after Lucknow Super Giants‘(LSG) 54 -run defeat in Wankhede against Mumbai Indians (MI), his playoff opportunities have made a big hit.
The team led by Rishabh Pants currently ranks sixth with five wins and five defeats in 10 matches. Damage has also affected Lucknow’s net run rate, as it has gone down by 0.325.
This will be a difficult task for LSG. But the good thing is that they will have a very important time to be organized again. The LSG will see to use your one week brake to come back with fresh energy to push for the final four.
How can LSG still be qualified?
To strengthen its place in the final four, LSG will have to win all its remaining matches. The Four will win its number to 18.
The pant -led team cannot tolerate any slip, as even a solitary loss in their last four outings will obstruct their opportunities, and then the net run rate will come into focus.
Who is that IPL player?
However, LSG patron Zaheer Khan is confident that the team will jump back in the remaining matches.
“Ten games below, five wins, five loses where we are standing, and we also don’t have such a great net run rate. It’s just about playing some good cricket and making sure that we don’t rely on the net run rate. This is something that we should know about,” Zaheer told reporters after the match.
“If you are talking about going to win the tournament, you have got some good cricket to play, you’ve got to react to situations. I believe that if this group reacts in that fashion, and that’s the atmosphere we have created.”

When is LSG next match?

The team’s mentor Zaheer Khan made it clear that the team would directly go to Dharamasala to upma and re -organize for the final phase of the tournament.
He said, “This is something that we had definitely talked about. Again it is something that will happen when we reach Dharmasala,” he said.
“Some people are really going ahead of Dharamshala because the weather is going to be good and cool; it’s just about that downtime.”
He said, “We have done enough work; all teams have done a lot of work. It is just about finding the sparks and those who are going to make a difference for the franchise,” he said.
Captain pants should move
LSG captain Rishabh Pant has scored a disappointing run with the IPL bat, scoring six singles scores for 110 runs in 10 matches, with the only performance of the note with 63 against Chennai Super Kings.
On Sunday, LSG Captain Pant prepared for only four in an attempt to reverse the part -time spinner Will Jack of Mumbai Indians.
The pants were purchased for Rs 27 crore – the most expensive purchase in the IPL auction history – and it seems that the pressure of the big Pachek is affecting their performance. However, Zaheer does not agree with this.
“He is a leader, and he has been fantastic as a leader; this is something I can fast,” he said.
“As a leader, he is ticking all boxes. As a batsman, the middle order is dependent on Rishabh, and I am confident that the effect we want will come. It’s just about clicking a few,” Zaheer said.
