Despite winning the toss, Lucknow Super Giants faced early setbacks, losing Quinton de Kock and Devdutt Padikkal within the powerplay.
However, Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan rescued them, leading to a total of 167/7 in 20 overs. In response, the visitors lost an early wicket, with an injured Warner attempting a flashy stroke.
Struggling with a knuckle injury, Yash Thakur delivered a length ball outside off stump in the fourth over.
Warner, trying to shuffle across and ramp it over short fine leg, missed, resulting in the ball hitting his thigh pad and deflecting onto the leg stump, leading to his dismissal. The unusual nature of his dismissal left the Twitterverse sympathizing with Warner.
