Today i.e. on 5th May, the best match of the Indian Premier League 2024 will be played between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Before this match, former Indian player and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has given a big statement about Shreyas Iyer.

According to Aakash Chopra, if Kolkata has to win the match against Lucknow, then it is very important for Shreyas Iyer to make a big score. Let us tell you, Shreyas Iyer has so far scored 257 runs in 10 innings in IPL 2024 at a strike rate above 137. In his last match, Shreyas Iyer was out after scoring six runs against Mumbai Indians. Not only this, many questions have also been raised regarding his strike rate this season.

Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘All eyes will be on Phil Salt in the match against Lucknow as his performance has been very good so far. Salt was out early in the last match. Shreyas will also have to score runs now because what is he doing? Neither Shreyas Iyer nor Rinku are scoring runs. In the last match, Venkatesh Iyer had saved your honor by playing a match-winning innings. But it is very important for Shreyas and Rinku to score runs. Not only this, this is Rinku’s house.

Here’s the video:

Aakash Chopra further said, ‘In bowling you have Sunil Narayan because he can get Pooran and Marcus Stoinis out as quickly as possible. Not only this, KL Rahul is also at the top of Lucknow. Sunil Narayan is a very important player and I would also like to see him playing.

If we talk about KL Rahul, if he has the bat then there is no doubt about it. It will be good for India even if the captain and selector have not selected him. All eyes will be on KL Rahul. I hope that the Lucknow captain will score big in this match.
