KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants only managed to score 36 runs after Andre Russell bagged the jackpot wicket of Nicholas Pooran during Lucknow Super Giants’ unsuccessful run chase of the gigantic target set by Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday. Mentoring the Knight Riders in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League, former India opener Gautam Gambhir expressed overwhelming happiness after Russell outsmarted the West Indies power-hitter in the 11th over.
Ending his association with LSG to link up with KKR as the franchise mentor for IPL 2023, Gambhir was seen sending out a tactical message to Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer after the crucial wicket. Gambhir summoned one of the reserve players of the Knight Riders to relay his message to Iyer. Dismissed for 10 off 8 balls, Pooran’s exit triggered the downfall of the Lucknow Super Giants. Gambhir’s masterstroke against his former franchise has garnered the attention of netizens on social media.
