High-scoring matches have left coaches like Langer in disbelief this season!
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer is absolutely gobsmacked by the batting fireworks in IPL 2026. After witnessing Mumbai Indians (MI) chase down a staggering 229 with over an over to spare, he’s left pondering how safe totals have dramatically shifted. This season, the boundaries are being obliterated, and teams are clocking 200 runs like it’s a casual day at the park.
Langer didn’t hold back in his post-match comments, saying, “I literally cannot believe the batting I’m seeing at the moment. It is breathtaking. It is absolute.” His awe extended beyond the usual suspects; even debutants like Raghuvanshi are making waves, hitting sixes like seasoned pros. Yet, amidst the batting frenzy, he acknowledged the bowlers' efforts, pointing out that they’re still holding their nerve in tough conditions.
With LSG’s position looking shaky—sitting at the bottom of the table with a mere two wins—Langer knows changes are essential. He highlighted the need to rethink their batting order, saying, “We had to do something.” His praise for Nicholas Pooran was palpable, as he noted how the star batter is lifting spirits and smashing it out of the park.
As the season progresses, fans can expect Langer to keep pushing for a turnaround. Will the Super Giants find their groove before it’s too late?
