Srinagar: Lucknow Super Giants Gautam Gambhir was all pumped up after a thrilling one wicket win over RCB on Monday.Marcus Stoinis’ aggressive fifty, followed by a blitzkrieg half-century from Nicholas Pooran put LSG right on track for the big win. Eventually, in last over when one was required off two, Chinnaswamy was left in pin drop silence before they went berserk as Harshal dismissed LSG batter Jaydev Unadkat. RCB still had hope of taking the match to Super Over. The fielders were drawn closer to deny that single. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis had one last long chat with the bowler wile LSG batter Ravi Bishnoi, who was at the non-striker’s end, had taken off his helmet.
Batter Avesh Khan swung his bat against the low full-toss delivery, and failed to connect. But he immediately took off for a single, and so did Bishnoi. However, for RCB, wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who had taken his right glove off, fumbled at the worst moment, allowing LSG to complete the single and seal that one-wicket win.
Soon after the match Twitter abuzz was the crazy celebration of Gambhir, who was seen hurling a mouthful before giving high-five to his LSG mates.
After the highly-animated celebrations, Gambhir made his way into the centre as players from both sides lined up to shake hands. When Gambhir came face-to-face with RCB legend Virat Kohli, the duo exchanged a quick glance and completed an intense hand shake as Gambhir continued to look pumped up.
