IPL 2024, LSG vs MI IPL Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians: After back-to-back defeats in the ongoing campaign in IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians’ chances of making the playoffs this season have dwindled significantly. And if they lose against KL Rahul-led Lucknow Supergiants at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow today, they will find themselves in the same situation as Royal Challengers Bangalore. When the season started, Mumbai looked one of the teams that were certain to make the playoffs despite the lack of spin options. On paper, he had an excellent batting and pace unit. However, with injuries to Jason Behrendorff and Dilshan Madhushanka and their replacements Luke Wood and Kwena Mafaka – poor form, MI are in a precarious position along with Nuwan Tushara. Furthermore, Gerald Coetzee has been inconsistent with the ball, despite his 12 wickets in eight matches. Jasprit Bumrah is their single best bowler with 14 wickets at an economy rate of under seven.…read more
Lucknow also head into the match on the back of a defeat in their previous match, although they are favorites to damage Mumbai for two reasons – they are playing at home and are buoyed by the return of Mayank Yadav.
However, amid the IPL 2024 battle in Lucknow and the two teams’ scenarios for the playoffs, it will be Rahul who takes center stage. The LSG captain will probably have one last shot at staking a claim on the second wicketkeeper’s spot in the Indian team before the BCCI T20 World Cup squad is announced.
Rahul’s strike-rate in shorter formats has always been a bone of contention. Despite the advantage of field restrictions in the powerplay, Rahul has always been a slow opener in the IPL. However, the LSG captain has managed to shift gears this season. In the 2024 edition, he scored 378 runs at a strike rate of 144.27 but it was still lower than Rishabh Pant (160.60) and Sanju Samson (161.08).
Comeback man Pant sealed his place as first wicketkeeper by displaying some sharp work behind the stumps and sensational knocks with the bat at the World Cup tournament in the Caribbean Islands and USA in June. By playing match-winning knocks at a brisk pace for Rajasthan Royals.
In such a scenario, Rahul needs to play more fearlessly and utilize the field restrictions to not only strengthen his Indian team’s selection prospects but also help his team score more than 200 runs, which has become the norm in this edition.
