LSG vs DC: Revitalized KL Rahul to injure his former franchise Lucknow

When we learned that Kl Rahul would be one of the names that will enter the auction fund before the IPL 2025 season, it did not accept as a surprise so much. Although one of the best doughs in the history of IPL and its numbers for Lucknow Super Giants was also remarkable. In 38 matches for the franchise, Rahul scored 1410 runs with 2 hundreds and 10 fifties in his name.

However, there has always been perception Rahul was a bit slow as the cricket T20 and IPL developed. These days he is now considered a punishment of 136.13, Rahul’s best during his time with LSG. And not to mention the famous line of “strike speed”. A 33 -year -old man found himself as a center of attraction for trolls and memes when his LSG career ended. Lucknow, after he got into the play -offs in their first two seasons, tried to do it for the last time, which raised questions about Rahul and his captain.

Then Fallout came up with higher in the team, which seemed to be the last nail in the coffin for Rahul in Lucknow. So he went to the auction hoping for a new beginning. When Rahul’s name appeared, the buzzing was much less compared to when Shreyas Iyer was on the table, and when LSG sprayed 27 Crores to get Rishabh Pant to replace the 33 -year -old.

However, he had several stakeholders. KKR and CSK showed an initial interest before DC threw itself to buy it for 14 Crores. This price seems to be convenient at the moment because Rahul became a knife of the Swiss army for Delhi during the ongoing campaign.

So what changed everything for Rahula?

He loves his game again. We always tend to return to the 2018 season, where Rahul hit the boundaries for fun and was aggressive in PowerPlay. But somewhere that Rahul was lost when he wanted to take the game deep.

After playing as an opener, the only time this season IPL and DC leadership to the famous victory in ChepaukRahul said he was working tirelessly on her play to improve the white ball game. Now he enjoys his game, and what DC has done is that he is putting pressure from him by not coming to the top.

“I have been working on my game in the last year. Shout at Abhishek Nayar. I worked a lot with him. We worked for hours and hours together and discussed our White Ball and how better I can be,” Indian tab coach Abhishek Nayar.

“I’m back to enjoy my games and I didn’t think too much and didn’t think I would take it deep. I just see the ball and try to be aggressive and try to put pressure on the pitch and opposition and enjoy the boundaries,” he said.

Rahul’s custom to chase the former team

When it comes to the persecution of its former party, do not look further and just find out what Rahul did against the RCB since he left them. In 17 matches Rahul scored 741 Runs against RCB on average 74.1 with the highest score of 132 and 4 fifties to his name.

At the beginning of this season we all saw what he did in Chinnaswamy. It wasn’t easy for DC, but Rahul stuck and easily changed the gear that caught RCB outside the guard. And remember that the celebration of the Kantary, who made a statement that the country belongs to him.

Now, April 22, traveling again to the ground that he called home for three seasons. DC and LSG are fighting for a place in the playoffs with Delhi, which sits in a comfortable place thanks to Rahul’s performances.

LSG will have to be cautious about Rahul because there is no same shy opener from the last season. In fact, his party seems to be gone. On a slow track in Ekana, a smarter and revitalized Rahul could make a statement, perhaps even stronger than the one who made in Chinnaswamy.
