Twitter Reactions: Kyle Mayers plays an absolute blinder as LSG get off to a flying start vs DC

Patel eventually got the better of him by bowling him over in the 12^th over but Lucknow had already gotten to 100 till then with Mayers scoring the bulk of those runs.

Lucknow will now face the uphill task of accommodating Mayers in the XI when South African opener Quinton de Kock joins the squad after rounding off his international commitments. The 30-year-old finished at the third spot in the run-scoring charts last year.

He finished the season at 508 runs in 15 matches and will be a definite starter in the XI to partner Rahul at the top. Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, and Mark Wood will most likely occupy the other three overseas spots and that doesn’t leave a space for Mayers on the side. Regardless, the Caribbean star has made a strong case for his inclusion in the team in case the think-tank looks to shake things up at any point in this campaign.
