IPL 2023: Rating all 10 teams based on their performances thus far
IPL 2022 runners-up Rajasthan Royals (RR) are sitting at the top of the points table after more than two weeks of action.
3. Lucknow Super Giants- 8.5/10
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have played quality cricket so far in the tournament. With three triumphs in five matches, they are in the second position on the points table following Rajasthan Royals (RR). Kyle Mayers, who is playing his maiden IPL season, has played his role efficiently and delivered some phenomenal starts to the team.
Another Caribbean player Nicholas Pooran, who became a part of LSG this year at a hefty price of INR 16 crore, has justified his amount with his stunning match-winning knocks. In their last game against PBKS, their skipper KL Rahul also gained confidence and notched up 74 runs off 56 deliveries.
Mark Wood has showcased his best side with his blazing pace. Scalping 11 wickets in four matches at an economy of 8.12, he is currently the highest wicket-taker for LSG. Ravi Bishnoi has also emerged as a steadfast servant of the team, trapping eight batters in five matches with his fabulous leg-break bowling. However, indisciplined bowling from Avesh Khan has become a concern for the LSG team management as the speedster has failed to take wickets and has also not been able to stop the flow of runs.
