IPL 2023: 3 players who can replace KL Rahul in LSG's squad

2. Gurkeerat Singh

Gurkeerat Singh has been a prominent figure in the Indian domestic circuit. He is known to take the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and turn the game in the favour of his side.  The Punjab-born has featured in 95 List-A matches and amassed 3369 runs at a strike rate of 89.33. 

Coming to the shortest format, Gurkeerat has played 118 matches and amassed 1985 runs at a strike rate of 124.06. He has shown glimpses of brilliance in the lucrative T20 tournament and scored 511 runs in 41 matches at a strike rate of 121.09, which includes two half-centuries.

Given Gurkeerat has thrived in the domestic arena and has considerable experience of playing in the T20 carnival, the Lucknow management could ponder over signing him as an injury replacement for LSG’s designated skipper KL Rahul.
