There’s a batting template that KL Rahul and Jos Buttler are setting this IPL—bat deep into the innings. On Sunday afternoon, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rahul rolled out another masterclass of anchoring and and pacing the innings as his side set a formidable target of 196 for Delhi Capitals.
Rahul’s immaculately paced 51-ball 77 triumphed Capitals’ boom-and-burst batting method as LSG registered a tight six-run win at the Wankhede Stadium. For most part of the chase, it seemed it was the Capitals who were acing the power hitting but Rahul and Deepak Hooda’s clean and steady second-wicket partnership of 95 off 61 balls had a greater impact on the game.
