KL Rahul Gives Blunt Verdict On IPL's 'Two Bouncers' Rule After Loss vs Rajasthan Royals
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul didn't want to read too much into his team's 20-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in their opening IPL game but admitted that none of the teams have been able to crack the Powerplay code in the first week so far. Two bouncer per over rule has been introduced in IPL from this season and LSG were bounced out in the first six overs of their chase of 194, reducing them to 47 for 3. Rajasthan Royals were a shade better at 54 for 2 in their first six overs. Both Devdutt Padikkal and Rahul needed to undergo concussion protocols after being hit on the helmet by Trent Boult. "It is just the first game and I am not going to make too much out of it or over-analyse," Rahul said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

With Riyan Parag (43) also playing his part well by forging a 93-run association for the third wicket to consolidate for their side, Royals batting did come good in their opening game.

KL Rahul To Not Open For Lucknow Super Giants In IPL 2024? Sunil Gavaskar's Interesting Advice
Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar believes that KL Rahul might play at No. 4 for Lucknow Super Giants and promote explosive West Indies batter Nicholas Pooran to No. 3 in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. During a recent interaction, Gavaskar said that Pooran is an extremely destructive batter and he should be given more time out in the middle with Rahul not playing at his preferred batting position.
