Lucknow has proved to be laggy in the run chase.

Lucknow Super Giants won their last match while chasing on 7 April. After that every time chasing the target, this team has lost. The pace with which captain KL Rahul was batting in the initial rounds has lost its momentum. Against Rajasthan, Rahul was seen struggling for a single in front of Trent Boult. Later, when he went to attack the famous Krishna, he was given a simple catch.
