KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, and a Story of two fifties
When two evenly matched teams play a game, the conditions of the playing field are crucial, even in the shorter format of T20 cricket. In a recent match played in Lucknow, the pitch was slow and had a low bounce, and the boundaries were far from the pitch. The batters found it challenging to hit the ball out of the ground, and only three batters hit sixes in the entire match. Hardik Pandya hit four sixes for the Gujarat Titans, while Kyle Mayers and Krunal Pandya hit one each for the Lucknow Super Giants.
Whenever the batters tried to play aggressively, they had to take a risk. The 2017 IPL final between Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant is an excellent example of this. In the final, RPS had to chase only 130 runs, but they struggled to score runs at a fast pace for most of their innings, even though they had lost few wickets. Eventually, they lost the game by a margin of one run, having left their risk-taking too late and relying on Mitchell Johnson’s pace, which Mumbai Indians denied them until the end of the match.
