Lucknow Super Giants assistant coach Lance Klusener tried his best to motivate his players for the recently concluded game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
It was a crucial game for Lucknow Super Giants after their heavy loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous outing. The KL Rahul-led side ended up losing the game by 98 runs in their own backyard. After Kolkata Knight Riders piled up a huge total of 235 runs, LSG were bowled out for just 137 runs.
The defeat not only dropped them out of the top four in the points table but also ruined their net run rate. And to make sure that the players give their best against SRH, Lance Klusener decided to motivate them with an animated speech just before the start of the game.
The former South Africa allrounder stood in the middle of the team huddle and was seen giving a speech to the players in an animated fashion. The LSG players were clearly taken aback by Lance Klusener's speech and Marcus Stoinis could not hold his laughter. Lance Klusener was then seen slapping the Australian in a playful manner before continuing his speech.

Lance Klusener's speech, however, did not make much of a difference as SRH thrashed the Lucknow-based outfit by 10 wickets to move to the third spot in the points table. Batting first, LSG were reeling at 66 for 4 in the 12th over before Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran rescued them.
The duo shared an unbeaten 99-run stand to power their team to a competitive total. Badoni scored 55 while Pooran remained unbeaten on 48. In reply, SRH chased down the total inside 10 overs thanks to blazing half-centuries from their openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. Head scored 89 runs off just 30 balls while Sharma was unbeaten on 75 off 28 balls.
