Hardik defeated Krunal in the battle of the Pandya brothers on Sunday as Indian Premier League table-toppers Gujarat Titans sealed a convincing 56-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants.
Gujarat Titans' juggernaut continued in the Indian Premier League as the defending champions crushed Lucknow Super Giants by 56 runs in Ahmedabad on Sunday to remain perched on the top of the table. This was their eighth win in 11 matches, taking their tally to 16 points and closer to the play-offs. Gujarat Titans, propelled to their highest-ever total of 227 for two courtesy a franchise record 142-run partnership between Shubman Gill (94 not out) and Wriddhiman Saha (81), came back strongly in the second half of LSG's chase to emerge winners in a comprehensive manner.
Rajasthan Royals had a forgettable night on Friday as they faced a big nine-wicket defeat in a low-scoring encounter against Gujarat Titans. Playing at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur, RR were bundled out for 118, after Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad took three and two wickets respectively. Later, GT chased down the target in just 13.5 over with nine wickets in hand. After their loss, RR players had to face the wrath of their head coach Kumar Sangakkara as he did not mince his words while criticising them.
Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya wrote their names in the historic books as the first set of brothers to captain opposing sides in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter as Gujarat Titans take on Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday.

However, the Hardik Pandya-led side will be missing out on the services of their pacer Joshua Little, who has been called back to Ireland for a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh.

Riyan shared a cryptic message in response to the recent criticism he has faced from the fans.
Ireland pacer Josh Little will miss defending champions Gujarat Titans' next few games as he has gone back home for national duty. The left-arm pacer has been named in Ireland's squad for the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series against Bangladesh, which starts on May 9. He flew back home after Gujarat's thumping nine-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals on Friday.
It will be a test of wits between the Pandya brothers -- Hardik and Krunal -- when defending champions Gujarat Titans clash with Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL in Ahmedabad on Sunday. While Hardik has captained the Indian team on multiple occasions and is leading GT for the second year, Krunal has led the Baroda team in domestic cricket and was elevated to the role of LSG captain in the absence of regular skipper KL Rahul. The two have become the first brothers to captain teams in the IPL. Under Hardik, GT are perched on top of the leader board with 14 points.
