LSG’s last-ball win
One of the most memorable encounters in IPL 2023 was when Rinku Sharma delivered a stunning performance that left spectators in awe. Although his efforts couldn’t lead KKR to victory, his fierce display of form and consistency was something to behold.
In a match against LSG, Rinku Singh came agonizingly close to securing victory for his team, falling just one run short of the target. It was a heartbreaking moment for fans.
Markram’s Superman catch in the 25th match against IPL 2023
In the IPL tournament of 2023, there have been some genuinely unforgettable encounters, and Markram’s Superman catch in the 25th match against IPL 2023 is one of them.
After Ishan Kishan’s catch in the same over, Surya Kumar Yadav was batting well, seven runs off two balls and had the potential to take the game away from the opposition, but Markram had other ideas. He leapt into the air with lightning-fast reflexes and plucked the ball out of the sky, sending Surya Kumar Yadav back to the pavilion.
King Kohli and Gambhir
One of the most fierce encounters in the IPL tournament 2023 was the intense encounter between King Kohli and Gambhir in the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs LSG clash.
Virat and Gambhir didn’t shake hands, and Gambhir even prevented his teammates from approaching Kohli. The incident sparked a heated moment and left fans wondering what could have caused such animosity between the two players.
