The LSG skipper has been having a decent season with the bat. But, his strike rate has been an issue. In the last game against Gujarat Titans (GT), KL Rahul scored 68 runs off 61 balls. But, his strike rate of 111.47 did not help LSG while chasing 136 runs. As of now, in seven matches, Rahul has scored 262 runs.

He has notched up two fifties. But, the overall strike rate has been 113.91. So, LSG fans will hope for a better-paced knock from the skipper against Sam Curran and his men. A big and well-paced knock is necessary from Rahul as it can give a solid platform to the following batters coming down the order.   

3. Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone's IPL Career and Stats

This batter is known for his power-hitting games. However, till now in IPL 2023, Liam Livingstone has failed to live up to his expectations. In two matches, he has scored only 12 runs so far. So, this upcoming clash against LSG can be a great opportunity for him to score a big run.

The batting-friendly pitch at Mohali can be helpful for him also. He even can help other batters in the middle order. However, the home fans will hope to see some sixes from the batter. However, he grabbed one wicket against MI. So, the stage at Mohali against PBKS might be the one where Liam Livingstone can finally unleash his full power.
