PBKS vs LSG Live: KL Rahul’s strike rate under scanner!
Though Lucknow pitch has not been ideal for batting, skipper KL Rahul’s strike rate became the talking point again as his team failed on last Saturday to chase down 136 against Gujarat Titans. Rahul has a strike rate of 113.91 so far in the competition and can surely do better on that front. Though 200 has not yet been scored at the PCA Stadium in the season so far, the pitch should be friendlier for the batter.
