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.
Asked to chase a massive total of 228 by Gujarat Titans, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) were quick to get out of the blocks in match 51 of IPL 2023 on Sunday. With captain KL Rahul out of the tournament due to an injury, Quinton de Kock, playing his first game of the season, opened the batting alonside the in-form Kyle Mayers. De Kock and Mayers took the attack to the GT bowlers, and added 88 runs for the first wicket in 8.2 overs. While LSG seemed to be in control of the proceedings, Rashid Khan's stunning catch to dismiss Mayers haulted their progress.
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. While Hardik guided GT to the IPL title in their debut season last year, Krunal has taken over the LSG captaincy in the absence of KL Rahul. While the brothers have faced each other as opponents earlier, this is the first time that they will face off as captains.
Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Gujarat Titans in their next IPL 2023 match on Sunday, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. LSG will be coming to this clash after sharing points with Chennai Super Kings in their previous match due to rain. They are currently standing at the third place on the points table with a total of five wins out of 10 matches. Apart from this, LSG are also dealing with the blow as their skipper KL Rahul has been ruled out due to a leg injury. In his absence, all-rounder Krunal Pandya will be leading the team. It will be interesting to see that whether his absence will pave way for South Africa star Quinton de Kock.
Proteas fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has been named in the Titans squad for the 2023-24 domestic season.
Lucknow Super Giants will be looking to bounce back from their loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore and the subsequent controversies when they take on Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Wednesday. However, their problems are far from over as skipper KL Rahul may miss out due to injury that he sustained in the previous game. Rahul had to leave the field in pain and although he came out to bat, he found it almost impossible to run between the wickets.
Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next IPL 2023 match on Monday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The KL Rahul-led side will be coming to this clash after a thumping win over Punjab Kings, where they posted a huge total of 257 in 20 overs and won the match by 56 runs. In their previous meeting against RCB, LSG won the match by 1 wicket in a last-ball thriller. As their star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis picked up a minor injury during the fixture against PBKS, there are chances that he might be rested against RCB.
