Helmed by India’s choice of red-ball captain in the absence of Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul has lead the way brilliantly for debutant franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) – so much so that they currently occupy the third spot on the points table.
Under the able guidance of strategic maestro Gautam Gambhir, LSG have barely left the top rungs, maintaining a steady competition with table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT).

KL Rahul has been impressive as a skipper. No wonder he sits atop the list of highest run-getters for LSG. He also managed to score 500+ runs this season for the 5th consecutive year, a feat that has not been achieved by any other. Rahul has an impressive team to hold down the fort with a stylish batting line-up and impressive bowlers. His highest score this season was 103*(62) against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede.
