The overview
"I can't think of a game where the performance was perfect," said captain KL Rahul after the Lucknow Supergiants beat the Kolkata Cavaliers by 75 points and jumped to the top of the table in the previous game. A 'perfect match' has yet to happen, but LSG, like the IPL debutant Gujarat Titans, are stable enough to go eight wins in 11 matches. The two teams will play their second match and the winner will be the first team to qualify for the IPL 2022 playoffs. LSG is going strong, with the Trot taking four wins after five wins for the Titans. You'll crave a winning streak, lose two in a row, and get back on the winning streak.

Leading the LSG rankings were Rahul and Quinton de Kock, but they also found a solution to the third problem in the form of Deepak Hooda, with scores of 41, 52 and 34 respectively. The last three games. At the same time, they are considering the batting position of Marcus Stoinis, with LSG hoping his 28 from 14 balls in the last game is a sign that the Australian has yet to make a big impact. At the forefront of bowling, LSG has a well-balanced speed attack on all cylinders. Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Dushmantha Chameera and Jason Holder scored 44 wickets in it, underscoring the collective nature of LSG's bowling weapons.

The Titans, who beat LSG and launched their first IPL campaign, did a lot of shaving but found a sneaky way. However, in the last two games, there have been problems with the mid laner, resulting in two losses. Although Sai Sudarshan was ranked 65th, he was under par against the Punjab Kings overall. The Titans dominated most of the Mumbai Indians' pursuit, with Shubmangil and Uri Diman Saha recording half a century in the opening round, but it wasn't enough. in the end. Aside from the batting issues, Mohammed Shami's expensive outings in recent games have been a minor issue for GT, which hopes to get back on track soon.

What they said
I finished 4 or 5 races and the situation is the same as when I reached the required grades. Due to the nature of T20 crickets, 6 times will close 20 times, depending on the day, 6 times will close 10 times. You need to learn from these experiences and we will focus on it as a team. You need to avoid repeating all the negative things you did in previous tournaments. It was a good learning curve for us. If you get into this situation again, you need to focus on the end of the game. ” - Rashid Khan after running out in GT vs MI.
