In the ‘flow show’ against DC, LSG captain KL Rahul made the “biggest mistake” and was warned to “throw video analyst’s computer away.”

The Lucknow Super Giants’ hopes of making the IPL 2024 playoffs were badly damaged by their loss to the Delhi Capitals yesterday night. LSG may not be eliminated officially with 12 points from 13 games, but their chances are slim to none. They play their final match on Friday against the Mumbai Indians in a knockout match, and with the Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Sunrisers Hyderabad looming, even a victory there may not be enough. According to Mohammad Kaif, LSG and its skipper KL Rahul made a critical error that cost them the game on Tuesday against the Capitals. A victory might have gone a long way.

The former Indian batsman criticised Rahul for choosing to bowl first after winning the toss, highlighting the competition’s high scoring format. Rahul made a tactical blunder, which Kaif called out, and the team that batted first scored more than 200 runs in total. However, IPL 2024 has proven to be a season in which no total is guaranteed. Even though they gave up 208, LSG had a tiny window of opportunity because to Arshad Khan’s explosive half-century. But those were eventually put out as DC needed to win by 19 runs to remain in the game.

“Remove and discard the video analyst’s PC. They chose not to use any figures. Here, 200 has not been pursued in any way. I’ll give you the figures for this year. The squad that bats first has won each of the last four games. “You declared that you would field first after winning the toss,” Kaif stated on Star Sports.

“The choice made at the toss was the biggest error… There will thus also be a question mark over the bowling. With this match, Lucknow had everything to gain. It seemed to me that Lucknow’s concert was a complete failure.”

Chopra mocks the batting of LSG

Rahul was the target of criticism from more than only Kaif. Though not because of his leadership, Rahul’s former India teammate Aakash Chopra wasn’t exactly fond of him either. Chopra was frustrated with Rahul and the team’s batting misfortunes as a whole, as they failed miserably to chase 209 to win. LSG’s top order was destroyed at 44/4, and things would have gone far worse if Nicholas Pooran hadn’t made a valiant 61 off 27 with six boundaries and four sixes.

Marcus Stoinis and Rahul each scored five, but Quinton de Kock’s poor performance continued with a dozen. Ayush Badoni’s six was what Deepak Hooda was hoping to win. In an innings that finally gave up, LSG’s batting was disorganised. In the end, the fact that the LSG did not go out completely turned out to be a godsend, as the run rate became important in the last week of the league matches for the 2024 Indian Premier League.

“What kind of batting are you doing when Lucknow comes to bat? Due to Quinton de Kock’s poor bat technique, KL Rahul was out for five. Then (Marcus) Stoinis arrived, leaving him trapped in the midst. For zero, Deepak Hooda was out. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “What are you doing?”
