In Mohali, the Lucknow Super Giants achieved their largest victory of the season, overpowering the hosts Punjab Kings by a staggering 56 runs. The match was a spectacle, featuring a flurry of boundaries, speedy yorkers, and plenty of off-field hilarity, turning the night into a celebration for the visitors.
The match witnessed an impressive 22 sixes, but the most notable highlight was the rare lighthearted moment provided by Gautam Gambhir, the team’s mentor, in the dugout.
In the match’s closing stages, Yash Thakur was bowling to Jitesh Sharma, who had already hit three sixes in nine balls, with Punjab needing 66 runs from 14 balls. Sharma went for a high full-toss, but failed to get a decent connection and was caught at mid-off.
As the match was slipping out of Punjab’s grasp, the Lucknow fans erupted in celebrations, and the team management joined in on the fun. The big screens showed a member of the team’s management unit performing the classic rolling arms dance move to express their elation at the team’s performance.
The highlight of the night was when Gautam Gambhir noticed the clip on the screens and decided to parody the celebration with a hilarious imitation, much to the delight of the fans and the Twitterati.
