Skipper ishan kishan

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Skipper Ishan Kishan credited the fighting partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy for giving Sunrisers Hyderabad a chance in the match, saying he was pleased with the team’s resilience despite their narrow defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in a last-over thriller in the Indian Premier League clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Chasing 157, Lucknow held their nerve to seal a five-wicket win with one ball to spare, but Hyderabad had forced the contest deep into the final over after recovering from an early batting collapse and putting up a spirited fight with the ball.

Reflecting on the narrow defeat, Kishan lauded his bowlers and fielders for pushing the game to the final over despite defending a modest total.
