Rahul’s one-man performance led his team to their fifth victory of the campaign and fourth place in the standings.

Lucknow Super Giants defeated Mumbai Indians by 36 runs thanks to KL Rahul’s 103-run innings and Krunal Pandya’s three-wicket haul.

“KL was incredible. When they delivered wide to him, he played beautifully off the front foot and opened the face of the bat. He was excellent at pulling the ball into the gaps. “I also think he did a good job with the ground measurements,” Bichel added.

KL Rahul fined Rs 24 lakh for second over-rate offence:

KL Rahul has been penalized Rs 24 lakh for bowling at a sluggish rate against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) (MI).
