Shot of the Day – Nicholas Pooran launches Reece Topley out of Chinnaswamy – RCB vs LSG IPL 2024

Against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had a strong performance at the bat in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024), posting a huge score of 181/5 after batting first. Quinton de Kock, a wicketkeeper and batsman, led his team in scoring with a fantastic knock of 81 (56), which included five sixes and eight fours.

Nicholas Pooran provided him with great support as he smashed an undefeated forty-one plus off just twenty-one balls. Three of those sixes came against Reece Topley in the 19th over. His third maximum, which went a massive 106 metres, attracted notice, though. The event occurred on the fourth ball of the 19th over when the West Indies batsman hit a short delivery from Topley onto the roof of Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
