Kolkata: Following his side's win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant gave an update on an injury scare he faced during the match, saying that his back is fine.

LSG continued to improve its fortunes with a second-successive win in the tournament, downing KKR by four runs in a thriller. During the match, in the 12th over of KKR's innings, Pant was seen down on the pitch, receiving some treatment from the physios on his back. After that, Pant continued to keep wickets.

During the post-match presentation, Pant said about his back, "It is fine now."

Talking about his side's performance, he said, "I think when we batted we didn't realise it will get this close but after the powerplay we did. After the first timeout we went to the bowlers and told them to stick to the plans, not try too many things and do the basics right. That was very conscious (to slow down the game), when the game is going down at that pace you need to do something, it works sometimes and sometimes it does not work." with three wins and two losses, giving them six points. KKR has sunk to sixth with two wins, three losses and four points to their name. (ANI)
