Speaking of the Lucknow Super Giants, they clinched the third spot in the league stage in IPL 2023, captained by Krunal Pandya, who took over when KL Rahul had to nurse an injury scare.
However, their playoff dreams went down the drain in the Eliminator, where they got trounced by the Mumbai Indians, losing by a whopping 81 runs at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium.
