IPL 2022: It seems that things are getting very fast for the new IPL team, the “Lucknow Super Giants.” Or one can say more than any team Lucknow Super Giants know how to be in headlines or news.

From the highest ever purchased team to the highest ever purchased player in the IPL, from creating hype for their name to revealing their team name. There is a lot that is going on. And we have brought you another update related to the Lucknow Super Giants. This time it is related to their newly appointed captain, KL Rahul. 

IPL 2022: Talking to Boria Majumdar, KL Rahul revealed how the team wanted to settle and cover three basic elements of cricket. KL Rahul said, “

The idea behind (picking) Stoinis and Bishnoi is very simple. When you are trying to get three retentions, you want to get three pillars sorted. You have an opening batter in me, you have an all-rounder in Stoinis, who can bat No. 5-6. We’ve seen that in Big Bash, he has opened as well. He’s a very flexible player. He gives you a sixth bowling option as well.”

Marcus Stoinis played the last two seasons of the Indian Premier League for the Delhi Capitals before being picked as a draft player by the Lucknow team. Earlier than that, Stoinis was part of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), where he was with KL Rahul as a team member. On the other hand, Ravi Bishnoi, who played under KL Rahul in Punjab Kings in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Check the bbl 2022 schedule and the latest news here.

KL Rahul also praised the all-around ability of Marcus Stoinis and the variety Bishnoi could offer the team. He said,

“Marcus is a very committed player and is a brilliant team man. Bishnoi has a big heart for a youngster who hasn’t played too much. In IPL cricket he has shown a lot of heart. He wanted to be in the fight and bowl to the likes of Pollard, Russell, Hardik, and Rishabh. Whenever they came in, he would say, ‘bhaiyya mujhe ball do’. I can see him playing for India soon and for a long time.”
