KL Rahul scored 29 runs from 33 balls against SRH (X)
In a crucial do-or-die match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), KL Rahul played one of the slowest innings of this IPL after opening the innings for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Netizens showed no mercy to KL Rahul, trolling him for his sluggish performance, similar to his slow innings during the World Cup final against Australia.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, LSG captain KL Rahul played one of the strangest innings of his career. He struggled to get going, playing a slow knock with no intent. LSG managed only 27 runs in their powerplay, while SRH scored 107 runs during their chase.
There was no competition between the two teams on the pitch. After the match, LSG's owner was seen publicly criticizing KL Rahul in front of the camera, sparking controversy.

Brutal Netizens Mercilessly Troll KL Rahul After Slow Innings for LSG
Fans criticized KL Rahul's lack of intent in a must-win game for the Super Giants. LSG, positioned at the sixth spot in the IPL 2024 points table with 12 points from 11 matches, faced considerable backlash.
A big section of fans even drew comparisons between KL Rahul's slow innings in this match and his 107-ball 66 against Pat Cummins-led Australia in the ODI World Cup final last year in Ahmedabad.
Fans speculated whether KL Rahul's slow innings was his birthday gift to the world champion captain, Pat Cummins, whose birthday was yesterday.
KL Rahul's exclusion from the T20 squad came as a relief to many fans, who were pleased to see Sanju Samson selected for the World Cup instead.
