Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain and opener KL Rahul earned a golden duck in their encounter against Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Sunday as his team lost the match by 3 runs only.

Starting the defense of 165 runs, RR pacer Trent Boult came around the wicket and clean bowled KL Rahul with an in-swinger and castled him. This was the second time Rahul got out on the first ball in this IPL 2022, making him only the third batter to achieve the distinction of getting two golden ducks in one IPL season.

The other two batters were Sanath Jayasuriya of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2009 and Unmukt Chand for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2013.

While speaking to the broadcasters after the match, LSG captain KL Rahul shared that Boult bowled a good ball. He said: “I didn't see it (the ball that got him from Boult), if I did I could have done something about it. Have to give it to him. Was a good ball.”
