When a batter is in red hot form, he manages to middle almost every ball in the innings and also plays some innovative shots to even difficult balls. Lucknow Super Kings (LSG) skipper, KL Rahul produced one of the best innovative shots in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as he hit a reverse scoop to yorker and directed it towards the third man to get four runs.
Lucknow Super Giants are doing superbly well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 so far and have also started the game against Delhi Capitals pretty well. LSG won the toss and opted to bat first going citing the hot and humid conditions. The team lost their first wicket on a total of 42 but a partnership between Deepak Hooda and KL Rahul stitched a brilliant partnership as the latter went on to score a half-century in the match.
