Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul on Saturday termed his match-winning hundred against Mumbai Indians a "special one" but wants his team to remain humble after having made a good start to its IPL campaign in its first year. Rahul scored 103 not out off 60 balls to guide LSG to an 18-run win against five-time champions Mumbai Indians, who have slumped to their sixth successive defeat.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul made batting look like a walk in the park with a 56-ball century in his 100th Indian Premier League (IPL) game to put five-time champions Mumbai Indians all but out of the league with an 18-run win on Saturday. Rahul's unbeaten 60-ball 103, his third three-figure mark across all editions of IPL, propelled Lucknow to a commanding score of 199 for four and then his bowlers joined the party to restrict MI to 181 for nine in 20 overs.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul smashed an unbeaten 103 on Saturday as they handed five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians their sixth straight loss this season.
Trent Boult produced one of the finest deliveries ever bowled in the Indian Premier League on Sunday night, as he dismissed Lucknow Super Giants captain and star batter KL Rahul on the first delivery of the innings. Rahul was beaten all ends up by a scorching Boult yorker from around the wicket as LSG got off to the worst possible start in their chase of the 166-run target. Boult wasn't done as he also trapped Krishnappa Gowtham in front of the wicket to pick up two wickets in the over.
Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul said 'one bad game won't change things' and they will only learn from it. Shimron Hetmyer's unbeaten 59 and a four-wicket haul from Yuzvendra Chahal helped Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by three runs here at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. "I didn't see it (the ball that got him from Boult), if I did I could have done something about it. Have to give it to him. Was a good ball. We have a good team, and have enough options with bat and ball. Even when we were 20-odd for three, we knew we had a chance. Obviously, today we needed one good partnership which we never got going," said Rahul in a post-match presentation. LSG skipper praised Marcus Stoinis for his excellent innings and said his first game of the season will give him the confidence to do better in the next match. Stoinis smashed 38 not out in just 17 runs.
Delhi Capitals by six wickets, Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul lauded his team's powerplay bowling and said it was a complete team effort and everyone stepped up brilliant in the match. A brilliant 80-run knock by Quinton de Kock and quick 10 runs by Ayush Badoni, guided Lucknow Super Giants to a victory by 6 wickets in a last-over thriller against Delhi Capitals, here at Dr DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai on Thursday. "I think we were brilliant (with the ball). In the powerplay, we obviously need to go back and work on. But that's how powerplays go sometimes. We assessed things well after that and bowled better. Obviously, would have loved the bowlers to assess things a bit earlier, but it was nice to see them discuss the lines, lengths and pace to bowl after the powerplay," said Rahul in a post-match presentation.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul on Monday achieved a milestone by completing 50 half-centuries in the T20 cricket during an IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Rahul, who became the fifth Indian to get to the milestone, has joined the likes of Virat Kohli (76), Rohit Sharma (69), Shikhar Dhawan (63) and Suresh Raina (53) in the elite list.
Ayush Badoni was batting in the nets and played a superb innovative sweep shot, reminiscent of South Africa legend AB de Villiers. Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul was watching Badoni from a distance. After Badoni played the shot to send the ball over the ropes, KL walked up to him and applauded him, and asked him which cricketer he admires the most. The 22-year-old Badoni said - AB de Villiers. The next day, when the Lucknow Super Giants, who lost their first ever IPL match against the Gujarat Titans, faced defending champions Chennai Super Kings and found themselves in a tough spot, Badoni played a calm and composed cameo to take his team home. Badoni was batting on 5 off 4 balls when he moved across the line and scooped Shivam Dube for a six over deep backward leg. Captain KL had a huge smile on his face watching this young lad from the dugout. Badoni had played out a replay of the shot he played during the net session earlier.
