Rajasthan Royals (RR) fast bowler Trent Boult has taken his team off the dream start in the ongoing game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The fourth match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is taking place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Trent Boult is breathing fire with the ball in the ongoing game against Lucknow Super Giants. After Rajasthan Royals put a total of 193 runs on the board, the fast bowler made sure that he jolted the opposition with the early blow in their chase.
Of all the balls that he has been bowled in the game, Trent Boult’s delivery to remove Devdutt Padikkal caught the attention of many. The left-arm pacer produced a peach of a delivery to send the lanky batter packing. He produced a magical ball on the 2nd ball of the third over.
However, this was the result of the previous ball as Trent Boult put doubts in the mind of Devdutt Padikkal. He bowled a lethal short delivery that the batter missed and the ball hit flush on the grille. He then changed his helmet as well and on the next delivery castled him.
Trent Boult bowled a length delivery that skidded on and Devdutt Padikkal didn’t move his feet and wanted to pull it. He missed the ball and got bowled. The batter was stuck on the back foot and paid the price.

Devdutt Padikkal couldn’t make an impact on his debut innings for the Lucknow Super Giants. The left-hander looked clueless and would now be hoping to play big innings in the upcoming games. He didn’t have an ideal start to the IPL 2024.
Trent Boult on the other has been nothing short of exceptional. Ahead of removing Devdutt Padikkal, the left-arm pacer jolted Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with the wicket of Quinton de Kock. He drew the first blood for his team in the first over of the chase.
Trent Boult bowled a decent delivery on the pads. Quinton de Kock whipped it and found the hands of the man at long leg. It was an unfortunate dismissal for the batter. The Proteas batter managed 4 runs off just 5 balls.
After Trent Boult, Nandre Burger adds himself to the wickets tally
After Trent Boult removed the two early wickets, Namdre Burger made sure that he added his name to the wickets tally. The fast bowler removed Ayush Badono to get his first scalp in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. This is also his maiden stint in the league.
Nandre Burger bowled a 147.2 clicks delivery to which Ayush Badoni looked to drive it on the up. The bat’s face got turned a little on impact and he spooned an easy catch to the man at mid-off. The young batter scored just 1 runs off 5 balls. Rajasthan Royals have been putting a lot of pressure on the opposition. The onus now lies on skipper KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis to take their team home.
