Analysis
The captain KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis are two of the top performers for Lucknow Super Giants in the batting department, playing a key role for the team in putting decent totals on the board more often than not in the IPL 2024. The bowling attack of LSG has been very good as a collective unit, with the likes of Mohsin Khan, Yash Thakur, Krunal Pandya, and the now-injured Mayank Yadav stepping up with the ball.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt have been wreaking havoc on the opposition bowling lineups quite consistently in the IPL 2024, allowing the middle-order batters in the team to play around them. Sunil Narine is also the pick of the bowlers for KKR in the tournament, and the likes of Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, and Varun Chakravarthy have delivered performances in the supporting cast as well.
