IPL: Pant’s misery deepens as LSG suffer shocking 40-run defeat to RR

 Lucknow Super Giants suffered a shocking 40-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals after collapsing to 119 while chasing 160. Despite a strong bowling effort led by Mohammed Shami, LSG failed to handle pressure with poor shot selection. Mitchell Marsh’s 55 went in vain as wickets fell rapidly, triggered by Rishabh Pant’s dismissal. Rajasthan’s Ravindra Jadeja (43*) and Jofra Archer (3/20) played key roles in a clinical all-round win. Lucknow Super Giants suffered a shocking 40-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals after collapsing to 119 while chasing 160.
