Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be locking horns with Kolkata Knight Riders tonight at the MCA Stadium Pune. LSG is looking like one of the strongest sides in the IPL, winning 7 out of 10 games. However, KKR looks desperate for a win to avoid depending on other fixtures for qualification later in the tournament. Ahead of the clash, a video was shared on the official LSG Twitter account. Since 8 May is celebrated as Mother’s day, Lucknow Super Giants players will be donning a jersey with their mom’s names on it. This is a very good way to pay respect and show gratitude towards their mothers as the players have to stay away from the family. Since the IPL is taking place in a bio-secure environment, players cannot celebrate the occasion off the field. If they manage to win this one, it will be the best gift.
KKR is currently at number 8 and to have chances of qualification they need to win all their matches. Whereas the debuting franchise Lucknow is in a strong position, coming after 3 consecutive wins. Skipper KL Rahul is just 49 runs away from completing 500 runs this season. With this, the 2022 edition will become the 5th consecutive year where he has scored 500+ runs.
