KL Rahul LSG IPL 2024 : When Lucknow Super Giants scored 163 runs while batting first in the match played against Gujarat Titans on Sunday evening, no one would have expected that LSG would be able to defend such a small total. But Gujarat Titans team was out after scoring only 130 runs and could not even play the full 20 overs of its quota. After this victory of Lucknow, team captain KL Rahul has made a post on X. In this, he has given credit for the victory to the entire team and a video has also surfaced, which is from the dressing room.

The team managed to reach the playoffs for two consecutive years, although the team neither reached the finals nor could win the title. This time too the team has taken a step towards the playoffs. The special thing is that whenever the team has scored more than 160 runs in the IPL, every time the bowlers of the team have been successful in saving this total. So far this has happened 13 times. This time also something similar was seen. The team has batted first 18 times in the IPL so far and won 15 of them, lost two and one match was inconclusive.
