Umpires and the players intervened before things could get messier and Sharma was sent back on his way while Rathi would go back to bowl. However, when the tables turned, SRH fans were ready to give Rathi back.
When Rathi was smashed for three consecutive boundaries by Kamindu Mendis in the 14th over, an SRH fan was seen dong the 'notebook' celebration which the spinner consistently does after dismissing batters. The video of the fan is going viral all over social media.
In the end, SRH fans had the last laugh as they beat LSG by six wickets to end the play-off hopes of the Lucknow franchise. LSG put 205/7 batting first but the target was chased down by SRH with 10 balls remaining in the contest.
LSG's hopes of making it to the top four are now over and they have become the fifth team of the season to get eliminated. SRH were already out of the race to top four.
