KKR vs LSG Live Score IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants 96/4; Stoinis, Rahul depart in quick succession against Kolkata

Narine into his third over. Badoni starts off with a single at long-on. Pooran cuts this away to deep point for a single and opens his account off his fourth ball. 

SIX! Badoni drops on one knee and sweeps this slot delivery by Chakravarthy for a maximum over deep midwicket. Full toss is driven to long-on for a single. 

OUT! Stoinis is gone and Salt has taken a stunner. Googly, Stoinis got an inside edge into his pads and the ball ballooned for Salt to pouch it diving to his right. 

Nicholas Pooran is in next. Gets an outside edge trying to heave across the line on leg-side. It goes to short third on the bounce. 

Marcus Stoinis c Phil Salt b Varun Chakravarthy 10 (5b 2x4)

Andre Russell into the attack. SIX! Shortish outside off and Rahul cuts this over point for a maximum. OUT! Rahul has pulled this straight to the deep midwicket fielder. Now it’s full and Stoinis clips it off his pads for a couple at deep midwicket. 

FOUR! Marcus Stoinis starts off with a boundary. Too short and pulled away to the square-leg boundary. Too short again and Stoinis lets it go. FOUR! More short-pitched bowling and Stoinis had pulled this in front of square for another boundary. 

KL Rahul c Ramandeep Singh b Andre Russell 39 (27b 3x4 2x6)

Chakravarthy into the attack. FOUR! Badoni turns this outside leg-stump delivery behind towards short fine and that runs away to the boundary. Four singles after that boudary and a stifled lbw appeal off the last ball of the over. 

Narine again. Cut away too close to the body and no run for Rahul. Punched off the backfoot through midwicket for a single. Turned away to deep square by Badoni for one more. Rahul misses a sweep and Narine appeals hopefully for leg-before. Not given and not reviewed. Sweep again next ball and he connects this time but only for a single. Strategic Timeout and LSG will hope for a momentum shift after this. 

Rana continues. Starts with a bouncer and Badoni is too early into the pull and misses. Slower one on a full length on middle and off and clipped through the leg-side by Badoni for a single. One more for Rahul after driving this past the bowler. Another slower one to Badoni and he flicks it for a single at deep midwicket. Pace off again and Rahul waits before carving this behind point for a couple. Another slower delivery and clipped to deep midwicket by Badoni for one more. 

Narine into the attack. Badoni pushes this to long-on for a single. Two more singles to follow that first delivery. This turns in and Rahul defends this awkwardly with an inside edge. Punched to long-on for a single by Rahul next ball. Going down leg-side and turned away by Badoni for a single at short fine-leg. 

Harshit Rana to bowl the last over of the PP. Angling into the batter, some nip back into him and Rahul gets an inside edge onto his thigh pad and takes a single. FOUR! Crisply driven by Badoni for a boundary as he takes a step forward and leans into the shot. Back of a length next ball, and defended to mid-on by Badoni. Back of a length again outside off, and Badoni guides this straight to the backward point fielder. 

Rana now with a slower one and Badoni taps this on the off-side for a single. FOUR! Short, and Rahul is equal to the task and he hops onto his toes and cuts this to beat the backward point fielder. 

Starc will bowl his third. Back of a length on middle and tucked to square-leg by Rahul for a dot ball. FOUR! Rahul sends that crashing over cover for a boundary as Starc offers some room outside off. This is pushed to deep point for a single. 

OUT! What a stunning catch by Ramandeep Singh at point. Room outside off and Hooda decided to drive on the up and Ramandeep takes a stunner at backward point. 

Ayush Badoni has been promoted to No. 4 and is greeted with a bouncer by Starc. Two dot balls to end the over. 

Deepak Hooda c Ramandeep Singh b Mitchell Starc 8 (10b 1x4)

Arora will continue. Clipped off the pads by Hooda for a single at deep midwicket. Fullish around off and defended to cover by Rahul. He picks a single next ball at deep square-leg. FOUR! Bouncer, and Hooda puts it away behind the keeper for a boundary even as his bottom hand comes off the bat grip. Pushed back to the bowler to end the over. 

Starc continues. Beaten! Hooda is beaten as the ball angles across him from a good length. Beaten! Hooda pokes outside off and misses the ball again as Starc continues to angle it across him. Bouncer and Hooda looks away and plays this behind to short-third for a single. This is going down leg-side and called wide. On a good length now on middle stump and dabbed behind point by Rahul for one more. Full and driven down the ground by Hooda for another single. FOUR! Short and Rahul rocks back and pulls this away to the square-leg boundary to end the over. 

Here comes Vaibhav Arora from the other end. Outside off and called wide. Shreyas Iyer has reviewed the decision. The third umpire rules the ball is on the guideline outside off and asks the on-field umpire to stick with his decision. On a good length next up on middle stump and defended by Rahul to cover. The buzzer goes off and that is a front-foot no-ball. Two extras in the first two balls. Free-hit coming up. Nails a good yorker outside off and Rahul fails to dig it out. SIX! Fullish just outside off and Rahul lifts this over cover and the ball just sails over the rope. Angling in on the pads on a full length and Rahul pushes this to mid-off and hares for a quick one. 

De Kock gets an outside edge as the is angled across him from a leg-stump line. OUT! De Kock gets another outside edge driving away from the body and this time the ball goes straight to the short third-man fielder. 

Quinton de Kock c Sunil Narine b Vaibhav Arora 10 (8b 2x4)

Here comes Deepak Hooda and he is greeted with a bouncer. The batter gloves it on the leg-side for a single.

LSG head coach Justin Langer rings the iconic bell at the Eden Gardens to kick start the proceedings. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock walk out to the middle to get the match underway with the bat. The under-fire Mitchell Starc has the new ball. Over the wicket to De Kock. 

FOUR! Gently pushed down the ground by De Kock and that’s a first-ball boundary for LSG. FOUR! Consecutive boundaries. Thick outside edge and the lightning fast outfield ensures the ball races away to third-man fence. Full on middle and off and defended by De Kock to mid-off. This is driven back to the bowler by De Kock for two dot balls in a row. Beaten! This moves away late and misses De Kock’s outside edge by a whisker. A couple to end the over as De Kock guides this to third man with an open bat face.
