Lucknow Super Giants face Mumbai Indians on Tuesday in the 48th match of IPL 2024. Before the selection of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, there will be another opportunity for KL Rahul to cement his claim for selection as the second wicketkeeper. All eyes will be on him. The team for the World Cup may be announced on May 1.
Rahul's strike rate is a cause for concern
Rahul's strike rate has been a cause of concern in T20 cricket. Despite fielding restrictions in the powerplay, Rahul has been off to a slow start in the IPL. However, this changed in this session. So far this season, he has scored 378 runs at an average of 144.27. At the same time, Rishabh Pant's strike rate was 160.60 and Sanju Samson's strike rate was 161.08.
Pant's place in the T20 World Cup team is almost certain. After recovering from the car accident, he has performed brilliantly in both wicket-keeping and batting. Sanju has also staked his claim strongly by playing aggressive innings for Rajasthan Royals. In such a situation, Rahul will have to play more aggressively so that his team can score big and he can also strengthen his claim.
De Kock-Stoinis will have to score runs
Lucknow was defeated by Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the last match. Now the responsibility of scoring fast runs will be on Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran. In front of them is the Mumbai bowling attack which was thrashed by the Delhi Capitals batsmen all around the ground on Sunday.
Jake Fraser impressed a lot
Mumbai bowlers had no answer to the strokes of young Jake Fraser McGurk. Even a world-class bowler like Jasprit Bumrah gave away 19 runs in the first over. Luke Wood and Hardik Pandya proved to be very expensive. The Mumbai team is in ninth position in the points table and will have to win all the matches to remain in the race for the playoffs.
Mumbai has hopes for Suryakumar
Good innings will be expected from Indian captain Rohit Sharma and number one batsman Suryakumar Yadav in T20. Hardik, who has failed with both bat and ball this season, will have to perform well to make it to the World Cup team. So far there have been four matches in IPL between Mumbai and Lucknow. Out of these, Lucknow has won three matches and Mumbai has won one match. Mumbai won its only match against Lucknow in the eliminator last year.
