Cricket lovers will be well aware that KL Rahul has been running in excellent form since IPL 2018, and has been performing brilliantly. It is worth noting that KL Rahul had already informed his previous team ‘Punjab Kings’ about this that he would like to change. This was the reason why the team management released him.

Stoinis and Ravi Bishnoi entered the Lucknow team
For Marcus Stoinis, ‘Lucknow Team IPL T20 2022’ will be the fourth franchise in his IPL career. He made his IPL debut with ‘Delhi Daredevils’ (now Delhi Capitals DC) in IPL 2015. In that debut, he was signed for 4.8 crores. He has scored 441 runs at a strike rate of 142.71 and has also picked up 15 wickets in 27 matches played so far in IPL.
It is worth noting that in the ‘ICC U-19 World Cup, 2020’ tournament played in South Africa, Ravi Bishnoi left a lot of impact with his brilliant performance. Also, it is worth noting that Ravi Bishnoi was one of the most sought after uncapped players before IPL 2022.
Remind you that in the 2020 auction, Mumbai Indians MI bought Ravi Bishnoi for Rs 2 crore. After that Ravi became the main spinner of ‘Punjab Kings’. He took 12 wickets in 9 matches played in the last season, IPL 2021.
