Pant was dismissed for a duck after being caught early, and the batting collapse that followed left LSG playing catch-up throughout.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>LSG chased a target of 159 against Rajasthan Royals.<\/li>\n<li>Rishabh Pant was out for a three-ball duck, dismissed in the second over.<\/li>\n<li>Nandre Burger removed Pant with a length delivery at 142.7 kph.<\/li>\n<li>Ayush Badoni was run out for 0 on the final ball of the first over.<\/li>\n<li>Rajasthan finished on 159 for 6.<\/li>\n<li>Mohammed Shami took 2 for 30, while Mohsin Khan took 2 for 17.<\/li>\n<li>Prince Yadav also contributed with two wickets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pant\u2019s dismissal arrived in the second over when Nandre Burger struck with a ball that held just outside the off-stump channel at 142.7 kph. On earlier deliveries, Pant had stayed more grounded, moving down the track with less intent. This time, he went looking for a big heave, dropping to one knee and slashing hard across the line.<\/p>\n<p>The shot didn\u2019t carry\u2014he only managed a faint edge behind. Dhruv Jurel was in position to complete the catch, and the early wicket underlined the mounting pressure LSG were already absorbing after the start of the innings.<\/p>\n<p>The chase suffered another jolt almost immediately. On the last delivery of the first over, Ayush Badoni was run out for a duck during a botched attempt to steal a single. The mix-up with Mitchell Marsh ended badly, with substitute fielder Ravi Singh breaking the deadlock by hitting the stumps directly at the keeper\u2019s end, leaving Badoni well short.<\/p>\n<h3>Rajasthan keep it tight, LSG fold early<\/h3>\n<p>With only 159 to chase, LSG still couldn\u2019t settle. They lost two key batters inside the first two overs without adding runs, a rapid collapse that shifted the entire match script and tightened the margin for error for the middle order.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Rajasthan\u2019s total of 159 for 6 had been built under strong control from LSG\u2019s bowling. The franchise\u2019s all-Indian pace and spin options set a disciplined tone, limiting boundaries and forcing wickets at crucial moments.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed Shami spearheaded the effort with figures of 2 for 30. He struck in succession, first removing Yashasvi Jaiswal and then getting Dhruv Jurel in the very next spell. Mohsin Khan followed up impressively too, taking 2 for 17 and delivering the key breakthrough of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Yadav added to the damage as LSG\u2019s bowlers kept pressing with accurate lines and a high number of dot balls. Even with the early wickets and building pressure, Rajasthan were able to reach a fighting total\u2014but it was never quite enough to let LSG chase with comfort.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, despite a strong bowling showing from LSG, the chase again became defined by Pant\u2019s recurring problem at the top. The early dismissals turned the pursuit into a difficult assignment, and with LSG now needing results to arrest a losing streak, this failure only adds weight to the need for a quick turnaround.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rishabh Pant\u2019s struggles in a chase continued as Lucknow Super Giants, captained by him, fell short against Rajasthan Royals.
