Is.” It’s incredible over time.

KL should just remain fearless.
Ganguly praised for a long time KL RahulVariety of skills and strokes, and his only request from the LSG captain is fearlessness.

So what is it that Rahul should change?
“I think it depends on what the captain and the coach instruct him to do in the middle. Last day I saw him play an innings against Chennai, which Lucknow won, I thought he was extraordinary. He played well at the top, gave orders and did exactly what needed to be done at that time.
“As I said, it is about playing freely and without any fear. That is important in T20 cricket. Virat, Rohit, Rishabh (Pant), Rahul, Surya (Yadav), Hardik (Pandya), Players like Shivam Dubey of CSK are extraordinary talents, they all have a lot of six-hitting ability.”

Kept. The final ended in a heart-breaking defeat.
