“Rahul’s been batting in the nets superbly. He’s not the kind of player anybody worries about because we always know it’s literally one innings away. Captaincy has never plagued him,” Rhodes said

Is Lucknow Super Giants’ decision to keep Quinton de Kock on the bench hurting the team? It certainly appeared so on Saturday night when despite KL Rahul’s first half-century (74 off 56) of the IPL season, Lucknow went on to lose to Punjab Kings here.
The team management has preferred Kyle Mayers over de Kock after the West Indian went hammer and tongs in the opening two games when de Kock was unavailable due to international commitment. On de Kock’s return, it was assumed he would walk into the XI, but LSG have preferred the Barbadian, who does give glimpses of Chris Gayle when on song, but is surely not as consistent as de Kock. Mayers has not contributed much in the last three outings. So, how long will LSG keep de Kock on the bench?
