IPL 2022, KKR vs LSG Stats and Records Preview: Shreyas Iyer, Andre Russell, De Kock eye big milestones

Mumbai, May 17: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday (May 18) in an IPL 2022 match that will have a massive bearing on their dream to enter the playoffs.

A win will certainly fire the LSG under KL Rahul to the playoffs while a defeat will not immediately hurt them but it can push them into a tighter space and jostling with other teams.

On the other hand, the KKR will end their IPL 2022 journey if they get defeated and even a win will not guarantee them a place in the playoffs as NRR calculations will come into force.

Those team calculations aside, a few players will be eager to achieve some personal milestones in this match.
