LSG vs KKR IPL 2022 Highlights: Lucknow Super Giants claim top spot with dominant 75-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders

That's all the action we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us for Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders game! We will be back tomorrow for the double-header Sunday... Until then, it's goodbye.

"The attempt was to get Dre Russ out, as he was going well. My aim was going with the hard lengths even if that goes for six. His wicket was the best of the three as he was on top. I look to take it one ball at a time. My dad and the coaches have encouraged me to take wickets and help the team win," says Avesh.

"Played really well, started well with the bat, except for the run out. Was a tricky wicket. Knew it was going to be slow and sticky. Had to get around 150-160. The way Quinton and Deepak batted, made it look easy. Big hitting from Stoinis and Jason gave the momentum. We started superbly with the ball, put the ball in the right areas, couldn't have asked for more," says Rahul.

"Having skill is one thing, but knowing what to do when is important. They've been put under pressure a couple of times but they've stuck to their strengths and been brave with the ball. That's all we can ask for."

"Credit must be given to the bowlers, I thought we held our nerve with the bat to post a 170+ total. The guys said it is not easy and a lot of the guys (bowlers) went into the wicket which paid out well and was the right thing to do. We complement each other well and it is not an individual or a couple of individuals who have stood out for the season," says Jason Holder.

"They outplayed us in both the departments - batting and bowling. We got off to a bad start in the powerplay and also we leaked a lot of runs the death overs," says Shreyas Iyer.

Lucknow Super Giants have surpassed Gujarat Titans to claim top spot in the points table. Both have 16 points each but Lucknow are first due to a superior run-rate. A 75-run win is the biggest win of the season when it comes to the margin of runs.

Chasing 177 for the win, Kolkata are bundled out for 101 in the 15th over. Avesh Khan and Jason Holder picked up three wickets each while Mohsin Khan and Chameera inflicted early damage. Ravi Bishnoi also picked up a wicket.

A run-out in the end! Harshit Rana's wicket seals the win for Lucknow, who take the game by 75 runs!
