LSG sign former RCB star as KL Rahul's replacement for IPL 2023

 Lucknow Super Giants' campaign in the IPL 2023 suffered a huge blow on Friday as their skipper KL Rahul was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament owing to an injury he incurred in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. LSG later on the same day announced his replacement, a former RCB star, Karun Nair. It was revealed on Twitter with LSG sharing the veteran India star's viral "Dear cricket" tweet.

LSG on Friday revealed that "further tests and scans have unfortunately confirmed a significant tear to Rahul's tendon which will require surgery." The injury in fact saw him being ruled out of the World Test Championship final as well, which will take place next month at The Oval against Australia.

Later on the same day, they shared Nair's viral tweet from December to announce his name as Rahul's replacement for the season. Nair, India's second triple centurion in Test cricket, had tweeted: "Dear cricket, give me one more chance", after incurring a Ranji Trophy snub.

This will be Nair's 10th season in IPL where he scored 1496 runs in 76 appearances with 10 fifties for four franchises. After making a name for himself in domestic cricket during 2013, he was picked by the RCB franchise where he played two seasons before moving to Rajasthan Royals in 2014. He later represented Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in 2016 and 2017 before shifting base to the Punjab franchise. He had returned to Rajasthan in 2022, but made only three appearances to score just 16 runs before being released by the franchise.

LSG have roped in the India star for INR 50 lakhs.

LSG presently stand second in the points table with 11 points from five wins in 10 matches. They had shjared a point after their last game against Chennai Super Kings at home was abandoned due to rain. They will next play against defending champions and table toppers Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on May 7.

Pakistan crush New Zealand by 102 runs to become No. 1 ODI team

After a somewhat off-colour performance where Pakistan allowed New Zealand to get close to them, this was back to business for the hosts. A century from Babar Azam - his 18th in ODIs - helped Pakistan post an intimidating 334 for 6 after being put in to bat.

It was then up to the bowlers, who were at their ruthless best, to shut New Zealand out. The game as a contest was over well before the final wicket fell and New Zealand folded for 232, putting Pakistan up 4-0 in the five-match series and at the top of the ICC rankings for ODI teams in the process.

From the moment the chase began, it was apparent that keeping up with the asking rate would be a problem for New Zealand. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf were metronomically accurate and fearsomely fast in the powerplay, and Will Young and Tom Blundell are not natural aggressors. The two fell within two overs of each other after a sedate start.

Both were, to their credit, dismissed seeking boundaries their side desperately needed. Mohammad Wasim struck off his first ball, with Young spooning it high into the night sky for a straightforward catch, before Blundell failed to get elevation on a drive off Rauf, the ball heading straight to Iftikhar Ahmed in the covers.

The period of stagnation through the third-wicket stand that followed, between Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham, was probably what ultimately did New Zealand's chances. A total of 83 painstaking runs were scored at a rate under five, but the asking rate had climbed to around 8.50 by then. Usama Mir - who did his World Cup chances no harm with an excellent display deputising for Shadab Khan - drew Mitchell into a stroke that caused his downfall.

The stand between Latham and Mark Chapman, which followed, was New Zealand's brightest passage, as Chapman dispensed with all conservatism. The two put on 55 in 43 balls with Chapman taking the lead, smashing Iftikhar and Agha Salman out of the attack with 34 in three overs.

But the fast bowlers returned, and Afridi cleaned up Latham yet again for a well-made, if less than explosive, 76-ball 60. Chapman continued to flay the bowling, but a quicker one from Mir saw his stumps knocked back for a 33-ball 46. Thereafter, New Zealand's resistance melted away. Mir helped himself to a couple more wickets to register career-best figures of 4 for 43, and Pakistan secured a 102-run win.

Earlier, another Babar hundred helped Pakistan to a total that always looked well beyond New Zealand. Across an innings where he also became the quickest player to 5000 ODI runs, the batters - especially Babar and Salman - were in control for the most part on a flat pitch. However, New Zealand, spearheaded by Matt Henry, punctured Pakistan regularly enough to ensure the total wouldn't completely get out of hand. Some late Mohammad Haris and Afridi fireworks ensured that the platform P
