Lucknow predictable winner of the IPL 2022
Lucknow Super Gaints is one of the teams which have debuted in this IPL season. The team was sold to Ranjiv Goenks group for US$940 million. The team is being headed by KL Rahul who is leading the team in the best possible way and no one could have expected this type of excellent performance from a newly inducted team. They have positioned themselves at number 2 on the points table after playing a total of 12 matches and getting 8 victories. Ahead of them is Gujrat Titans who are leading the table with only one match.
Having analysing all the factors some prominent strengths which are short listed for the performance of the team are detailed below.
Reasons for success of LSG
- Good bowling attack
- The most prominent factor in the success of the team so far is the bowling attack of the team which is so aggressive that it hardly allows the batsman to stay on crease for longer time. And when we talk about the grounds of Mumbai and Pune, the pacers play an important role in picking the wickets. LSG was very right in selecting Holder, Mark Wood, Avesh Khan, Ankit Rajpoot and Chameera. Al these are playing their efforts more or less equally for taking the team ahead.
- Experienced batting
- Though the experienced is equally provided in every team but the IPL matches are mostly batting oriented and the concerning department of batting is being carried by two international players i.e. the captain himself Rahul and Quinton de Kock. In last 10 matches the average of the openers id 52 and 29 respectively. Other than these two, the team has Hooda, Stonis and Holder as well who provides striking to the ball in crucial times
- Long batting line
- If the top order fails to perform the team has a deep batting line till number 8 or 9 who are ready to take the shots in an efficient and time/ bowling constraint environment. We have witnessed the matches against RR in which Chameera and Avesh showed their proficiency with bat as well along with bowling.
- Allrounders
- The team is made strong by investing on quality allrounders in the team. These are the one who can do both jobs in resource deficient environment may it be deficiency of overs or less runs to defend. The all-rounders of the team are playing and excellent cricket. May it be Holder Krunal, Stonis or Hooda, every one amongst them are filling the gaps of the team in a gainful way.
- No pressure of expectation
- The burden of expectations form anyone is very pressurizing and being a new team in the season, none could have imagines that this team can go that far in the tournament. This sense of being light on the shoulders the players like Rahul, Holder, Hooda and Stonis can take the team to a high end. With the overall performance being shared by the team, there are very bright chances of winning the tournament.
