Lucknow Super Giants skipper K L Rahul wants his top-order batters to up their game following their second consecutive loss in the Indian Premier League. The 24-run loss to Rajasthan Royals on Sunday was LSG's first back-to-back defeat in the competition, denting their chances of finishing in the top-two.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul wants his top-order batters to up their game following their second consecutive loss in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 24-run loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday was LSG's first back-to-back defeat in the competition, denting their chances of finishing in the top-two. They need to win their remaining game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday to finish in the top-two and get two shots at reaching the final.
Rajasthan Royals innings against Lucknow Super Giants at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday will be a perfect one. There was no standout performer, yet the Royals managed to put up a competitive 178/6 on the board. The top-scorer was opener Yashasvi Jaiswal with 41 (off 29b; 6x4, 1x6) and the other batters chipped in with useful knocks. AS IT HAPPENEDIn reply, LSG were never in the chase once Trent Boult took out Quinton de Kock and Ayush Badoni in the third over, and then Prasidh Krishna sent back KL Rahul cheaply. Deepak Hooda (59 off 39b; 5x4, 2x6) and Krunal Pandya (25 off 23b; 1x4, 1x6) added 65 for the fourth wicket, but the required run-rate kept on rising during their stay at the crease. Towards the end, Marcus Stoinis (27 off 17b; 1x4, 2x6) hit some lusty blows but it wasn't enough as LSG fell short of the target and lost by 24 runs.
LSG skipper KL Rahul could be tempted to bring in the experience of right-hand batter Manish Pandey in place of youngster Ayush Badoni to bolster the batting line-up when they take on Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. LSG are placed second in the points table currently while RR have seven wins from 12 games and occupy the 3rd place for now. LSG would like to improve after their last match's performance where they were thrashed by 62 runs vs GT.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 57 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, on Tuesday. Lucknow are currently on top of the IPL 2022 points table with 16 points from 11 fixtures, including eight wins and three defeats. They are currently on a four-match unbeaten run and defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 75 runs in their previous fixture on Saturday. All eyes will be on Avesh Khan, who took three wickets against KKR in three overs, conceding only 19 runs.
Both sides have won eight and lost three with LSG's superior net run-rate pushing it ahead of the Titans. On Tuesday, a win for either of the two teams will not only propel them to 18 points but also help cement a spot in the playoff stage.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 53 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune on Friday. The KL Rahul-led side are currently second in the IPL 2022 Points Table with 14 points from 10 fixtures, including seven wins and three defeats. In their previous fixture, LSG defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by six runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 1.
A resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders will be wary of the threat posed by Lucknow Super Giants' in-from skipper KL Rahul when the two sides face off in the IPL here on Saturday. LSG are sitting in second place with 14 points and are on course to secure a play-offs berth, thanks to a stupendous show by Rahul, who has been their batting mainstay.
