It was his all-round performance that helped Lucknow defend a low total of 155 against a strong RR batting lineup. Stoini made 21 off 16 and followed it up with a brilliant bowling spell of 2/28 in four overs.

Without a doubt, KL Rahul is the biggest name in the LSG batting order, and his form is very important for the team. However, the team has done brilliantly despite his poor form, and Rahul has played some good innings in the last couple of games.

He is coming off from 74 off 56 against PBKS and 39 off 32 against RR. Rahul has scored 194 runs in six innings at 32.33 and a strike rate of 114.79. Despite his struggle, he will be a big wicket for the opposition because, as seen in the last few games, he is well-suited for the tricky pitch in Lucknow.

1. Kyle Mayers

The left-hander has scored 219 runs in six innings at an average of 36.50 and an impressive strike rate of 154.23 with 15 sixes.
