It Was A Very Convincing And Clinical Win For LSG: Uthappa

Speaking exclusively on JioHotstar, Robin Uthappa said that the Lucknow-based franchise had clinched a ‘convincing and clinical’ triumph over the Sunrisers. The former cricketer also called the Rishabh Pant-led side's approach ‘phenomenal’. He added that all the bowlers had displayed an exceptional performance. Uthappa also hailed the batter's role in the game.

"I thought it was a very convincing and clinical win. The way they approached the chase was phenomenal. They stuck to their game plan, and of course, the presence of dew made the outfield even quicker as the game progressed. Full credit to them. The bowlers—Shardul Thakur, Prince Yadav—all bowled exceptionally well. And then, the batters came in and did their job brilliantly," Uthappa told JioHotstar.
