In a spectacular display of flair and timing, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant delivered a breathtaking no-look six off Kagiso Rabada during the final over of their innings against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The moment unfolded in the 20th over when Rabada, aiming to contain the scoring, bowled a full-length delivery outside leg stump. Anticipating the line, Pant stepped across his stumps and, with a swift flick, sent the ball soaring over the deep fine leg boundary. Remarkably, he executed the shot without even looking at the ball's trajectory, leaving spectators and commentators in awe.
This audacious shot was part of Pant's quickfire unbeaten 16 off just six deliveries, featuring two towering sixes. His late-innings surge contributed to LSG's formidable total of 235/2, bolstered by Mitchell Marsh's maiden IPL century and Nicholas Pooran's explosive half-century.
Pant's no-look six not only showcased his innate talent but also served as a statement of intent, especially after facing criticism for inconsistent performances earlier in the season. As LSG concluded their IPL 2025 campaign, moments like these offered fans a glimpse of the captain's match-winning capabilities and set a positive tone for future seasons.
Gujarat Titans will be taking on Lucknow Super Giants at Narendra Modi Stadium
The Gujarat Titans will take on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 64th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 22, 2025, at the 7:30 PM IST. This match promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with different fortunes in the tournament.
Gujarat Titans are in excellent form, with nine wins this season, the most by any team. They recently stunned Delhi Capitals by chasing down a target of 200 runs without losing a single wicket, marking their third consecutive victory. Sai Sudharsan is in top form, topping the Orange Cap chart with 617 runs in 12 games. Shubman Gill is another reliable batter, and his performance will be crucial in this match.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, are on a four-match losing streak and are lacking consistency. They have struggled to find their footing in the tournament, and their recent performances have been disappointing. Despite this, they have the firepower to upset the hosts, and their explosive batting can't be underestimated.
