The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are geared up to clash against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2026 match on Friday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow.
Ahead of the match, a video of LSG's all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar alongside his wife, Saaniya Chandhok, has gone viral.
The newlyweds were walking through the airport when the paparazzi started filming them. Initially, Arjun ignored the cameraperson, but later he appeared to be upset with the person and said, "delete kardo".
In the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league, the Super Giants are placed in the 10th position with two wins and seven defeats. They have a net run rate (NRR) of -1.076 and four points.
On the other hand, the Royal Challengers are in the third position with six wins and three losses out of nine games. They have a net run rate (NRR) of +1.420 and 12 points.
Ahead of the match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be making his 200th appearance in the history of the cash-rich league. Considering the result of the previous match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the upcoming match on Friday will be an interesting one to watch out for, as the race for the playoffs has been intensified.
