KL Rahul has yet to produce a big innings in the IPL this season that can convince the cricket experts and the national selectors that the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper is back at his best after coming back from an injury that kept him out of the four Test matches against England. Rahul has got starts in all four IPL games but has yet to make them count. When he started the campaign with a half-century (58) against Rajasthan Royals, it seemed he had found instant form. Subsequent scores (15 v PBKS, 20 v RCB, 33 v GT) do not do justice to the reputation he has built over the years.
Skipper’s form, no worry
Despite the low scores, the LSG management is not worried about his form. Assistant coach Lance Klusener, a former South African all-rounder, said “For a player of KL [Rahul]’s calibre, a big knock is just around the corner. It is a long-drawn tournament, with the team scheduled to play 14 to 17 games. No player can be expected to perform at the optimum right through. However, an experienced and talented player like KL will always find top form sooner than later.”
