 "'Literally a one man show': Twitter lauds 'magnificent' KL Rahul for notching up second ton of season")
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul was on a roll against the Mumbai Indians as the right-handed batter notched up his second century of the season at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
After being put into bat, Lucknow lost Quinton de Kock (10 off 9 balls) early to Jasprit Bumrah.
Rahul was then joined by Manish Pandey and the two batters tried to steady the ship and chipped in with a partnership of 58 runs for the second wicket.
Pandey’s dismissal for a 22-ball 22 was followed by a fall of wickets at regular intervals. But the captain stood firm at the other end and provided the much-needed resistance and helped the side put up a total of 168/6 in 20 overs.
Rahul faced some problems initially after Bumrah troubled the batter with his line, length and pace but played his strokes later on after he settled it.
He remained unbeaten at 103 in 62 balls, hitting four sixes and 12 fours. For MI, it was Kieron Pollard who picked up two wickets for 8 runs in 2 overs Bumrah had one scalp to his name at the cost of 31 runs in 4 overs.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to his feat:
