The new entrants, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are locking horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the eliminator of the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. A hilarious incident took place in the second innings when Deepak Hooda smashed a six and the ball hurt the policeman.

Earlier, LSG skipper, KL Rahul decided to bowl first. While RCB made one change as Mohammed Siraj replaced Siddharth Kaul, LSG made a couple of changes as K Gowtham and Jason Holder made way for Krunal Pandya and Dushmantha Chameera, Rajat Patidar was in sublime touch as he remained unbeaten on 112 off 54 balls to help RCB pile up 207/4.

Both the batters tried to increase the momentum of the match and Hooda was the one to take initiative in the 8th over, bowled by Shahbaz Ahmed, when smashed a huge six that sailed into the stands. A policeman stationed in the crowd tried to catch the ball, as he was flying past over his head in reverse cup style.
