Quinton de Kock of Lucknow Super Giant has been running since the beginning of this season of Indian Premier League (IPL). Another hard hitter Nicholas Puran joined hands with him today. With the storm of these two batters, Lucknow Super Giant scored 181 runs by losing 5 wickets in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Lucknow’s two openers, Lokesh Rahul and Cock, started to make a storm from the start of the match by going to bat first in the Bangalore field. Together, the team crossed the fifty mark in 5 overs. This pair broke when Rahul was dismissed for 20 runs off 14 balls. Then the angel Padikal went back very quickly.
Marcus Stoinis paired with De Kock. The duo once again attacked the Bangalore bowlers. Nicholas Puran came to the crease when Stoinis departed after playing a stormy innings of 24 runs off 15 balls. Now De Kock’s storm continues with Puran. The two started to advance the wheels of the run together.
When the team runs close to 150 runs, Cock returns to the dressing room. He played a stormy innings of 81 runs off 56 balls before leaving. His innings had 8 fours and 5 sixes. Puran went on a rampage at the end as De Kock went through the middle.
The Windies batter was in a cold mood at the start. His velki started towards the end. The game of boundaries continued one after the other. In the end Puran remained unbeaten with 40 runs off 21 balls. His innings had 5 sixes and 1 four. And that’s why Lucknow scored close to two hundred.
