Lucknow: Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 59, including four consecutive sixes off Ravi Bishnoi, powered Sunrisers Hyderabad past Lucknow Super Giants, eliminating Rishabh Pant’s side from the IPL. Digvesh Rathi took key wickets but couldn’t turn the tide.
Earlier, half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram helped LSG post a competitive total of 205/7. A rapid start by their openers set the tone, but SRH pulled things back in the middle overs. A late flourish, including a six from tailender Akash Deep, pushed them past the 200-mark.
LSG skipper Rishabh Pant acknowledged the team’s struggle to cover injury-related gaps. “We had planned our auction differently. With our full bowling unit, things could have turned out otherwise,” he said. Pant also praised young Rathi, calling him “one of the positives” of the season.
SRH captain Pat Cummins lauded his side’s confidence during the chase. “We backed ourselves even chasing 205. Players like Klaasen and Kamindu made it look effortless,” he said, highlighting the composure shown by his side.
Player of the Match Abhishek Sharma underlined the importance of attacking in a high chase. “When chasing 200+, you have to go hard from the start. Atharva and I just decided to assess the first ball and then play freely,” he said. “Responsibility comes with the role, and I wanted to express myself for the team’s success.”

Guardians No. 1 overall draft pick Travis Bazzana expected to miss at least eight weeks with oblique strain
Imagn Images Infielder Travis Bazzana, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft, will miss 8-10 weeks with an internal oblique strain on the right side, the Cleveland Guardians announced Tuesday. Bazzana felt discomfort after taking a swing on May 14, and tests revealed the strain. He will head to the team's spring training complex in Arizona to rehab. Bazzana, 22, was drafted out of Oregon State, and he was performing well but not exactly dominating Double-A before this injury: .252/.362/.433 with four homers and eight steals in 33 games. He'd struck out in 26.2% of his plate appearances, which is certainly not an alarming rate these days, but a little higher than you'd like for a top college hitter and No. 1 overall pick. Our R.J. Anderson ranked Bazzana the 12th-best prospect in baseball entering 2025. Here's his […]
