Despite having been among runs, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul has come under scanner by fans and pundits for his ultra-slow scores in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). LSG have kicked off their campaign bagging three wins in four games. Taking a closer look at Rahul's numbers so far, the 31-year-old has amassed 81 runs in four matches at an average of 20.25. His strike rate has been only 100 this season. Whereas in IPL 2022, he scored 24.81% of the total runs by his side, in contrast to 10.98% of the team runs he has scored in the ongoing edition. 

Meanwhile on Wednesday, the right-handed wicketkeeper-batsman came under scrutiny for his slow strike rate against Rajasthan Royals. Slamming his batting approach in the PowerPlay, a visibly irked Kevin Pietersen reportedly said on air, "Watching KL Rahul bat is the most boring thing I have ever been through." The aforementioned incident ​​​​​​elicited a spate of reactions on Twitter. Check them below.
