Shubman Gill returned without opening the account, Saha got the support of captain Hardik Pandya
After winning the toss in this match, the Gujarat Titans team, which came out to bat first, got a very poor start. Shubman Gill, who is running in excellent form so far, could not even open his account in this match. In the second over of the innings, in an attempt to play a big shot off Krunal Pandya, Gill handed over his catch to Ravi Bishnoi. The Gujarat team got the first blow on the score of 4 in this match.
After the dismissal of Shubman Gill, captain Hardik Pandya came out to bat to support Wriddhiman Saha on the field. After this, he along with Saha did not allow the team to suffer any more setbacks in the first 6 overs and took the score to 40 runs.
As soon as Wriddhiman Saha was dismissed, Lucknow bowlers put brakes on Gujarat’s run rate.
It was clearly difficult for the Gujarat batsmen to score fast runs on this slow pitch of the Lucknow stadium. After this, the Lucknow team gave another blow to Gujarat on the score of 72 in the form of Wriddhiman Saha, who returned to the pavilion after playing an inning of 47 runs in 37 balls with the help of 6 fours. After this, on the score of 77, Gujarat’s third blow came in the form of Abhinav Manohar, who returned to the pavilion after scoring only 3 runs.
Vijay Shankar, who came on the field to support captain Hardik Pandya, also could not do much in this match and returned to the pavilion after playing a short inning of 10 runs in 12 balls. After the end of 16 overs, the Gujarat team could only manage to reach a score of 97 at the loss of 4 wickets.
In the last 4 overs, Hardik scored runs at a fast pace and reached the score of 130.
