Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Monday - proved to be a dramatic affair. Buoyed by some late hitting by David Miller (30 off 21), Rahul Tewatia (40 not out off 24) and Abhinav Manohar (15 off 7), Gujarat secured a thrilling 5-wicket win with two balls to go to start their campaign on a stellar note. Gujarat were in a spot of bother at 78/4 after 11. 5 overs, having lost captain Hardik Pandya as well as Matthew Wade and Shubman Gill as they chased 159 for victory. Miller and Tewatia, however, were equal to the task. Youngster Abhinav also got into the act with some lusty blows towards the end to put icing on Gujarat's cake.
