<p><strong>SRH Full Players</strong> <strong>List in IPL 2022:</strong> Sunrisers Hyderabad has been in the limelight ever since it took the harsh step to sack David Warner from the captaincy without any proper reasoning.

Apparently, David Warner was the one who took SRH to its first-ever IPL title in 2016 and he has been a phenomenal cricketer for them.&nbsp;</p>

<p><span>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter Abdul Samad played a decent cameo for his team in the ongoing game against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The 13th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is taking place at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. </span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Abdul Samad, who has looked in magnificent touch in IPL 2025, played a brilliant innings for his team against Punjab Kings. He walked out to bat at seven and played a brutal cameo to take his team to a total of over 170, which at one stage looked impossible.</span></p>
<p><span>Abdul Samad hit Punjab Kings bowlers all over the park and the highlight of his innings was an outrageous scoop shot that he hit against Arshdeep Singh. This made me stand and applaud him for his heroics. </span></p>
<p><span>On the 4th ball of the 18th over, Arshdeep Singh bowled a low full toss outside off, to which Abdul Samad came up with the unique shot. The batter managed to scoop it over the keeper as the ball raced away for four.</span><span>Even before that ball, Abdul Samad came had hit Arshdeep Singh for a six. He also hit another four in the same over:</span></p>

<p><span>https://x.com/IPL/status/1907094025842147517</span></p>
<p><span>However, Arshdeep Singh had a last laugh as he removed Abdul Samad in the last over. The Lucknow Super Giants batter ended with an innings of 27 runs off 12 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 225 and also hit 2 fours and 2 sixes in his innings.</span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh, who returned with the figures of 3/43, talked about the wicket at Ekana Stadium, saying that the surface was providing help to seam bowlers. He also expressed his confidence in batters to chase the target. He said:</span></p>
<p><span>“I mean that was pretty average on a wicket which was providing help to seam bowlers. In the powerplay, it was stopping a bit and movement was also there, we could have hit the lengths more. </span><span></span></p>
<p><span>The batters don’t trust their defence much, they swing hard so I had two slips and a deep cover, just in case he swings and gets an edge, so I was attacking with two slips. I feel it’s a good total, we have to bat well to chase it down.”</span></p>

<p><strong>Updated IPL Points Table 2025: </strong>Super Saturday delivered double the entertainment and double the drama as the IPL 2025 race to the playoffs tightened further! Gujarat Titans ascended to the top of the table with a thumping win over Delhi Capitals, while Lucknow Super Giants sneaked into the Top 4 after a thrilling 2-run victory over Rajasthan Royals. Both matches were full of power-packed performances, emerging stars, and edge-of-the-seat thrillers.</p>
<p>In the first clash of the day at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat Titans showcased nerves of steel as they chased down a mammoth 204-run target set by Delhi Capitals. After winning the toss, GT opted to bowl, but DC’s aggressive batting took them past the 200-run mark, thanks to Ashutosh Sharma’s late onslaught and Prasidh Krishna’s four-wicket burst in a tense innings. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_6803afe120b51.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>GT’s chase stumbled early with the fall of Shubman Gill, but Jos Buttler turned on the heat with a match-winning knock and some incredible strokeplay, including five consecutive boundaries off Starc. Rahul Tewatia finished things in style with a six and a four, taking GT home with four balls to spare and sealing a memorable seven-wicket victory.</p>
<p>The second encounter at Sawai Mansingh Stadium was nothing short of a cricketing blockbuster. Lucknow Super Giants, led by Rishabh Pant, posted a competitive 180 runs on the board, thanks to a fiery finish from Abdul Samad and a steady middle-order partnership between Ayush Badoni and Aiden Markram. </p>
<p>But the moment of the match came from 14-year-old debutant Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who smashed a six off the very first ball he faced in IPL history. Despite his quickfire 34 and Jaiswal’s brilliant 74-run knock, the Rajasthan Royals fell short by just 2 runs. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_6803e7c4b7ca6.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Avesh Khan’s clutch bowling at the death and Prince Yadav’s disciplined spell helped LSG clinch a last-over thriller and earn two crucial points.</p>
<p>With these results, the points table has taken a dramatic turn. Gujarat Titans have leapfrogged to the top with 10 points and an impressive NRR of +0.984. Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings also sit at 10 points but trail on net run rate. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have surged into the Top 4 with 10 points, pushing RCB to fifth. Rajasthan Royals, despite a strong start to the tournament, now suffer their fourth consecutive defeat and slide to 8th place.</p>

<p><strong>PBKS vs LSG 2025: </strong>On a night painted with drama, aggression, and redemption, Punjab Kings lit up the stadium with a performance for the ages. It was a match that pulsed with energy from the very first over, a clash that swung from chaos to control as PBKS turned a high-pressure showdown into a statement of dominance.</p>
<p>The atmosphere crackled with anticipation, but it was Punjab who roared the loudest, delivering a performance that shook Lucknow Super Giants to their core and propelled them to second on the points table.</p>
<h2><strong>PBKS vs LSG 2025 Match Summary</strong></h2>
<p>Asked to bat first, PBKS lost Priyansh early, but that only opened the gates for carnage. In walked Josh Inglis with ice in his veins and fire in his bat. Three towering sixes in a single over from Mayank sent a wave of momentum crashing into the PBKS dugout. Though Inglis’s stay was short, it was explosive enough to flip the script.</p>
<p>From there, the baton passed smoothly—Shreyas timed the ball like a dream, while Prabhsimran, after being dropped by Pooran on 21, went into overdrive and made LSG pay dearly for their mistake. That drop didn’t just cost runs; it cost them control.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6817a8cc6de25.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Shreyas’s rare fall to spin barely slowed the assault as Shashank, Wadhera, and even Stoinis brought the finishing fireworks, pushing PBKS to a jaw-dropping 236. It wasn’t just a total, it was a challenge, a warning, and a mountain all rolled into one. LSG’s fielding collapse only widened the gap, as the missed chances turned into haunting echoes under the floodlights.</p>
<p>With a mammoth chase ahead, LSG needed magic, but instead, they met a storm named Arshdeep. In a spell that cut like a blade, he removed the top three batters with surgical precision, leaving Lucknow stunned and gasping for answers. Their star men, Rishabh Pant and David Miller, were expected to turn the tide, but they sank without a trace, silenced under pressure yet again.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6817a8c873998.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>The chase, now a formality, found a flicker of fight in Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad. Together, they stitched a brave 81-run stand, playing as if the scoreboard didn’t matter, fighting for pride in a battle already lost. Badoni’s knock was a beacon in LSG’s dark night, a reminder of his rising stature in a faltering lineup. But PBKS were relentless, tightening the noose, never letting the game slip even for a moment.</p>
<p>The heroes were many, but the night belonged to a select few. Prabhsimran turned a dropped catch into destruction. Arshdeep turned a new ball into a wrecking ball. Inglis played a cameo that punched through the silence like thunder.</p>
<p>Shashank and Wadhera gave the finishing touch like artists completing a masterpiece. And through it all, PBKS never blinked. They came to conquer, and they did so with flair, fire, and fearlessness.</p>
