But we are so grateful for every blue flag at Uppal and every social media post or comment in support of us despite this defeat. This team has shown resilience over the last two years, and we’ll show it again Thank you for staying with us, LSG Brigade”, it said.

We are all hurt by this game.

But we are so grateful for every blue flag in Uppal and every social media post or comment in support of us despite this defeat.

LSG’s IPL 2024 playoffs dreams suffered a huge blow after the heavy defeat against SRH. On the other hand, SRH is in third with 14 points and the big victory significantly improved their Net Run Rate (NRR).

LSG captain KL Rahul was left “speechless” after the defeat.

“I’m speechless. We watch this kind of batting on TV. But this is unreal batting. Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat. Congratulations on their skills. They worked hard on their six batting skills. They don’t give us the chance to know what the field played in the second round.”

“It was difficult to stop them when they took the first shot. When you are on the losing side, there are question marks on the decisions you make. We were 40-50 runs short. When we lost wickets in the powerplay, we didn’t get any.” momentum Ayush and Nicky batted well to take us to 166. But even if we had got 240, they could have chased too,” said Rahul after the match.
