LSG captain KL Rahul didn't begin well this season, having scored just 81 runs in four outings, while Deepak Hooda hasn't clicked with the bat either, scoring 35 so far.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have tasted success in IPL 2023 so far, but not by riding on the shoulders of its captain KL Rahul. The India batter hasnt looked in the best of touches, as he managed just 81 runs in four outings. What worked for the newly-inducted franchise this season is the team balance and contributions from everyone in the batting order, and ahead of LSGs next match against Punjab Kings, Aakash Chopra feels by not depending on KL, the franchise has actually benefitted itself.
Much like how it was in the past, even when KL was leadingPunjab Kings a couple of seasons before, the team used to be dependent on him every time, and that didnt do any good to their chances of making it big.Chopra feels although KL and Deepak Hooda - both of whom shined with the bat the previous season, are yet to fire this time, LSG could still make several changes to their XI against Punjab for the Saturday evening game.
