Pant and KL Rahul are young leaders. They still have a lot of catching up to do. While Rahul’s captaincy acumen has come under a lot of scrutiny – especially when he was captaining Punjab Kings, and also during India’s recent tour to South Africa – Pant led Delhi Capitals to third place in the 2021 IPL.

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a season to forget last year, and their lacklustre run continued in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign, having lost both of their games so far. After being thrashed in their first match by Rajasthan Royals (RR), SRH narrowly lost out to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday. After the conclusion of the match against LSG, former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt was not impressed by SRH's performance, saying that there's "something wrong" with the franchise.
Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) pacer Avesh Khan provided his team breakthroughs in both the powerplay as well as in the death overs to deny 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) any chances of a comeback here on Tuesday. It eventually scripted Lucknow's 12-run win in the IPL 2022 match at the DY Patil Stadium. LSG scored 169/7 and went on to successfully defend the target, thanks to Khan's bowling spell (4 for 24). "Effort was to give wickets to the team because that's what the team wants from me. I wanted to take wickets in powerplay phase and slog-overs phase," said Khan at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson said that although there were enough glimpses on Tuesday during the chase of 170 to take the side home against Lucknow Super Giants, it wasn't good enough to do so. In their chase of 170, SRH were ahead in the contest when Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram had a 47-run stand, which was followed by Nicholas Pooran's 24-ball 34. But in the last three overs, where SRH needed 33 runs, Avesh Khan and Jason Holder took two and three wickets respectively to hand LSG a 12-run win.
Lucknow Super Giants paid 25 times more than his base price of Rs 20 lakh to get Avesh Khan's services in IPL-15. The move was worth it as his excellent bowling acted as the catalyst for his team's 12-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. Heading into the lucrative T20 league as the most expensive uncapped Indian player, Avesh picked up four big wickets for only 24 runs and bowled a brilliant 18th over to turn the match decisively in LSG's favour.
