KKR vs LSG IPL 2024, Live Updates: Kolkata Knight Riders will be squaring off against Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL 2024 match on Sunday at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. In this match, LSG skipper KL Rahul will aim to complete his 5000 T20 runs in India.
Quinton de Kock's astute fifty and pace sensation Mayank Yadav's youthful brilliance fashioned Lucknow Super Giants' 28-run romp over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL match on Tuesday. Lucknow constructed their 181 for five around Quinton De Kock's 81 (56b) and Nicholas Pooran's unbeaten 40 (21b). RCB threatened to miraculously scale 182 briefly through Mahipal Lomror, who produced a forceful 33 off 13 balls. However, Mayank's scorching three-wicket haul (3/14) was not to be denied as the hosts were bundled out for 153.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru remained at the ninth position in the IPL 2024 points table after suffering a loss against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. Young fast bowler Mayank Yadav was once again in top form while Quinton De Kock produced a brilliant knock to guide LSG to a victory that saw them move up to the fourth position. Rajasthan Royals are currently on top of the points table with 6 points and the best Net Run Rate (NRR) in the competition followed by Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. KKR will have a brilliant chance to top the list as they face Delhi Capitals on Wednesday.
Young Pace bowler Mayank Yadav grabbed three wickets while Mohsin Khan took two as Lucknow Super Giants defeated Punjab Kings by 21 runs despite openers Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow's century partnership at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Chasing a tough 200-run target for victory after LSG had made 199 for 8, Shikhar smashed a 50-ball 70, while Bairstow was equally belligerent in his 29-ball 42 as the duo amassed 102 runs for the opening wicket.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have played one match in the series and are ranked 10th on the points table, while Punjab Kings (PBKS) have played two matches in the series and are ranked fifth on the points table. Both teams last played against each other in Match 38 of the Indian Premier League, 2023 where Marcus Stoinis scored the highest fantasy points for Lucknow Super Giants with 131 match fantasy points while Atharva Taide topped the fantasy points leaderboard for Punjab Kings with 96 match fantasy points.
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. In the previous season, Rahul was the preferred opener for LSG but Gavaskar suggested another player who should open the batting along with Quinton de Kock.
The World Cup trophy was not meant to be his, but India's 'Captain Fearless' Rohit Sharma gave everything on the field and so did Mohammed Shami, who set the record for most fifers in the tournament's history. India's World Cup dream also had Virat Kohli creating history with his 765 runs and notching up the 50th century to finish as the Player of the Tournament, but there were remarkable performers from the other teams as well. South Africa once again crashed in the semifinal stage but looked formidable yet again, courtesy aggressive batters such as Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen and for New Zealand, the young Rachin Ravindra made it a tournament to remember.
