Lucknow is one of the two newly added franchises in the ongoing edition of the Indian T20 League 2022. KL Rahul is appointed as the captain of the side while Gautam Gambhir is the mentor. Playing its debut season, Lucknow has fared exceedingly well in the 15^th edition of the tournament.

In 10 matches, Lucknow have won 7 games and, currently, find themselves at number two on the points table. Their recent form inspires a lot of confidence. Lucknow have managed to secure a hat-trick of wins and would be looking to extend the winning run on Sunday. Given how they are performing at the moment, Lucknow would be confident of reaching the playoffs.

KL Rahul has led from the front. He has been sensational with the bat and is currently the second-highest run-scorer this season. In 10 matches, he has aggregated 451 runs at an average of 56.38.
