Notably, LSG took on RCB for the Eliminator of IPL 2022 on Wednesday, here at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. Chasing a target of 208, the Super Giants needed a fiery start but they did not get one, with Rahul trying to play the long game instead.

Though the skipper kept his team in the hunt by scoring 79 runs, it was his strike rate of less than 140 that really hurt LSG. Speaking about it, former national team coach Ravi Shastri said “KL could have taken a little more chances because Hooda was going.”
“Take a little more chances and he could have targetted someone between the 9th and the 13th over because Harshal was going to come back in the end. If they had got the required rate down at the stage, that would have made RCB a little nervous,” he further added.

Meanwhile, Sanjay Manjrekar echoed similar feelings as he said ESPNCricinfo “Everytime he decided to play the big shot – it came off. He can do it when he wants to, but he just has this very deep-rooted attitude of batting longer, rather than faster.”
Giving the Indian team’s limited-overs vice-captain some suggestions, Manjrekar further added “If I was his coach, I would take the decision out of his hand. We have seen a lot of games where a team will benefit immensely if KL Rahul just batted quicker.”
