IPL 2023 Kyle Mayer or Deepak Hooda Who will open with KL Rahul in absence of Quinton de Kock

IPL 2023, Lucknow Super Giants: There are a few days left for the start of the Indian Premier League 2023 season. It is a matter of happiness for the Lucknow Super Giants team that its opener Quinton Dickock has scored a stormy century in the T20 match against the West Indies. Due to Dickock’s blistering century, Aiden Markram’s team was able to achieve the biggest target in T20 history. Dickock has regained his form before the start of IPL 2023. But this batsman will not be available for the team in some initial matches of IPL. Because South Africa has announced its full strength team for the ODI series against Netherlands. In which the name of Quinton Dickock is also included. If South Africa has to qualify directly in the ODI World Cup, then it will have to win two matches against the Netherlands.

Who will do the opening?

It is believed that the team of Lucknow Super Giants will play 2 matches in IPL 2023 without Quinton Dickock. His absence has become a matter of discussion as to who will open with KL Rahul? It is being said that Deepak Hooda and Kyle Mayers can open with captain KL Rahul. If the Lucknow team gives importance to the left and right hand combination in the opening, then Kyle Meyers is sure to open. Meyers is in tremendous form these days and he recently scored an innings of 51 off 27 balls against South Africa. At the same time, Hooda has also scored a century in T20 International last year.

Dickock will join after April 3

Lucknow Super Giants opener Quitton will join the team only after 3rd April. In such a situation, he can miss at least 2 matches. Apart from him, the team’s pacer Mohsin Khan will miss a major part of IPL 2023 due to a shoulder injury. In the absence of Dickock, KL Rahul or Nicholas Pooran will be seen doing wicketkeeping. Lucknow Super Giants bought Pooran for Rs 16 crore in the mini auction of IPL last year.
