New Delhi. IPL 2024 is now in full colour. While seniors like Virat Kohli are performing well, young Ryan Parag is also challenging him. Rohit Sharma has returned to form after forgetting his initial failure. KL Rahul, who was forced to leave the India-England series midway due to injury, is also slowly returning to form. Meanwhile, KL Rahul received such praise, which he could not understand at first. Instead he had to say that now you will also make fun of the strike rate.
In the Indian Premier League on 7 April, Lucknow Supergiants defeated Gujarat Titans by 33 runs. After this match, Lucknow captain KL Rahul got best wishes to become the next Defense Minister of the country. Lucknow Supergiants themselves have posted this on social media. It can be seen in a video that KL Rahul is resting, when a cricket fan (actor Shubham Gaur) comes to meet him. Cricketfan says, ‘I think you should be the next Defense Minister of India…’
KL Rahul is unable to understand this praise and says that now you will also make fun of the strike rate. Then the cricket fan says that no-no, that’s why you defend the score of 160. Let us tell you that whenever the Lucknow Supergiants team has scored 160 or more in the last 13 matches, it has defended it with complete success.

On April 7 also, Lucknow had scored 163 against Gujarat Titans. This is never considered a big score in IPL. But when the team is Lucknow, it wins the match even with this score. Gujarat Titans team was out for 130 runs while chasing the target of 164. As far as strike rate is concerned, KL Rahul scored 33 runs on 31 balls in this match. His strike rate was 106.45.
In IPL, many batsmen including KL Rahul are on target for their strike rate. Orange cap holder Virat Kohli is also included in these. Virat has scored the maximum 316 runs in the tournament. His strike rate is 146.29. KL Rahul has scored 126 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 128.57.
