Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer has hogged all the headlines after bowling a 155.8 kmph delivery in the 12th over of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) innings at the Ekana Sports City in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Saturday.

PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan tried hard to slash the ball towards the boundary line. However, the opener, renowned for his remarkable pedigree in international cricket, was beaten by sheer pace with Nicholas Pooran collecting the ball behind the stumps.

LSG produced an impressive effort whilst setting the target for the visting team. They scored 199 runs at the loss of eight wikcets in 20 overs.

Quinton de Kock top-scored 54 runs with the help of five boundaries and a couple of maximums, and he found good support from Pooran and Krunal Pandya, who chipped in with 42 and 43 runs respecitvely.
