Commentary

En हि

That's it from us in terms of coverage of the Indian Premier League for today. We'll be back again tomorrow evening as the Delhi Capitals host the Kolkata Knight Riders - both teams coming into the clash on the back of big wins. Join us right here on Sportskeeda for our coverage of it, and a lot more! This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of Shashwat Kumar. Good night - see you tomorrow!

Two successive losses at home for RCB - they've had their fair share of problems with the middle-order, and the alarm bells must have set off after tonight's game. Once their top-order - Kohli in particular - was back in the shed, RCB were always going to be up against it, and a stormy Mayank Yadav spell blew them away. They'll be hitting the road now - RCB head to the west of India to take on Rajasthan Royals on Saturday next.

The Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, are picking up quite a bit of momentum going forward. KL Rahul returned as captain and keeper, de Kock found some runs, and while the runs stemmed in between, Pooran applied the finishing touches. Mayank Yadav's introduction to the IPL has made their bowling attack look 10 times better - opposition batting line-ups can't catch a break even after getting off to fliers in the powerplay! While they have issues to address, things are looking good for the Sanjiv Goenka-owned franchise as they head back home - their next game being against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday.

Mayank Yadav has been adjudged Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: Feels really good to have won back-to-back Player Of Matches, but it feels better to win the game. My aim is to serve the country for as long as I can. Feel this is the start, long way to go. Cameron Green's wicket was my favourite from today. To bowl at this speed, one needs a lot of things - diet, sleep, training, have to be perfect in a lot of aspects if you're bowling quick. I'm focusing more on my diet and recovery, taking ice baths and all. That's helping me a lot currently.

KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants captain: Overall, a really good performance. Was very obvious that it was a tricky wicket, slightly on a sticky side, helpful for the seam bowlers. Having said that, we got off to a really good start, by the time the opposition found which the good lengths were, we had gotten away with the game. That was what helped us at the back-end though they bowled really well at the back-end. The chat was very simple, there's a bit of help off the wicket, try and use it, not go for the yorkers. Playing in Chinnaswamy, the pressure can come onto you really quickly, important to stay calm and trust the wicket to help. (On keeping to Mayank Yadav) One ball hit me really hard, but so happy to see Mayank bowling so well over the last couple of games. He's quietly waited in the dugout over the last two seasons, missed the last season due to injury. Really good to see professionals looking after his body. Enjoying seeing him bowl from 20 yards behind the stumps, that's where I'd like to be when he's bowling. Every time I come to the ground and we have our meetings, the coach and analysts ask me what I want to do in the toss, we're tempted to say we bowl first because it's the trend in T20 cricket. Our record speaks differently. The good thing I'm doing is losing tosses, we're batting first, if the results go sideways, no one's going to blame me for taking a wrong decision at the toss. How I see our performances - if we get bowled out, or if the opposition blasts us out of the game, there's something to go back and think about. We don't really stress too much about it. The first game was one such game where we tried too hard, but they bowled better than us. I think we've bounced back really well, this is generally how we play our cricket and will continue to do so. We've gone spin in this game, there's an obvious match-up against RCB, we tried it and it worked. We'll simply try and find ways to get those wickets in the powerplay and see how we can improve.

Quinton de Kock: It is always nice to go out and score runs for your team, especially batting first here, because it is difficult. You never know what is a good score. When I walked off, I was worried 180 was not enough but in the end, it was. (On the pitch) I think it was holding and bouncing. The nature of where the game was, I could not play as freely as I wanted, had to take control of the innings and bat longer. We lost wickets at bad times, hence had to bat longer. (On Mayank Yadav) Glad to have him in our team. He is bowling rockets at the moment, bowling really well. He is keeping things simple. Lot of times, guys with pace can get caught up with things. (On Pooran and his batting at the end) That is why he gets paid the big bucks (laughs). When I am playing at the Chinnaswamy or anywhere in the world, your job is to assess the conditions. It (the conditions) is never quite the same, and that (assessing the conditions) is the job we have to do as openers.

Faf du Plessis, Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain: (On the drops)Two very good players (QDK and Pooran that we dropped), probably about 60-65 extra runs (we gave away). Mistakes like that could really cost you in a tournament like the IPL. (On Mayank Yadav) When you are young and are coming through, it is about a new action that you have not faced. It takes batters a few times just to see how the ball is coming out of the hand. Really impressive to see his pace but also his ability to control and bowl with some good discipline. Speed, coupled with good accuracy. (On the score) It was a little above what we would have wanted to chase. I think we were not great with the ball. We gave away easy boundaries in the powerplay, giving away boundaries where the batters were strong. There were pleasing signs towards the back end to bring it back to that score. (On the chase faltering) You need partnerships, as basic as that. We never got that. Disappointing to not do it with the bat. Need a few strong characters to put their hands up and get us back on track.

Match summary:

Lucknow Super Giants win by 28 runs

Quinton de Kock 81(56) | Mayank Yadav 3/14 (4)
Mahipal Lomror 33(13) | Glenn Maxwell 2/23 (4)

RCB's middle-order woes were laid bare by the Lucknow Super Giants bowling attack tonight. Then again, there might not be too many teams who possess a middle-order capable of scoring quick against a maverick of Mayank Yadav's kind - the Royal Challengers Bengaluru line-up seemed to wilt like a plant starved of water on an immensely hot day! Mayank Yadav sure did bring the heat along, completely stemming the flow of runs in those middle overs.

KL Rahul's decision to bowl left-arm spin from either end against RCB's opening duo of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis seemed sensible, particularly with the kind of start Manimaran Siddharth had, but once there was width on offer, the runs began to flow along. The opening duo got RCB to a total of 40 within the fifth over before Siddharth struck gold - he enticed Kohli into a false shot with a loopy delivery that broke away from a length.

Then began the Mayank Yadav show. Faf du Plessis, having been rushed by a rapid, full delivery, was keen on scurrying to the non-striker's end having hit it straight to Padikkal at mid wicket, but ended up paying a hefty price. Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green, two prolific strikers of the cricket ball against pace, seemed sitting ducks against Mayank Yadav as the rookie speedster from Delhi rushed both of them for sheer pace - he got Maxwell to mistime one towards Padikkal, and cleaned Green up with a peach in his second over.

Scoring runs seemed a task in itself in those middle overs as Rawat and Patidar struggled to find a way out. While Patidar got going briefly, Rawat didn't - Stoinis bowled one over and accounted for the RCB wicket-keeper. Patidar turned out to be Mayank Yadav's third scalp of the night - the Indori middle-order batter perished trying to take a short ball on, and was held by Padikkal at deep square.

Mahipal Lomror, sent in as an impact sub, looked to keep the game alive with a belated assault, but the fall of wickets at the other end did not help his and RCB's case one bit. Once Lomror picked out Pooran at long off and departed for a 13-ball 33, the game was up, and LSG succeeded in bowling RCB out with two balls to spare - a first in this year's IPL. Presentations to follow...

Pooran rolled over for a third time for the cameras - he had all the more reason, that was a sensational catch to end the match!

19.4 Naveen-ul-Haq to Mohammed Siraj, WHAT A CATCH TO FINISH THINGS! Slower ball on a full length on middle and off. Siraj backs away and swings for the hills. Cloths it off the bottom part of the bat and it arrows towards long on. Pooran eats up ground to his left, and then flies, snaffling up a very sharp chance while almost being horizontal to the ground! LSG win by 28 runs, and RCB slip to their second consecutive defeat at home!

Mohammed Siraj c Nicholas Pooran b Naveen-ul-Haq 12 (8b, 0x4, 2x6)

19.3 Naveen-ul-Haq to Mohammed Siraj, sharp back of a length delivery that pitches on off and nips back in with the angle. Siraj is cramped for room and does not lay bat on ball

19.2 Naveen-ul-Haq to Mohammed Siraj, off-pace, hung up on a hard length outside off. Siraj has a massive swing at it but makes no contact

19.1 Naveen-ul-Haq to Reece Topley, hard length on off. Topley backs away and taps it towards extra cover to bring Siraj back on strike

Naveen-ul-Haq (3-0-24-1) will bowl the final over of the match

Ah yes. Two clean hits - that'll make Siraj feel really good! The referral turned out to be a grand success! 30 needed off the last over...

18.6 Ravi Bishnoi to Mohammed Siraj, SIRAJ GOES BACK TO BACK! Slightly shorter but still within Siraj's arc. He opens up his stance and demolishes this over the bowler's head!

18.5 Ravi Bishnoi to Mohammed Siraj, CLEAN STRIKE! Floated up into the slot outside off. Siraj swings through the line and crunches it over long off!

While Bishnoi mostly bowls googlies, Siraj had no idea about this one. He plays down the wrong line, seems to have been caught in front... isn't. Siraj will get to bat a few more deliveries!

18.4 Ravi Bishnoi to Mohammed Siraj, LOUD SHOUT AND THE FINGER GOES UP! Beautifully-disguised googly that pitches on a length just outside off. Rips back sharply and Siraj has no clue about it. Gets pinned on the front pad and the umpire raises his finger. Siraj has reviewed it, although it looks like more in hope. Clear gap between bat and ball. Ball Tracking comes up now...and it shows the ball would have gone over the stumps. Siraj stays!
