KL Rahul could also be finisher for Lucknow Super Giants in this season’s IPL: Gavaskar

Kolkata: Former Indian captain and batting great Sunil Gavaskar believes Lucknow Super Giants' skipper KL Rahul can play the finisher's role as well in the TATA IPL 2022.

Praising the stylish right-handed batsman, Gavaskar said KL Rahul has all the shots in the book to be a finisher for his side.

While speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, "KL Rahul is such an integral part of any team. He opens the batting and gets to bat 20 overs and sets the pace for his team. I believe he has the ability to be the finisher as well."

"He's not just somebody who can begin the innings and get the team off to a good start. He has all the shots in the book to finish it off as well. So if he gets going till the 15th-16th over, then LSG can post 200-plus on the board," Gavaskar added. (UNI)
