Today’s IPL match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) was exciting despite MI setting a modest target for LSG. While LSG pursued the target, the chase was not without its challenges. Apart from the runs scored, LSG also suffered the setback of losing a few wickets during the innings. Despite the hurdles, LSG managed to pull through and secure victory, showing their resilience and determination in the game.
Ayush Badoni’s Runout Scenario:
During the chase, Ayush Badoni was bowled out in the first ball of the 19th over. At first it seemed that the decision had not yet been made, but after review by the third referee, the verdict was against Badoni. LSG captain KL Rahul, coach Justin Langer and the team expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision and stressed that they did not agree with the result. The controversial call added to the tension and drama of the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians in the IPL.
In the 19th over, Hardik Pandya bowled a delivery that was short and wide outside the off-stump. Ayush Badoni, wanting to play aggressively, threw his hands on the ball and managed to push it towards a deep cover point. Despite his efforts, Badoni managed two runs but struggled to reach the crease. Ishan Kishan, playing at cover, missed hitting the stumps in his first attempt but successfully cleared the pads in his second attempt. Badoni’s bat was floating in the air as he dived and the third umpire ruled it out after noting that the bat was not on the ground behind the crease. The decision caused displeasure among Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) players who did not agree with the outcome of the run-out dismissal.
Ayush Badoni was eliminated after scoring 6 runs in 6 balls with one boundary in his short innings during the IPL 2024 match. The LSG team was visibly unhappy with the decision, which reflected the intensity and emotion of the competition.
