"Can't Really Understand...": IPL Winning Coach On Injured KL Rahul Batting Late vs RCB

Lucknow Super Giants had a forgettable outing on Monday as they faced an 18-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their IPL 2023 match. Apart from losing the match, LSG faced a huge blow as their skipper KL Rahul sustained an injury. Rahul pulled his right thigh muscle in the second over of RCB innings while trying to stop a boundary. This resulted in him, leaving the ground in the first innings and finally returning to bat at No 11 during the 19th over of LSG's chase. However, LSG had already lost their grip over the match by that time and Rahul could not make any difference as RCB defended a low total 126.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has pointed out that Jos Buttler's mediocre performance and Sanju Samson's poor show with the bat in IPL 2023 is a cause of concern for Rajasthan Royals. It is worth noting that Samson is the captain of the side while Buttler opens the batting. Both of them are key batters in the RR line-up, but have failed to live up to the expectations in the ongoing season so far.
