IPL 2026 – LSG vs GT – Gujarat Titans bowl to Lucknow Super Giants, both teams unchanged

Throw Gujarat Titans chose to bowl vs Lucknow Super Giants

Titans beat Delhi Capitals in a last-ball thriller, while LSG overcame Kolkata Knight Riders on the back of an unreal half-century from rookie Mukul Choudhary. The win gave the Titans their first win in three games, and Gill hoped the team could build on that. “Consistency is one thing we always talk about,” he said. “That’s the main thing. In the first two games, the kind of situations we were in, it went down to the wire. Two points in the previous game gives us a bit of relief. Hope to play better cricket.”

Pant was not fussed about setting a target. He felt with the way pitches are, “batting or bowling first won’t matter.” He was particularly pleased with the character LSG showed in bouncing back to win two straight after starting the season with a loss against Delhi Capitals “For us it’s incredible, every win is important. When you win like that, it shows the character of the team,” he said. “It’s a big boost coming in after a win, but this is a new game. Wickets and conditions might be different. We talked about intent on the field, it was great to see us put our bodies on the line (in Kolkata).”
