But, to get the things in order, Jake and Rishabh Pant brought up 35-ball 55 and 24-ball 41 respectively, laying the foundation for a team's much-needed win. As for LSG, it was a horrendous start for them after Kuldeep Yadav, recently returned to action, sent Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran in back-to-back dismissals.
