On Monday (April 10), cricket fans witnessed an exciting match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants. After setting a huge target of 213 runs, the hosts ended up on the losing side. Despite winning a thrilling last-ball match, KL Rahul failed to impress critics and was scrutinised for his slow innings.
The LSG captain scored 18 runs off 20 balls before being dismissed by Mohammed Siraj in the game's 12th over. Now, former cricketer Dodda Ganesh slammed him for his slow and boring innings, calling it the "most hideous innings."
Former India bowling all-rounder thrashed the young cricketer for his knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore, tweeting, This innings from KL Rahul has to be the most hideous innings played in the history of IPL ever considering the context of the game. Man. What’s in his mind? Seriously. This can’t happen for so long at this level. It’s not school cricket."
Here is the tweet

Rahul, who has been out of form recently, has a strike rate of 100 after his knocks in the first four games of the tournament. He began the season by scoring 8 runs off 12 balls against the Delhi Capitals, followed by 20 runs off 18 balls against the Chennai Super Kings. He scored 35 runs off 31 balls in his innings against SunRisers Hyderabad.
RCB scored 212 runs while batting first in this match. In response, LSG lost three wickets before reaching 30 runs. Later, however, some of the middle-order batters played so well that they won the match with one wicket remaining on the final ball.
Despite having lost 9 wickets while chasing the big target, LSG only needed 1 run on the last ball. Then, on the final ball, Harshal Patel beat Avesh Khan, who was batting. However, Ravi Bishnoi, who was on the other end, rushed to take the single.
