Lucknow Super Giants had been restricted to only 163/5 whole by Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2024 clash at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Marcus Stoinis smashed 58 off 43 however the likes of KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal struggled to impress in a house sport.
Rahul received the toss and elected to bat first however his determination backfired in the very first over. Umesh Yadav dismissed in-form Quinton de Kock and struggling Padikkal in the primary three overs to offer Gujarat a powerful begin.Â
LSG made a comeback with Rahul and Stoinis including 73 runs for the third wicket. However, followers weren’t pleased with the duo’s method and took to social media to precise their emotions. KL Rahul bought trolled for scoring one other struggling knock of 33 off 31 balls with the assistance of three fours.
The star wicketkeeper has managed to attain 126 runs in 4 innings however his strike fee of 128.57 just isn’t serving to his trigger to win the T20 World Cup 2024 spot. Rahul’s conventional method in modern-day T20 cricket is clearly triggering Indian followers to query the participant’s position if he gets chosen for the mega ICC match in June.Â
With Rishabh Pant again to full health and scoring two fifties in the primary 4 innings in the IPL 2024 and Sanju Samson spectacular with each bat and management abilities, Rahul’s choice is unlikely for the World Cup 2024.Â
India have closely utilised Punjab Kings’ wicketkeeper batter Jitesh Sharma in the current T20Is and the selectors are prone to maintain him into account for the World Cup spot.Â
Notably, KL Rahul partnered with Rohit Sharma to open an innings in the earlier T20 World Cup in 2022 with Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik donning the gloves.Â
