KL Rahul has remained coy on if he would remain batting as an opener in T20 cricket after LSG’s win over MI on May 17, Friday. Rahul opened the batting for LSG throughout the season and ended up with 520 runs to his name from 14 matches. The wicketkeeper-batter finished as the highest run-getter for Lucknow in an underwhelming season for the franchise after scoring 55 against MI. <\/p>\n
Rahul himself had suggested he was ready to be flexible<\/a> and could come to bat in the middle-order for the Indian team with the T20 World Cup in view. However, Rahul decided to keep batting at the top of the order throughout the season. Following the win<\/a>, the LSG skipper said that he has learned a lot from the season and his future role will depend on what the Indian team wants from him in the shortest format of the game. <\/p>\n MI vs LSG: Scorecard<\/a> | Highlights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n “There’s not much T20 cricket coming up now. Its a season where I have learnt where I stand and how can I do better and get back in the team. My role depends on what the team wants. I have did that my whole career,” said Rahul. <\/p>\n This was the first time in their history that LSG failed to make it to the IPL playoffs and Rahul said it was a very disappointing season for them in the end. The LSG skipper felt that they had all the bases covered but a few injuries ended up hurting them. <\/p>\n Rahul also said that LSG didn’t do well as a collective unit and they didn’t come together as they had hoped for. <\/p>\n “Very disappointing. At the beginning of the season I thought we had a very strong team and we have all bases covered. Couple of injuries which happen to every team every season hurt us a little bit. We didn’t play well enough collectively. When the bowlers had a good game, the batters didn’t. We just didn’t come together as much as we have wanted,” said Rahul. <\/p>\n LSG ended up finishing the season with 14 points to their name but an inferior run-rate meant that they missed out on the playoffs spot. <\/p>\nVery disappointing: Rahul on LSG’s season<\/h3>\n
