wickets, you can hit this target easily. Akash Chopra said that the Lucknow team lost because of bad batting.
