IPL 2022 | SRH vs LSG: Lucknow relies on batting prowess to come good against Hyderabad
The Hindu
LSG did not have the best start to their debut season, losing by five wickets against fellow IPL debutants Gujarat Titan
Their campaign back on track after a poor start, new entrants Lucknow Super Giants will rely on their batting prowess to get past Sunrisers Hyderabad in an Indian Premier League match in Navi Mumbai on Monday.
LSG did not have the best start to their debut season, losing by five wickets against fellow IPL debutants Gujarat Titans.
But they roared back in style by beating defending champions Chennai Super Kings six wickets in a high-scoring affair in their second match.
In skipper KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, LSG boast of formidable opening pair, and they proved their worth against CSK by scoring 40 and 61 in a 99-run first-wicket stand.
West Indian Evin Lewis smashed unbeaten 55 off 23 balls in a steep chase of 211 against CSK while, in Deepak Hooda, LSG possess a dependable middle-order batter.
Young Ayush Badoni, who has taken the ongoing IPL by storm with his six hitting prowess, is a treat to watch and would be looking to carry on his fine form.
Badoni struck an 41-ball 54 in his IPL debut against Titans and followed it up with yet another entertaining nine-ball unbeaten 19-run knock against CSK.
