Ahmedabad: Gujarat Titans roar again in IPL. This time it was Lucknow Super Giants. Batting first, the reigning champions scored 227 runs in the allotted 20 overs. Only two wickets were lost. In reply, Lucknow managed to score only 171 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Gujarat won by 56 runs.
Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill’s opening partnership of 142 runs gave Gujarat a huge score. Saha made 81 runs off 43 balls and ignited the firework by making Gill a spectator. A brilliant innings with ten fours and four sixes. As Saha neared his half-century, Gill also started attacking. Gill’s innings was unbeaten with 94 runs off 51 balls, with only two fours and seven huge sixes.
Captain Hardik Pandya (25 off 15 balls) and David Miller (21 off 12 balls) stepped up their roles and Gujarat were half assured of victory.
But, on the other hand, Lucknow also got off to a rocky start. The injured captain K.L. With Quinton de Kock coming in place of Rahul, Kyle Meyers became the perfect partner. The duo added 88 runs in 8.2 overs. Meyers scored 48 runs off 32 balls. De Kock scored 77 runs off 41 balls. However, none of those who came later were able to build the innings from the foundation they got. Only Ayush Badoni, who scored 21 runs off 11 balls, put up a fight. Former Indian player Mohit Sharma, who conceded only 29 runs in four overs and took four wickets, shone in the bowling. Mohammad Shami, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed took a wicket each.
