Bengaluru: Netizens started slamming after Harshal Patel’s missed the Mankad chance during an IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants. LSG needed 1 with just 1 wicket in hand on the final ball. Harshal tried to run out Ravi Bishnoi at the non-striker’s end but fumbled.
Lucknow Super Giants were 37/3 at the end of power-play, with Royal Challengers Bangalore on top of them in a run chase of 213 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium but Marcus Stoinis brought Lucknow back with his impressive 30-ball 65 while Nicholas Pooran smashed a sensational 19-ball 62 to take the team to a last-ball thrilling one-wicket victory.
Mohammed Siraj gave Bangalore an ideal start as Kyle Mayers chopped on to his stumps. Wayne Parnell dealt double blows to Lucknow in the fourth over, having Deepak Hooda nick behind a cutter to Dinesh Karthik and then forcing Krunal Pandya to edge off an outswinger to the keeper.
After ending the power-play at 37/3, Stoinis began his onslaught in the eighth over by flicking off the pads for six off Harshal Patel, then slashed through point and smacked a straight drive down the ground for back-to-back fours.
Twitterati started reacting after Lucknow Super Giants beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL match:

He was within the crease but harsal was waiting for him to go out rather than doing bowling , mankad is right when actually the batter is way away that baller do have time to do that but he was unsuccessful because he was waiting not bowling pic.twitter.com/SNMJosSTHL
