Marcus Stoinis acknowledged that the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are lacking the opening batter at the top despite the club picking up two victories without regular leader KL Rahul. LSG tried two different top-level lineups after Rahul missed three games, but none of them worked as well as Rahul Mayers did. In Rahul’s absence, replacement skipper Krunal was forced to serve as the sheet anchor. The southpaw gave Stoinis room to play his natural style while scoring an undefeated 49. The all-rounder for Australia said that it is encouraging to see everyone stand up in Rahul’s absence.
