There is to be a mega auction before IPL 2025 which is very close. Before this, a big news to Lucknow Super Giants has come out. Actually, according to media reports, it is believed that the Lucknow Super Giants franchise is not at all happy with the strike rate of their captain KL Rahul, due to which they can release him.
According to TOI reports, a source associated with LSG has given this information. He said, 'Lucknow Super Giants' management, mentor Zaheer Khan and coach Justin Langer analyzed the data and it has come to light that the Super Giants team lost almost all the matches where KL Rahul batted for a long time and scored runs. '
He further said, 'This shows that KL Rahul's strike rate does not match the pace of the game. More scores are now being scored with the Impact Player rule. You can't afford to let someone like that keep batting at a low strike rate for so long at the top of the order. It is noteworthy that in the last IPL season, KL Rahul was the highest run scorer for the team. He played 14 matches in the season and scored 520 runs at a strike rate of 136.12.
KL Rahul's strike rate was really quite low. A total of 7 players had scored more than 500 runs in the season and among them, KL Rahul was batting with the lowest strike rate. Also know that Lucknow Super Giants team is looking towards retaining Mayank Yadav, Nicholas Puran and Ravi Bishnoi. Apart from this, they can retain Ayush Badoni and Mohsin Khan as uncapped players.
