Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 54 of the IPL 2024 on Sunday, May 5, 2024, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

The Lucknow Super Giants have won six matches and lost four so far. They are currently third in the points table; thus, the Super Giants would like to continue their winning spree. LSG won their last game against Mumbai Indians at the same ground.

Kolkata Knight Riders are placed second on the points table and are confident of ending the season as 1 or 2, closely fighting against Rajasthan Royals. KKR also defeated MI in the last game, defending a small total of 170 at a Wankhede wicket.

LSG will be led by KL Rahul, while KKR will be led by Shreyas Iyer. Both the Indian captains have been receiving accolades for their tremendous captaincy, and both teams are expected to qualify.

LSG would like to take revenge against KKR in this match as they were defeated in a one-sided encounter when both the teams last met at Eden Gardens.

Here are some records that could be broken in the match:

1. Hooda Eyes 1500 IPL Runs

Deepak Hooda has been playing IPL for a long time, having represented different franchises, but he never got a definite role to play which LSG gave him this season. Deepak Hooda (1449) needs another fifty-one runs to reach 1500 runs in IPL.

2. Starc all set to take 50 IPL Wickets

Mitchell Starc, who had been missing IPL for 9 years, has finally turned up for KKR, and the last match showed his worth. Mitchell Starc is 5 wickets away from taking 50 wickets in IPL.

3. Russell to Hit 2500 IPL Runs

Andre Russell has been a pillar for KKR, and KKR management has always backed him irrespective of his form. He is finally justifying his place this year. Andre Russell (2448) needs another fifty-two runs to reach 2500 runs in IPL.

It’s the Battle of 2 vs 3, and despite it being Ekana, fireworks are expected as LSG would not like to leave behind with a loss here.
