GT beat LSG in match number 19 of the Indian Premier League
GT secured a 7-wicket victory chasing 165
Prasidh Krishna won the player of the match award
Gujarat Titans (GT) secured a convincing seven-wicket victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 12, Sunday, chasing down a target of 165 with eight balls to spare. The win was set up by a clinical bowling performance from Prasidh Krishna and anchored by composed half-centuries from Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill.
After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Titans’ decision was immediately vindicated by Prasidh Krishna. The pacer delivered a fiery spell, dismantling the LSG middle order to finish with figures of 4/28, earning him the Purple Cap.
LSG struggled for rhythm throughout their innings; although Aiden Markram provided a spark with a brisk 30 off 21 balls, the home side lacked a significant individual score. Contributions from Nicholas Pooran (19) and Mukul Choudhary (18) were not enough to push the total beyond a modest 164/8.
In response, the Titans’ chase was marked by a dominant second-wicket stand. Following the early departure of Sai Sudharsan (15), Jos Buttler and captain Shubman Gill took the game away from the hosts.
Buttler was particularly aggressive, smashing 60 off 37 balls, including a hat-trick of boundaries against Avesh Khan. Gill played the anchor role to perfection, scoring a steady 56 off 40 deliveries.
LSG found a glimmer of hope when both set batters fell in quick succession. Gill caught behind off Prince Yadav and Buttler dismissed by Mohammed Shami. But the equation was already heavily in the Titans' favor. Washington Sundar (21) and Rahul Tewatia (10) stayed unbeaten ensured there were no late dramas, finding the gaps with ease to seal the result in the 19th over.
The victory propels the Gujarat Titans to fifth in the standings, while the Super Giants remain sixth.
