IPL 2022: 5 Reasons why LSG can win the trophy this season

4) Depth in batting

The LSG team has a good depth in their batting department, with the players having proficiency with the bat until the number 10 position. If the top-order batters like Rahul and De Kock fail to provide a contribution, the team can bring in Jason Holder due to his pressure handling capability.

In the case of a good start, they have two options in the form of Stoinis and Deepak Hooda, who have proven ball-striking abilities. In the last game against RR, the bowlers like Dushmantha Chameera and Avesh Khan provided a glimpse of their skills with the bat by hitting two boundaries and a single six respectively.

Out of their three wins, two have been won by chasing down the score, and on these occasions, the team got off to a good start and the middle order aced the crunch moments. Though the team lost against RR by a close call, Stoinis’ contribution at number eight (38* off 17 ) remained significant.
