Lucknow Super Giants(LSG) suffered their third defeat in IPL 2022 on Tuesday (19th April). Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a huge total of 182 which LSG felt short for a bare minimum of 18 runs. Marcus Stoinis’ dismissal in the final over of LSG’s innings was one of the game’s turning points.
The Australian all-rounder was having a good game in the middle and had played some amazing shots all over the field. As it looked a bit scary for RCB, Josh Hazlewood, a fellow countrymen dismissed Stoinis for a 15 ball 24.
Stoinis was looking grisly as he walked out of the field disappointed. It must be noted that before wobbling Stoinis’ stumps, Hazlewood got away with a wide call a delivery.
The Australian pacer bowled a wide delivery way outside the tramline to which the umpire, surprisingly didn’t favour an extra run to LSG as Stoinis was within the reach of the ball. The delivery was called as a dot. Stoinis smiled at the umpire, as he was quite disappointed. However, his anger came out as soon as he lost his wicket and was heard yelling ‘F**k You’ at Umpire.

Marcus Stoinis’ wicket was the turning point in the match
As the required run rate was spiking, Stoinis tried and shuffled across the off stump to play a shot on the very next delivery to Hazlewood. However, he completely missed and the ball deflected upon the pads and rattled the stumps. The Aussie dasher couldn’t keep his cool on this occasion, and his rage was visible.
He screamed in anguish as soon as he got out, and he appeared to be about to throw his bat in rage. Fortunately, this did not occur. Following that, RCB cruised to a 163/8 victory over the KL Rahul-led side With this win, RCB climbed up the points table and are sitting at the second position.
On the other side, Faf du Plessis, RCB skipper was the wand of victory as he scored a 64 ball 96. With the ball, Hazlewood was the standout performer, as he snagged a four-fer.
