"We played stupid cricket with the bat," said Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul after eking out a 20-run win over Punjab Kings in a low-scoring IPL game. LSG were restricted to 153 for 8 before their bowlers rallied to restrict Punjab to 133 for eight. "I was disappointed and fuming at the end of the first innings. Stupid cricket with the bat," Rahul said at the post match presentation.
The elegant KL Rahul's ability to score at a healthy rate by playing textbook stroke has caught the attention of none other than batting great Sunil Gavaskar, who feels it's a message that one doesn't need to manufacture shots to score quickly. In the ongoing IPL-15, Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rahul has been in sublime form at the top of order and has already hit two hundreds -- both against Mumbai Indians. With 368 runs, he is the second highest run-getter so far this season, just behind Rajasthan Royals' Jos Buttler.

Slams third ton vs IPL giants and 2nd of the season as LSG hand Mumbai their 8th lossIt seemed to be a repeat of what happened a week back. In the first leg against Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul had scored an unbeaten 103 off 60 balls at the Brabourne Stadium. On Sunday, a kilometre down the road, at the Wankhede Stadium, Rahul smashed 103 off 62 balls (12x4, 4x6) to propel LSG to a competitive total of 168/6 against MI in the return leg between the two sides. AS IT HAPPENEDThe chase was a stuttering one. Rohit Sharma (39 off 31b; 5x4, 1x6) went off the blocks quickly, but at the other end, Ishan Kishan endured a horrible stay at the crease. Kishan scored 8 off 20 balls and just didn't find his timing. In the next four overs after Kishan's departure, MI lost the wickets of Dewald Brevis, Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav in quick succession. At 67/4, a win for Mumbai was an uphill task. Tilak Varma (38 off 27b; 2x4, 2x6) and Kieron Pollard (19 off 20b; 1x6) added 57 for the fifth wicket but it proved too big a mountain to climb. In the end, Mumbai fell short by 36 runs.
