In the 48th match of IPL 2024, Lucknow Super Giants once again entered the top-4 by defeating Mumbai Indians by 4 wickets. In this match, Mumbai bowlers took the match till the last over but due to lack of runs on the scoreboard, Lucknow reached the victory. Nehal Vadhera alone was seen fighting from Mumbai side. He scored 46 runs in 41 balls with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes before getting out.
During this time, Vadhera also took Lucknow's speedster Mayank Yadav on remand. When Mayank came to start his spell, his very first bouncer ball hit Vadhera's helmet and initially Vadhera was seen struggling in front of Mayank, but once he set his eyes on the pitch, he did not spare Mayank and his only ball. He stunned the Lucknow team by hitting two sixes and a four in the over.
This incident occurred during the 15th over of MI's innings. Mayank's first ball of this over was a back of length delivery, which Vadhera blasted on the leg side for a six. After this, Mayank bowled three consecutive dot balls, but the Mumbai batsman again sent the fifth ball of the over into the stands. Vadhera looted a total of 16 runs by hitting a four on the last ball of the over. The fans of Lucknow were shocked to see Mayank beaten like this.
