Gujarat Titans defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets to secure their second consecutive win in the Indian Premier League 2026. Rishabh Pant, who was confident of posting a big total after losing the toss, was once again found wanting as a batter and captain. On the other hand, GT skipper Shubman Gill led from the front as his franchise completed the chase of 165 in 18 overs, with the star batter amassing 56 runs off 40 balls, including 6 fours and 1 six.

Jos Buttler, who returned to form in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals, was once again among the runs. Former England captain was magnificent, accumulating 60 runs off 37 balls, with the help of 11 boundaries.

Washington Sundar (21* off 13) and Rahul Tewatia (10* off 8) were in the middle when Gujarat completed the task in 18.4 overs.

For Lucknow, Mohammed Shami, Digvesh Rathi and Prince Yadav picked up one wicket each.

Earlier, all the Lucknow batters struggled to time the ball, with Aiden Markram being the top run getter for the side. He posted 30 runs off 21 balls, with the help of 5 fours and 1 six. Australia T20I captain Mitchell Marsh recorded another failure, managing just 11 runs.

Pant took 11 balls to reach 18, but Mohammed Siraj sent him back as the batting unit continued to crumble at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Ayush Badoni (9), Nicholas Pooran (19), Abdul Samad (18), Mukul Choudhary (16) and George Linde (16) disappointed with the bat. It was Shami’s little cameo that took the score to 164/8. He hit 1 six and a four to amass 12 not out in 5 balls.

For Titans, the last season’s Purple Cap winner, Prasidh Krishna, was the pick of the bowlers, taking four wickets and conceding just 28 runs. Siraj gave away just 19 runs from his four overs. Although Kagiso Rabada was expensive (54 runs), he claimed two scalps. Ashok Sharma also managed to dismiss two batters.

With their win, GT have four points from four games. LSG also have four points from 4 contests in the 19th season of the tournament.
