[Watch] Captain gets captain as KL Rahul holes out to Ruturaj Gaikwad at extra cover for 16 off 14 in CSK vs LSG IPL 2024 match
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul departed cheaply against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. The wicketkeeper-batter made just 16 runs off 14 balls, including a four and a six. With that, the Super Kings reduced LSG to 33/2.
For the unversed, the dismissal came in the fifth over of LSG's run-chase. Mustafizur Rahman bowled a full-length ball outside off and Rahul went for the drive over the 30-yard circle. The right-hander failed to get the elevation as CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad completed the catch at extra cover.

Despite departing early against CSK, Rahul has been impressive with the bat this season so far. The 32-year-old has amassed 302 runs in eight matches, including two half-centuries.
On the other hand, Mustafizur Rahman has been exceptional with the ball for the Super Kings in IPL 2024 so far. The left-arm pacer scalped 11 wickets in his first six matches.
