PBKS vs LSG IPL 2023: Lucknow Super Giants made an impressive start at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadiums, racing to a score of 74/2 during the powerplay. Leading the charge was Kyle Mayers, who played a crucial role with a rapid 24-ball 54. Mayers displayed his batting prowess by smashing eight boundaries and four sixes, putting immense pressure on the struggling bowling attack. One of the standout moments of his innings occurred early on when Mayers punished Gurnoor Singh, a debutant pacer for the Punjab Kings, by hitting an audacious shot over midwicket after Singh had overstepped the bowling line.
Kyle Mayers sends the ball high
After an exceptional first over, which conceded only two runs and included a dropped catch of KL Rahul on the very first ball, the 22-year-old Singh was entrusted with the Kookaburra once again for the third over. However, his fortunes took a turn for the worse. Rahul eagerly smacked him for a boundary, and then Singh committed a grave error by overstepping the crease with his front foot while delivering the third ball. This resulted in a free hit, and Gurnoor bowled the ball perfectly within Mayers’ hitting zone on the leg side.
Mayers adjusted his stance, swung his bat forcefully, and the ball connected perfectly with the middle of his willow. The ball soared high into the night sky, reaching an altitude of over 50 meters, before landing in the sixth row of the stands. This remarkable shot earned his team six runs. The cameras captured the entire Lucknow Super Giants dugout, gazing upwards to witness the soaring ball, while some individuals couldn’t help but cover their mouths in disbelief at the astonishing sight.
