- Krunal Pandya and Nicholas Pooran had a brief, tense on-field exchange.
- Pandya tested Pooran with consecutive bouncers on his first deliveries.

During a critical Indian Premier League match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), a notable on-field interaction occurred between LSG teammates Krunal Pandya and Nicholas Pooran. The tension arose when Pandya, who had dismissed an earlier batter, was bowling to Pooran.
Pooran, batting at number three in a crucial situation for LSG, faced immediate pressure. On his very first delivery, Pandya bowled a 119kmph bouncer, which Pooran struggled to connect with. Pandya followed up with another bouncer on the subsequent ball, which Pooran managed to hit for a single.
After completing the run, Pooran walked towards Pandya and exchanged words. While the cameras captured a seemingly heated moment, the interaction quickly diffused as Pandya returned to bowl. The incident underscored the intense pressure LSG faced in their bid to remain in the tournament.
