In the sixth IPL 2025 match, skipper Rishabh Pant of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made a wise decision by pushing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to bat first. Despite their reputation for dramatic openings, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head did not perform any fireworks at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
SRH was only able to score 190 runs in the first innings, unlike earlier days. By breaking through SRH’s citadel, LSG batters ensured they won the game. The LSG team, captained by Rishabh Pant, won by five wickets. On the final ball of the 13th over, Harshal Patel of SRH dismissed Ayush Badoni with a brilliant catch at the deep mid-wicket region.
The batter accurately judged Adam Zampa’s googly bowl. The ball ultimately received the elevation but not the distance since he was unable to make a good contact with it with the bat. Harshal sprinted over to the ball and caught it without flinching.

The wicket came against the run of play, as LSG were already on course to seal the victory. However, this is the second consecutive failed innings for Badoni in the tournament. The Delhi-born would hope to come good in the upcoming outing, nonetheless.
