Even before the match at the Ekana Stadium could commence, there was a big surprise for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fans. It was not their regular captain KL Rahul but his deputy Nicholas Pooran who came out for the toss. The first question in everybody’s mind was had Rahul’s injury flared up, especially after he had kept wickets in the opening game at Jaipur against the advice of BCCI’s medical team.
At the time of going to press, PBKS were 39-0 in four overs. Though Rahul was in the XI, Pooran said at the toss that Rahul would play as an “impact player.”
He probably meant he would be replaced by an impact player when it was the turn of LSG to defend the target. Ultimately, he was replaced by pace bowler Naveen-ul-Haq.
