KL Rahul Jokes About His Own Slow Strike Rate in a video Released by LSG | Source: X.com
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) maintained their winning momentum in the IPL 2024 season by defeating Gujarat Titans, clinching their third consecutive victory on Sunday.
While the victory elevates LSG to the third position on the points table, with 3 wins in 4 matches, the performance of their captain KL Rahul has raised eyebrows.
In the video, a staff member of LSG humorously suggested to Rahul that he should be the ‘next Defence Minister of India,’ prompting Rahul to jokingly respond, “Are you mocking my strike-rate as well?”
The staff member then clarified his remark, stating that he called Rahul the potential Defence Minister because LSG has been successfully defending totals exceeding 160 runs. Here’s the video:
KL Rahul’s IPL performance thus far comprises 126 runs from four matches, averaging 31.50 with a strike rate of 128.57. Notably, he scored a half-century with 58 runs off 44 balls against RR, but his other contributions include 15 runs in nine balls, 20 runs in 14 balls, and 33 runs.
