Aussie Legend Mathew Hayden takes a dig on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and skipper KL Rahul after a shameful loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Sunrisers Hyderabad chased the total within 10 overs and made themselves more strong in the top 4. After this loss, KL Rahul was triggered by everyone for his immature innings and bad captaincy. Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goaenka ranted KL Rahul after the match and also in front of the crowd.
Mathew Hayden slams KL Rahul and Co
Lucknow Super Giants lost the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad which was a shameful loss for them and since then they have been facing backlash for their poor performance. Aussie legend Mathew Hayden also slams KL Rahul for his poor captaincy and approach towards his team. He scored 29 runs in 33 balls his performance is not consistent and his captaincy too has failed. Lucknow Super Giants are now technically eliminated from the tournament after that tournament. Mathew Hayden says:
“This is not five runs per over wicket. Somebody needed to show intent. They had one of the slowest power plays. That took the innings nowhere. When the opposition team has Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen, your intention should be to go at 10s and over. 160-170 will never be enough,”
Such kind of approach will surely target your behavior and that affects your performance. KL Rahul has been inconsistent throughout the season still team was performing well enough they chased 210 in Cheepauk with the help of Marcus Stoinis’s magnificent knock of 124. After this match, Lucknow Super Giants run-rate have dropped to negative. Will it cost more in upcoming games or will finish on a happy note?
