IPL 2022 | Lucknow Supergiants unveil their jersey and official anthem

One of the two newly-formed Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises, Lucknow Supergiants have finally revealed their outfit ahead of the 15th season of the cash-rich league.


The KL Rahul-led side will be seen wearing turquoise blue-green-coloured outfits in the forthcoming season.


The Supergiants social media handles posted snapshots of the new kit besides also launching the official anthem #AbApniBaariHai featuring rapper Badshah.


"The moment you’ve been waiting for! Poori taiyaari hai… Ab Apni Baari Hai!!! 🏏 🙌🏽 #AbApniBaariHai


The Sanjeev Goenka-led franchise have also revealed a star-studded line-up as far as the backroom staff is concerned.


While former Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower and two-time IPL-winner Gautam Gambhir will serve as head coach and team mentor respectively, they will be aided by assistant coach Vijay Dahiya, bowling coach Andy Bichel. 


Former Zimbabwe cricketer Richard Halsall will take over as fielding coach.


Meanwhile, the franchise has roped in Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani as a net bowler for the 15th season. This is in stark contrast to media reports that the tall pacer has been picked as a replacement for injured Mark Wood


"Zimbabwean will be joining the team only as a net bowler” a report in CricBuzz confirmed even as we wait for an official word from the franchise.


Reportedly, Australian seamer Andrew Tye is in line to replace the English paceman.


Muzarabani did not attract any takers in the mega-auction despite him setting his base price at Rs 50 Lakh.


Lucknow will make their IPL debut against fellow debutante Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 28.


Lucknow Supergiants squad for IPL 2022:


KL Rahul (c), Quinton De Kock (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Hooda, Manish Pandey, Ankit Rajput, Krishnappa Gowtham, Dushmantha Chameera, Shahbaz Nadeem, Manan Vohra, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, Karan Sharma, Evin Lewis, Mayank Yadav, Kyle Mayers, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Avesh Khan.

PAK vs AUS | 3rd Test | Naseem Shah’s reserve swing headlines Day 2 as game still hangs in balance

Things were following their usual path in the third Test match of the series between Pakistan and Australia as Cameron Green and Alex Carey went on to hit individual 50s early Tuesday, 22 March. The pitch has turned out to be a notorious point of contention this series, with bowlers having little to no assistance from the deck for large parts of the Test matches. However, when things looked bleak for Pakistan on Tuesday, Naseem Shah used every bit of his Pakistani charm to find the slightest bit of reverse swing on the deck, to plough through the Australia lower middle order helping Pakistan make an unlikely comeback in the first innings. Naseem’s spell came at a time when Green and Carey were finding middle of the bat with most of their attacking shots, leaving senior pros like Hasan Ali clueless as to what should be done. Naseem first got Green with a stunning ball, pitched at a teasing length, that tailed at the very last minute, leaving Green look like an amatuer. He bowled the Australian through his defence and affected the downfall of the Australian order. Shah alongside another Shah in Shaheen found the energy and the spirit to ping in two thundering yorkers bowling out Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson respectively to cap the Australian innings at 391 runs, something that at a point of time looked like could go on to 500-550 by the end of the day. Both pacers took four each while the spinners Nuaman Ali and Sajid Khan took one each - prized wickets of Alex Carey and Usman Khawaja respectively. Three batsmen this innings were denied centuries, with all of them playing tremendous innings of their own. Alex Carey seems to have found form after falling into the hotel pool in Karachi hitting one 90s and one 60s already. Alongside Carey, Cameron Green was also left stranded at 79 against a brilliant delivery after batting valiantly for 163 balls. Coming into bowl, Australia were able to manage the lone wicket of Imam-ul-Haq, who was caught plumb in front by Pat Cummins, who has made it a habit to produce moments of magic in dead pitches. At the end of day’s play, Pakistan’s cautious approach bore them 90 runs after 39 overs at the loss of just one wicket. Opener Abdullah Shafique (45 off 117) was in the crease alongside Azhar Ali (30 off 79). The moving day of the Test match can prove to be crucial for the result of this game. If Pakistan do not choose to push for a result, they could end up batting slowly for long sessions and kill the game. But if Australia can manage to find reverse like they did in the first innings of the second Test match, things could get very interesting in the final Test of a dry series.
