K.L Before their last IPL 2024 match against MI at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, LSG’s assistant coach Lance Klusener stated that “Rahul is well-liked in the Lucknow locker room and that his captaincy has been nothing short of exceptional. Klusener did acknowledge Rahul’s frustration with his season-long comeback to form with the bat, though.”

Nearly eliminated from the postseason race is LSG. If the team captained by KL Rahul is to remain in the running for the final top four spots, they must defeat MI by a massive margin of roughly 300 runs. As their chances of qualifying for the postseason for the third straight year appear slim, it’s appropriate to take stock of the highs and lows of a mediocre season.

“Everyone in the group respects him. He’s done an amazing job leading by example. However, upon reflection, he may be a little miffed at the quantity of runs he managed to score,”Klusener added.

Throughout IPL 2024, Rahul’s strike rate has been a hot topic of discussion. The wicketkeeper-battler’s performance has declined after he was left out of India’s Twenty20 World Cup selection. With 465 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 136.36, Rahul—who has scored at least 550 runs in five of the previous six IPL seasons—has managed to rank among the top 10 run scorers.

Supporting Rahul, “Klusener stated that although the LSG skipper had a strong season at bat, the inconsistent play of the other batters in the lineup prevented him from reaching new heights. Over the tournament, he has put up a few outstanding displays.

“Several times, he has had to start over. Around him, we’ve lost wickets. We haven’t let him engage in his normal activity,” Klusener remarked.
