Yashasvi Jaiswal was Stoinis' victim, batting on 24 off 18 balls. A full delivery outside the off stump tempted Jaiswal to go for a big shot, but he could only manage to hit the toe-end of his bat. Ravi Bishnoi took a comfortable catch at deep point.
Stoinis laughed at Jaiswal's face, reminiscent of a similar incident during India's series against Australia not long ago when Jaiswal was involved in Ruturaj Gaikwad's run-out.

LSG didn¡¯t have a good start as opener Quinton de Kock got dismissed for just 8 runs in the first over, courtesy of a brilliant delivery by Trent Boult.
Skipper KL Rahul top-scored for the hosts with a 48-ball 76. Deepak Hooda also contributed with a gritty fifty as Lucknow Super Giants posted a competitive total of 196/5 in their 20 overs.
With this win, Rajasthan Royals reached 16 points, just a single victory away from securing a spot in the playoffs. Sanju Samson's decision to chase at the toss showed his confidence in his team's ability to chase down any target, backed by a strong bowling attack and in-form batsmen.
In a season marked by frequent scores of 200-plus, RR showed that with quality bowling, they could contain opposing teams below this formidable threshold. Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma set the tone for RR's dominant performance with their impeccable skills.
