The start of IPL 2022 was not special for Lucknow Super Giants LKN. The team had to face defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans in their very first match. But after this defeat, this team led by KL Rahul caught the momentum, and then there was no looking back. However, in the last few matches, Lucknow LKN had a special chance of becoming the table topper. But he missed this opportunity by losing 2 out of his last 3 matches.
Lucknow LKN played its last match in the league stage against Kolkata Knight Riders. In this match, KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock had scored 210 runs in the highest opening partnership in the history of IPL. But the teams bowlers were blown away in saving this target, in the end, a brilliant catch by Evin Lewis gave Lucknow the match. In such a situation, now the eliminator is going to be responsible for the victory over the bowlers of this team.
No one could consider Royal Challengers Bangalore RCB as a top-4 team before the start of IPL 2022. But the way the uncapped players of the team have contributed to the teams victory by increasing their stature, it is completely commendable. In this, Rajat Patidar and Shahbaz Ahmed have emerged as the biggest positive points. Along with him, veteran Dinesh Karthik has surprised everyone with his smoky performance.
Before the last match, the biggest star batsman of this team, Virat Kohlis bat was calm. The biggest relief for RCB is that in the last league match, Virat scored a superb 73 runs in do or die situation, along with Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell also contributed significantly to the teams victory in this match. Now for the victory of Bangalore in the Eliminator match, it is very important for these three players to walk.
