“Ab Lucknowi Andaaz Mein!” – LSG Fans Celebrate After a Crazy Win Over Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025

Nicholas Pooran Power hitting Helps LSG Beat KKR in a High-Scoring Thriller at Eden Gardens. Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and chose to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants. But things didn’t go KKR’s way at all. Lucknow’s batters came out with intent and smashed the bowlers all around Eden Gardens on Tuesday. Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh gave LSG a solid start at the top.

But it was Nicholas Pooran who completely stole the show. He played a breathtaking knock 87 not out from just 36 balls. Pooran hit the ball clean and hard, making life tough for the bowlers. Lucknow ended with a huge total of 238.KKR’s bowlers had a tough day. Varun Chakaravarthy was the most economical but couldn’t take a wicket. Harshit Rana and Andre Russell got one each, but they were expensive.

In reply, KKR started well with Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine going after the bowlers. But Akash Deep got De Kock LBW, and Digvesh Rathi removed Narine soon after. Still, KKR didn’t back down. Venkatesh Iyer and skipper Rahane played brilliant shots and kept the chase alive. Just when KKR looked dangerous, LSG bounced back with quick wickets in the middle overs. Rahane, Iyer, Ramandeep, and Raghuvanshi were all dismissed quickly.

Russell and Rinku Singh tried to fight back in the end, but the target was just too big. Rinku did his best, hitting some big shots at the end, but Lucknow held their nerve. Credit to Rishabh Pant for smart captaincy he slowed down the game, made clever bowling changes, and trusted his bowlers at the right time. In the end, it was LSG who came out on top in a thrilling contest full of runs and drama in the 21st match of IPL 2025.

I don't think people remember what terrorism KL used to do in LSG, He used to eat balls which is bigger terrorism than getting out in single digits. I remember in 2022 against KKR where Qdk scored 140(70) , KL scored 68(51)😭 and LSG won by just 2 runs😭 https://t.co/X1xufXrvKK

The most punchable face right now.

When the team is cruising with a CRR of 13+, he comes and attempts several reverse sweeps to a struggling Bishnoi.

Just 4 runs of it, and LSG came right back into it.

Scoring in one game doesn't give you the license of losing one.#KKRvsLSG pic.twitter.com/hF77HNfU7Y
