POTM YASH THAKUR SAID:

"Happy with this five-wicket haul and Man of the Match. I had planned against Gill, I stuck to my plan, KL Rahul had advised me to do so and it paid off. Unfortunately Mayank Yadav got injured, so KL said it was my day and asked me to make the most of it. We are winning the first game against GT in IPL history, very happy with it. Really enjoyed Gill's wicket, the most memorable of all," Thakur said.

WINNING SKIPPER KL RAHUL SAID:

"We'll take the win, I am not going to make too much out of it. For the young bowling unit we have, it helps when we bat first. They get an idea how the wicket is playing and they've also been adapting really well. It's a good record to have (defending all 160+ totals), but it's also where we've played. Having the home advantage helps. The bowlers have come through the ranks over the last couple of years. you have seen the same guys bowling in the last season as well., They have adjusted to their roles. Hopefully we can continue this. We knew that it wasn't as good as the wicket we played on (in the previous match here), also losing two wickets in the powerplay will set us back a bit. Unless someone carries on to get 70-80, it was tough to achieve that 170-180. We just wanted to bat and see how much we can get. That's the advantage you have when you are batting first. All three spinners have been key for us. Sid coming in this season has done really well, he plays a crucial part with the new ball, he's shown great temperament. His job is to restrict the batters. KP is very experienced, he's played IPL for so many seasons. Bishnoi has been around for so many years and keeps getting better. Feels good to get off the mark there (first win vs GT)," Rahul said.

Losing skipper Shubman Gill said:

"It was a good wicket to bat on, a poor batting performance by us. We got a decent start, but we lost wickets in the middle and couldn't recover from that. Our bowlers were exceptional as they restricted them to 160-odd, just that our batters let us down. (On missing David Miller) Miller is a kind of a player who can change a game in a couple of overs, because I think this total was very gettable for us. (On his dismissal) I thought it was the last over of the powerplay and I just wanted to make the most of it, just that I missed that ball as I tried to play a bit too square. It was tremendous to watch our bowlers bowl, we were looking forward to restricting them around 160-165," Gill said.

The two relatively young teams who joined the Indian Premier League pantheon in 2022 will clash against each other on April 7. The tussle at the Ekana Cricket Stadium between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in Lucknow is an affair to watch out for. While LSG are at the fourth spot in the points table, GT are reeling at the seventh spot. Both sides have young players ruling the roster and they have been their trump cards in major victories equally. 

LSG started their IPL 2024 with a loss against Rajasthan Royal, but picked up in subsequent games against Punjab Kings in Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Their top order looks solid and has come to the party at the right time. KL Rahul has not converted his starts into a big score, though Nicholas Pooran has looked deadly in his little cameos. The bowling attack has the right balance in pacers and spinners. Mayank Yadav has dominated IPL headlines and they are riding high on two consecutive wins.

The Titans, on the other hand, emerged victorious against their newfound rivals Mumbai Indians before they succumbed to defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their next game. Though they managed to beat the formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets, a three-wicket loss against PBKS has dented their run. Their batting has been decent and Mohit Sharma emerges as their standout bowler. Rashid Khan should find ways to get back among wickets and Vijay Shankar has been on a switch-off mode in the middle-order. 

Probable Playing XI:

Lucknow Super Giants: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c/wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mayank Yadav.

Gujarat Titans: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Kane Williamson, Vijay Shankar, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma.
