Naveen-ul-Haq Slams LSG Batting Unit: Lucknow Super Giants bowler Naveen-ul-Haq said that the team had planned against Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Sunil Narine, but nothing worked on the pitch.
Lucknow bowlers were brutally slammed by Narine (81 off 39 balls) to give KKR a huge score of 235 runs. The end product was LSG losing for 98 runs.

In the post-match presser, Naveen revealed the play that they had against the KKR batter.
“We planned against Narine. We wanted to mix it up with bouncers and yorkers, but nothing worked against him. It was quite a brilliant inning, to be honest. He was properly middling it. He has been doing it from the start of the season,” Naveen said.
Naveen slammed LSG batters for not utilizing the batting advantage the pitch was providing.
“The amount of games that we have played in Lucknow, I think this was the best wicket to bat on. We did not do the things in the chase that we did—say, in the game at Chepauk, where the target was very high. It was not like bad or anything, there was nothing for the bowlers,” Naveen continued.
The player admits that failures are usual in sports, but the important part is to not focus on them and move on.
“Pressure is always there on whatever score you are chasing. Every team has a bad day, and we cannot keep focusing on that; we have to move on,” he concluded.
LSG will now test their tusks with SRH in Hyderabad on May 8. KKR, on the other hand, will welcome MI to Eden Gardens on May 11.
