After Shubman Gill's fine half-century, a solid bowling performance helped Gujarat Titans dominate Lucknow Super Giants and become the first team to qualify for the playoffs.
Chasing what seemed like a below-par score of 145, the Super Giants lost three wickets inside the powerplay, including that of Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul, and debutant Karan Sharma. The Titans bowlers, especially Mohammad Shami, weren't giving anything away to the batters as Lucknow finished the first six overs at the score of 3/37.
The wickets kept falling as Rashid Khan and debutant Sai Kishore found assistance from the pitch. The spin duo wreaked havoc in LSG's middle order and completely pushed them out of the game. Apart from Deepak Hooda, none of the batters looked comfortable while batting, and the lack of support too got the better of him as he got out on 27.
