Lucknow's skipper KL Rahul has been the most impressive as he has scored 451 runs from 10 matches and his opening partner Quinton de Kock has been supporting him quite effectively. However, apart from Deepak Hooda, the middle order has failed to make an impact in the last few matches. Since the introduction of Mohsin Khan, the bowling unit has only become sharper. Debutant Lucknow has won 7 out of 10 matches and are placed at the top half on the points table.
