NEW DELHI: Ahead of their
IPL 2024
match against
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
on Tuesday, the Lucknow Super Giants shared a heart-warming video of their trio of cricketers who hail from the capital city of Karnataka.
LSG captain
KL Rahul
,
Devdutt Padikkal
and
Krishnappa Gowtham
all hail from Bengaluru and all expressed their fondness for coming to the city for the match.
"Coming to Bengaluru with a lot of love," LSG titled the video that has the 3 cricketers talking about their cricketing journeys.
On being asked as to what Bengaluru means to them, all three reply "home".
"My journey as a cricketer all started here and there are so many memories attached to this ground," the clip has Rahul saying fondly.
Gowtham talks about his record at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, while Padikkal goes on to say that no matter where he goes to play, it is always to come back home.
LSG are sweating over the fitness of the regular captain KL Rahul. The Karnataka player handed the captaincy to Nicolas Pooran for the previous match.
Rahul, who suffered a quadriceps injury after the first Test against England earlier this year, is being eased back into the game.
With a win and a defeat to their name, LSG are at the sixth spot in the points table.
Having lost 2 matches and won only 1, RCB are at the ninth spot.
