DC take on LSG in Arun Jaitley Stadium

It's not a big thing for us: Klusener

KL has got his own unique style: Klusener

Delhi Capitals (DC) take on the Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. It is a must win game for DC. LSG would also want to ensure a victory so that their qualification to the playoffs would not be dependent on the performance of other games. The heated exchange between LSG Captain KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka, the Chairperson of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group was a major talking point after the game between LSG and the Sunrisers Hyderabad. “I don’t see any problem with some robust discussion between two cricket lovers. So for us, I guess it’s just a storm in a teacup. We love a robust discussion. I think that’s how teams get better. So, it’s not a big thing for us,” LSG Assistant Coach Lance Klusener said in a press conference ahead of the game.

The strike rate of KL Rahul has been a rather discussed aspect of his performance. His exclusion from the Indian T20 World Cup squad is attributed to his strike rate by some experts. “KL has got his own unique style which has made him a fantastic player and respected around the world. I think this IPL has been exceptionally tough for him because we’ve kept losing wickets at stages which hasn’t allowed him to kick on where he likes. He probably feels like he’s always having to rebuild. I think as a batting unit around KL, we haven’t been as good as we should. It’s just been extremely tough conditions for him. That’s something we’ve chatted about as well — we’ve just kept losing wickets at tough times,” Klusener added.
