IPL 2026: 'We’ve Been Below Par With The Bat,' Says Pooran After LSG Loss Against RCB
PCA New International Stadium: Stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran admitted that Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) continued struggles with the bat proved costly in their five-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.
“We’ve been below par with the bat. 175 would’ve been competitive. But it’s no secret we have been struggling with the bat the entire season, and today we paid the price,” Pooran said after the match.
Asked to bat first, LSG once again failed to gain early momentum, managing just 146 in their allotted 20 overs. Mitchell Marsh top-scored with 40, while Ayush Badoni (38) and Mukul Choudhary (39) tried to steady the innings in the middle overs. However, regular wickets prevented them from building any substantial partnerships.
