Finial Crucial Moments in the Game
Nicholas Pooran played one of the best innings as he did not give up even for a single minute. Even though wickets were falling at one end it was Nicholas Pooran who was calm and composed and made sure that the game was dragged until the very end. Pooran finished his innings on 64* of 41 balls.
It was a tough ask for Pooran in the end as the Rajasthan Royals bowlers did not give any room to hit boundaries at the depth of the innings. This was a wonderful game of cricket played by both teams and we are sure that Lucknow will bounce back from this loss and Rajasthan will look to build from here.
