Pandey managed just 11 runs during LSG’s innings in last night’s IPL 2022 encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The 32-year-old has aggregated a meager 22 runs in his three innings of the tournament thus far.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra reflected on the Lucknow Super Giants batting effort. He said the following about Pandey:

The cricketer-turned-commentator added that Pandey’s place in the Lucknow Super Giants XI will become vulnerable once Marcus Stoinis is available for selection. Chopra observed:

Stoinis is part of the Australian limited-overs squad for the ongoing series against Pakistan. With the only T20I, the last match of the series, scheduled for Tuesday, the all-rounder should join the LSG camp over the next couple of days.

“He was exceptional” - Aakash Chopra lauds Deepak Hooda’s knock for Lucknow Super Giants

Aakash Chopra was full of praise for Deepak Hooda’s enterprising knock against SRH. He elaborated:

While highlighting KL Rahul’s class, the 44-year-old concluded by lauding the Lucknow Super Giants’ lower middle-order for applying the finishing touches to their innings. Chopra explained:

Even though the Lucknow Super Giants lost the wicket of the well-set Hooda off the first ball of the 16th over, they still managed 55 runs in the last five overs. Their bowlers then rose to the occasion to help Rahul’s side register a 12-run win.
