WATCH | Sanjiv Goenka gets teary-eyed after LSG’s 1st victory:Virat Kohli’s ‘no-look’ six; Nitish Reddy’s ‘Pushpa’ celebration

The first Super Sunday of IPL 2026 witnessed a power-packed performance both with the willow and ball. The first game saw the bowling brilliance of Lucknow’s all-Indian bowling lineup that rattled the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s explosive batting lineup. Then Rishabh Pant’s mature knock with the willow led LSG to win by 5 wickets against SRH. Similarly, in the second game, the bat dominated as Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted the highest total (250) of IPL 2026 against Chennai Super Kings. The Yellow Army bowlers suffered the carnage of Tim David’s blistering 70 and Rajat Patidar’s quick 48. Both of these games were full of interesting moments that caught the attention of the fans. However, the one that caught the spotlight was Sanjiv Goenka’s reaction after Lucknow bagged its first win of the IPL 2026 campaign. Meanwhile, moments like Kohli’s ‘no-look’ six in the second game, Nitish Reddy’s ‘Pushpa’ celebration, followed by Nicholas Pooran’s ‘bizarre stumping’ also left the netizens buzzing. LSG vs SRH and RCB vs CSK Top Moments 1. Sanjiv Goenka gets teary-eyed after Lucknow’s victory After Lucknow Super Giants registered a victory by 5 wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the latter’s home, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka got teary-eyed. The moment skipper Rishabh Pant slammed the four to seal Lucknow’s win, the ground camera pointed toward Goenka, whose eyes were filled with tears while witnessing the moment. 2. Nitish Kumar Reddy’s ‘Pushpa’ celebration after 30-ball fifty vs LSG When SRH were in a spot of bother with 35/4 after 10 overs, Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen stitched a century partnership. Reddy also smashed a 30-ball fifty, after which he celebrated with his iconic ‘Pushpa’ movie gesture. 3. Nicholas Pooran’s ‘bizarre’ stumping by Ishan Kishan Nicholas Pooran went for a sweep toward fine leg on the last ball of the 13th over. However, he could not spot the ball after it hit the inner edge of the bat and went for a run. What he did not notice was that ball did not travel and popped into wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan’s hands and got stumped eventually in a ‘bizarre’ manner. 4. Goenka touched God’s picture to his forehead after Ishan was bowled Lucknow fast bowler Prince Yadav bowled Sunrisers captain Ishan Kishan in the third over. Ishan went for a drive on a full-length inswinger, but the ball went through the gap between bat and pad and directly hit the off-stump. Ishan was out after scoring just 1 run. As soon as his wicket fell, Lucknow owner Sanjiv Goenka, sitting in the stands, touched a picture of Tirupati Balaji to his forehead. 5. Pant took two one-handed catches Lucknow benefited from Rishabh Pant’s excellent wicketkeeping at a crucial moment. In the 8th over, Liam Livingstone got a top-edge off Digvesh Rathi’s ball, and the ball went high in the air behind him. Pant quickly dived to his right and pulled off a ‘superhuman’ one-handed catch. After this, in the death overs, Pant also took Heinrich Klaasen’s catch off Avesh Khan’s ball. Klaasen tried to play a reverse shot, but the ball went too fine. Pant again dived to his right and executed a brilliant one-handed catch. RCB vs CSK, IPL 2026, Match 11, Top Moments 1. Virat Kohli smashes ‘no-look’ six to Matt Henry While batting first against CSK in the second IPL match of the Super Sunday, Virat Kohli slammed a ‘no-look’ six to Matt Henry in the fourth over of the 1st innings. The hit took place on 2nd delivery of the fourth over. 2. Tim David bowled on no-ball, smacked six on the next ball During the 1st innings of the RCB vs CSK match, Tim David was cleaned up by Anshul Kamboj on the fifth delivery of the 18th over. However, Kamboj bowled a no-ball, so David received a free hit and smacked him for six on the next legal ball. Thereafter, Tim went on to score 30 runs single-handedly in the 19th over. 3. Shivam Dube drops Kohli’s catch In the third over, Shivam Dube dropped Virat Kohli’s catch. Kohli played a shot straight off Khaleel Ahmed’s full delivery. Shivam Dube ran backwards at mid-on, but couldn’t hold onto the catch. However, later on, Kohli got out after scoring 28 runs off 18 balls. Interestingly, Shivam Dube himself caught him off Anshul Kamboj’s ball. 4. Tim David’s 106 metre six lands out of the park Tim David hit 8 sixes in the death overs yesterday. In the 16th over, he hit 3 consecutive sixes against Noor Ahmed. After that, in the 17th over, despite being bowled on Anshul Kamboj’s no-ball, he took advantage of the free hit and hit a six. In the 18th over, David again adopted an aggressive approach against Jamie Overton and completed his fifty with the help of 4 sixes. One of his sixes reached Cubbon Park, outside the stadium. This six was 106 metres long. With Tim David’s fifty, RCB scored 97 runs in the last 5 overs. Tim David scored 70 runs off 25 balls. 5. Sarfaraz goes for run on the crease without bat A strange sight was seen in the sixth over. Sarfaraz Khan, in an attempt to play a shot off Abhinandan Singh’s ball outside off-stump, dropped his bat. The bat fell near short mid-wicket, while Sarfaraz ran for a run. Before this, he also got a lifeline from a dropped catch, which he utilised to complete his fifty in just 24 balls. However, his aggressive innings did not last long, and Krunal Pandya stumped him out in the 6.1 over. Sarfaraz returned to the pavilion after scoring 50 runs. 6. Jitesh took a one-handed catch In the 10th over, wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma took a brilliant catch. Shivam Dube tried to play a shot on Abhinandan Singh’s back-of-a-length delivery outside off-stump, but it took an inside edge. The ball went down quickly, where Jitesh, leaning to his right, took an excellent one-handed catch. With his brilliant effort, Dube was out for 18 runs.
