Lucknow Super Giants suffered a 56-run defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Sunday, with questions being raised over the team's captain and coach. Chasing a mammoth target of 228 runs, the start LSG had was a decent one, with the team putting up 114 runs on the board for the lost of just one wicket in 12.1 overs. However, the pace of scoring runs went down quickly, with Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni all failing to put big runs on the board. After the match, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag minced no words as he questioned the LSG team management, including coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Krunal Pandya's decision-making over the batting order in the match.
