3 reasons why KL Rahul can guide Lucknow Super Giants to their maiden IPL title in 2024

Lucknow Super Giants have proved in the first two years of their existence that they belong here. They have qualified for the playoffs on both occasions and this time they will be desperate to travel the distance to etch their name on the trophy. Captain KL Rahul will play a decisive role in the franchise. There are cogent reasons why he can script history for Lucknow this season. 

Has made vital changes

Lucknow Super Giants have made some crucial changes in their setup before the next season. They have included players like Devdutt Padikkal, David Willey, and Shamar Joseph in the team. Last season the franchise had to face elimination in the playoffs and these inclusions are aimed at removing those loopholes that cost them in the playoffs. KL Rahul certainly had a role in bringing these changes and the franchise might reap the rewards in IPL 2024. 

Tricky fast bowling unit

Lucknow Super Giants have some interesting names in their bowling unit, particularly in the fast-bowling department. They have recently included Shamar Joseph who was impressive in Australia and has got the pace. Along with him, the franchise will have the services of David Willey, another experienced pacer. For any captain, a lethal bowling unit is mandatory for their chances in the tournament. KL Rahul has a bowling unit that can help him put the team on the podium at the end of the season. 

A plethora of all-rounders

Another major strength of Lucknow going into the next season is the number of all-rounders they have in their team. The shortest format of the game demands players who are multidimensional and Lucknow have those players in abundance. KL Rahul will have no dearth of options and if used judiciously, they can certainly prove decisive for the team. As a captain Rahul has been impressive in using his resources to perfection and now with a lot more options, the captain will certainly have more freedom to tweak plans as per the demands of the game.
