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.

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.
