Lucknow Super Giants have certainly done well under the captaincy of Rahul in the tournament. With eight wins already under their bag, the Super Giants have almost confirmed their spots in the playoffs of the tournament. Rahul said that they are not thinking too much about it right now.

KL Rahul acknowledged that the results give them confidence that they are going in the right direction, and they would want to continue building the momentum on it.

“We are not thinking too much about where we are sitting on the table,” KL Rahul said.

“Obviously it gives us confidence, it tells us that whatever we have done has worked for us and we are going in the right direction. We would wanna continue the same thing.”

KL Rahul went out on a diamond duck in the last game against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He had a little mix-up with his opening partner Quinton de Kock which resulted in his dismissal. Rahul said that he just asked Quinton de Kock to score more runs and make his run as well.

“I just said him (Quinton de Kock) to forget about what has happened. Score as many as you can, he was batting well so I told him to make my runs as well,” Rahul said regarding Quinton’s incident.
