It was finally Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) day on Saturday, as their pacer Avesh Khan pulled off the act against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 36th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, what truly stole the spotlight was the wild celebration by LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka in the dugout. A clip of his jubilant reaction is now making waves across social media.

On the other hand, the head coach of RR, Rahul Dravid, sat helplessly after the team suffered their sixth defeat in the ongoing IPL 2025 series. While Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his third consecutive fifty, the 14-year-old debutant Vaibhav Suryavanshi melted hearts with his remarkable performance.

While Rajasthan Royals appeared to be in control of their 181-run chase, they just needed 25 runs from the final three overs. However, Avesh Khan had other plans, and he managed to bring LSG back into the game by removing both Jaiswal and Riyan Parag in the 18th over.

In the thrilling clash between the duo, Shimron Hetmyer held RR's hopes alive with a couple of boundaries in the 19th over off Prince Yadav, but Avesh seemed unstoppable, and he held his nerves and produced a yorker masterclass as the Royals capitulated once again.

Now the match came to that point where Hetmyer, on the third ball, suffered a nasty blow on his hand, but still LSG managed to win by 2 runs.
