Recalling a match that season, Tushar said- In one match I was bowling a good yorker, but suddenly I bowled a bouncer and got hit for a 100-meter six.

“He has done a good job as captain of LSG…”, said Jonty Rhodes about KL Rahul
The way he leads the team and the kind of setup and approach he has is fantastic – Jonty Rhodes KL Rahul & Jonty Rhodes (Photo Source: Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants performed brilliantly in the first two seasons and made it to the playoffs. But the performance of the franchise in IPL 2024 was disappointing, the team finished seventh with seven wins in 14 matches, 14 points. Before the IPL 2025 auction, there are reports that the franchise may release KL Rahul. Let us tell you, last season, after the defeat in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, there was a tussle between owner Sanjeev Goenka and Rahul on the field. However, Sanjeev Goenka has dismissed all speculations and called KL Rahul an integral part of the team and his family. Meanwhile, LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes has made a big statement praising Rahul’s captaincy and approach. Jonty Rhodes said a big thing about KL Rahul’s captaincy Jonty Rhodes, while speaking on India Today, said, I think if you look at the record as a captain of a new franchise, reaching the playoffs every time, as he has done. That is something that means a lot to his captaincy. The way he leads the team and the kind of setup and his approach is fantastic. Speaking further, Jonty Rhodes said, Look at Rohit and Dhoni’s record as captains, the trophies they have won and the consistency they have shown to win trophies. From LSG’s point of view, reaching the final, winning the trophy, it can be just one thing. Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful IPL franchises with five titles, but the team had to struggle for many years to win the first title. The franchise won the first title in 2013. Jonty Rhodes believes that Lucknow Super Giants are also struggling just like Mumbai right now.
