Nicholas Pooran is the most important player for LSG and a power batter from the West Indies. In between overs, Pooran can change the game’s score. If he gets going, the SRH bowlers will have a hard time keeping him under control. Pooran could be a good fit for the high-scoring Arun Jaitely pitch with his batting approach.
KL Rahul (C)
The Lucknow team will have a lot of expectations from Lucknow’s captain, Rahul, today. Till now, he has scored the most runs for the Lucknow Super Giants. He has scored 460 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 136.09. Today, he will have to play with a better strike rate than this.
Marcus Stoins
The Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis is a key player in the LSG squad. His potent hitting in the middle overs can help LSG post a high total and increase the scoring rate. His ability to find spaces and rotate strikes also keeps the scoreboard spinning. He amassed 355 runs at a strike rate of 151.70 in 12 games.
