🏏IPL 2024: Match 21 - LSG vs GT at Lucknow @ 7:30PM IST🏏 - Page 3

Let's see what the conditions have in store for us. We have moved on to pitch no. 5. Equidistant square boundaries - 66m to each side. 75m hit down the ground. The shortest and longest pocket are 60m and 79m, respectively. The pitch looks hard and Matthew Hayden proves that by banging his knuckles into the turf. He reckons it might be an innings of two halves. It will not be easy work but it the batting conditions will be great with the ball coming on. As the ball gets softer, though, it could get tougher.

Pitch and ground dimensions: It's 75m straight down the ground, 66m square boundaries. The surface today looks very hard, not a lot of friction will be created because of the hardness. Will be better for batting when the ball is hard, batting might get little tough as the ball gets softer. Dew won't come into play reckons Daren Ganga.

Nicholas Pooran: (On the surface) It's definitely different this year, there's more bounce on the wicket and more batting-friendly, looking forward to that as batsmen. (Ideal batting position) It doesn't really matter what's the right position. In the last eight years, I have batted all different numbers and have had enough experience. Whatever situation, whatever number the team required me to bat, I know I have the game to perform that role. It's a long tournament, losing is a part of the game but that loss in the first game showed us what we needed to fix as a group. The guys really bounced back in the next two games. Today we have another opportunity to try to be consistent as a group and try to get the results we want. (How many LSG players are signing up to face Mayank Yadav in the nets?) Not much, definitely not much.

Lucknow Super Giants have won the toss and have opted to bat

Why Rahul you won the toss

LSG won the toss and opted to bat first.

KL Rahul: We are going to bat first. Looks like a good wicket, we batted first in the last two games, defended pretty well. They have a better record against us, but they have been a better team. We are playing with the same team. It's still his first season, a few injuries have been hard on his body. For a 21 old boy he's very professional. It's important for us to manage him.
