IPL 2020 | Is KL Rahul's sluggish batting becoming a concern for Kings XI Punjab?

India TV News  

It has been a season of mixed emotions for KL Rahul. Handed the leadership role of a franchise for the entire season for the first time in his career, few veterans and analysts have expressed eagerness in keenly watching Rahul and KXIP's progress in IPL 2020, while backing him as Virat Kohli's successor. And this has been the issue for Rahul in IPL 2020, barring that RCB game when his scoring rate was truly blistering. Overs vs Team Powerplay 7 to 12 Diff in SR Delhi Capitals 6.63 - - Royal Challengers Bangalore 7.66 8.1 0.44 Rajasthan Royals 8.67 8.47 -0.2 Mumbai Indians 6 3.6 -2.4 Chennai Super Kings 6.86 5.25 -1.61 Except for that RCB game, his scoring rate has fallen on each of the last three matches over the next five overs resulting in more pressure on the remaining batting lineup. If Rahul, and he definitely does from what we have seen in the last few months, does go deep into the innings for KXIP, he will have to increase his run rate and look for more aggressive shots than acting as an anchor which could in turn provide bowlers with more runs to defend, especially given their death-over numbers with the ball.
