This quote comes from
KL Rahul, captain of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), after his team lost their
opening match of the IPL 2024 season to the Rajasthan Royals.
Here's a breakdown of
the key points:
LSG Lost Opener:
Lucknow Super Giants fell short by 20 runs while chasing a target of 194 set by
Rajasthan Royals.
Powerplay Struggles:
Both teams lost wickets early in their innings, particularly during the
Powerplay (first 6 overs where only 2 fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard
circle).
No Perfect Strategy: KL Rahul believes no team has figured out a watertight strategy to dominate the Powerplay yet, due to the new rule requiring bowlers to deliver two bouncers per over. This makes it challenging for batsmen and creates a more balanced contest.Positives for LSG: Despite the loss, Rahul highlighted some positives. He felt 194 was a chaseable target and his team fought back well after losing early wickets. He also praised the return of pacer Mohsin Khan, who is a crucial bowler for LSG in the Powerplay.
Overall, KL Rahul is
acknowledging the challenges in the new IPL season with the Powerplay rule
change, but remains optimistic about his team's prospects.
