The match number 29 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 was played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans in Lucknow where the Gujarat Titans walked out as victorious in a dramatic last over finish.
Batting first after winning the toss, Gujarat Titans posted 135 runs on the board thanks to a brilliant 66 runs inning by captain Hardik Pandya.
Chasing the target, Lucknow Super Giants scored 128 runs in 20 overs. For them, KL Rahul was the star with the bat as the LSG skipper scored 68 runs in 61 balls.
While Rahul did well with the bat, the Twitterati stilled mocked the opening batsman for playing a maiden over in the first over of their inning. This is 2 matches in a row that KL Rahul played the opening over a maiden over. See how Twitterati reacted.
