There appears no end to Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul`s struggles with the bat in IPL 2024, adding more fuel to the fire of speculations about his place in India`s T20I set-up ahead of the T20 World Cup starting in West Indies-USA from June 1 onwards.

Against Gujarat Titans (GT) at Lucknow`s Ekana Stadium, Rahul played a struggling, conservative T20 knock, scoring just 33 runs in 31 balls, with three boundaries. His runs came at a sub-par strike rate of 106.45.
