The fiery clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025 took an ugly turn when Nicholas Pooran lost his temper after a crushing defeat. SRH outclassed LSG in a must-win match, leaving Pooran visibly frustrated as he threw his pad in anger, targeting a teammate.
Asked to bat first, LSG posted a competitive 205/7, thanks to fiery half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh (68 off 35) and Aiden Markram (54 off 28).
