Former cricketer Brett Lee of Australia expressed his dissatisfaction with KL Rahul’s behaviour during the Kolkata Knight Riders game at Ekana Stadium. Rahul, who was chasing 236 runs, started quite slowly for Lucknow and was removed after scoring 25 runs off of 21 deliveries. Lee claims that because the hosts never appeared at ease, his knock put pressure on the other batters. Ultimately, they suffered a 98-run defeat and dropped to fifth place in the standings.
Phil Salt and Sunil Narine, the opening pair for KKR, were excellent, according to Lee, who felt that their combined 70 runs was the difference. It took some time for LSG players to calm down, but Salt and Narine were both aggressive from the beginning. Lee claimed that KL Rahul’s run-a-ball innings were to blame for Lucknow’s demise.

“I believe there is a stark disparity between the two opening hitters on both teams. KKR has it figured out. They are scoring runs and getting off the blocks swiftly. Additionally, you have KL Rahul on the opposing side, who is exerting a lot of pressure on the back end and scoring a run every ball. Lee stated on Jio Cinema, “You know, we watched four games, and I picked KL Rahul here, the first four games he played.”
He had a strike rate of 129, but after increasing to 150, he returned and stated, “Well, yeah, you know the bowlers have done a great job.” Since he hasn’t scored as many runs as he should have, I believe he is under a lot of pressure,” the former pacer continued.
In the meantime, Lucknow will play its next away games against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, and Mumbai Indians. They must win most of their games in order to go to the playoffs, and even then, the KL Rahul-led team might have to wait on the outcomes of other teams.
