The 11th game of the IPL 2024 saw the match with the most ebbs and flows in this season. Both teams had complete control of the game at different stages but let it slip from there, though in the end, LSG held their nerves and managed to sneak out a win from the jaws of the defeat. 


The match started with LSG winning the toss and Quinton de Kock playing a superb knock to set up the innings for them. Nicholas Pooran and Krunal Pandya further consolidated De Kock's efforts, playing crucial cameos towards the end and helping the team's total to a formidable 199. 

The chase started with a blaze for PBKS. Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow launched a quickfire 100-run partnership, putting the visitors in the driver's seat. When it looked like PBKS would cruise to victory, they were struck by a thunder named Mayank Yadav. The young pacer unleashed carnage and picked up three wickets for 27 runs in his four overs, thus derailing the PBKS chase. The visitors failed to recover from the collapse and, in the end, fell short of the target by 22 runs. 


Why the Mayank Yadav show was so important for LSG?

  • When Mayank Yadav started his second over, PBKS needed 99 runs in nine overs with ten wickets in hand. It was for the PBKS to lose the game at this stage, with the firepower in the batting still up in their arsenal. 
  • Mayank was not fazed by the opposition's big names. He believed in his skills and did what he was accustomed to.
