Skipper KL Rahul managed to snatch defeat from jaws of victory with a baffling batting approach as defending champions Gujarat Titans beat Lucknow Super Giants by seven runs in a low-scoring IPL thriller, in Lucknow on Saturday.

After defeating Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs, Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Gujarat Titans in their upcoming IPL 2023 match on Saturday, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. The KL Rahul-led side introduced Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul Haq into the attack and the debutant impressed everyone with the figures of 0/19 in 4 overs.

Undoubtedly one of the most fearsome batters in the shortest format, Sanju Samson has won over the hearts of many fans through his heroics with the bat over the years. However, the aspect of his game that doesn't get talked about much is wicket-keeping.

The effort saw him draw plenty of plaudits from fans.
Following his side's 10-run win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul said that though his side fell 10 runs short with the bat, their bowling made up for it and no dew made the match fair for both the teams.

Chasing 155, RR were stopped at 144 for six as their return to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium after four years ended in disappointment, despite a creditable outing with the ball earlier in the evening. RR openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal knew that playing strokes wouldn't be easy on this track, but they managed to keep pace with the required run rate.
