KL Rahul penalized for slow over rate after win against Rajasthan Royals in the 2023 IPL

On Wednesday, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 26 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 with an incredible comeback victory. Sanju Samson asked LSG to bat first in Jaipur, and they responded with a valiant 154 for 7 in their 20 overs. The LSG openers, KL Rahul as well as Kyle Mayers, batted on a difficult surface, averaging roughly 7 runs per over until the first wicket fell. 

Before he was bowled in the eleventh over of the innings, Rahul scored 39 runs off 32 balls. Later, Mayers scored a valiant 51 off 42 balls. But the other batters in the middle order fell apart as number three Ayush Badoni scored just one while Deepak Hooda returned with just two. 

Even with their modest contributions, Marcus Stoinis (21) with Nicholas Pooran (29) attempted to restart the innings, but they could only get them to 154 for 7 in the scoreboard. With their opening pair of Jos Buttler (44), as well as Yashasvi Jaiswal (44), combining for 87 runs for the first wicket, RR responded effectively. With a large number of wickets and extra overs at their disposal, it appeared that RR would win the game fast. To put LSG back on track, Marcus Stoinis quickly replaced Buttler and Jaiswal, but he had other plans. As LSG pulled off a spectacular victory to earn 2 more points in the league, Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, and Riyan Parag all had a rough day at work.

KL Rahul, the captain of the LSG, was penalised Rs 12 lakh for keeping sluggish overrate during their IPL match against the Rajasthan Royals in this location. At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Wednesday night, LSG overcame Rajasthan Royals with a score of 10 runs. IPL matches are intended to last three hours and twenty minutes, but slow over-rate is proving to be a problem as numerous games have gone over the four-hour mark.
