A below par target of 165 was chased with ease as skipper Shubman Gill scored an elegant 56 and Jos Buttler, who made his 100th T20 fifty, an aggressive 60. The duo added 84 runs for the second wicket to set up the emphatic win.
The ease at which Titans scored was in stark contrast to the nurdling pace of the Super Giants’ innings. Sai Sudharsan teed off with two boundaries off Mohammed Shami’s first over and Gill (56, 40b, 6×4, 1×6) found his touch in Shami’s third over when he hit the pacer for 20 runs, clubbing three fours and a six.
Digvesh Rathi dismissed Sai against the run of play but it only brought in more trouble in the form of Buttler (60, 37b, 11×4).
George Linde couldn’t make an impact with the ball on his debut, and he was picked for boundaries with ease by both Gilll and Buttler. Rathi bowled with some control but Avesh Khan was erratic. Gill and Buttler were dismissed in quick succession but Washington Sundar and Raul Tewatia hastened the win with a string of big hits.
Earlier, Lucknow’s batting never took off on a slow surface and against some crafty bowling. The Super Giants started as a train then hitched a ride on a dilapidated service bus and finished on a revived Airbus A380.
Sixty runs came in the Powerplay, another 60 in the middle overs and 44 off the final three. There were cameos at the top and at the end but none of the batters made fifty and a total of 164 for eight was far from threatening.
The Super Giants lost momentum from a promising position of 69 for two. Wickets fell at regular intervals during the middle overs. Prasidh Krishna (four for 28) took the pace off the ball to pick up wickets while Rashid Khan choked the flow of runs. Mukul Choudhary, Linde (who was the Impact Player) and Shami made useful runs as Titans finished with a flourish but the total proved to be inadequate in the end.

#IPL #Resurgent #Lucknow #Super #Giants #win #home #Gujarat #Titans">IPL 2026: Resurgent Lucknow Super Giants looks for a win at home against Gujarat Titans
It was a week of resurrection for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL during the Easter season. The Super Giants registered back-to-back comeback wins after beginning its campaign with a loss to Delhi Capitals at home.
After winning two away matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Koltaka Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants hosts Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday and will look to extend its newfound resurgence.
However, the Ekana is far from a fortress for LSG, which won only two home matches last season. LSG will look to flip the script this time around.
LSG’s explosive batting lineup is yet to fire at full throttle. Openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram haven’t been able to convert their starts while Nicholas Pooran is still searching for a big score this season.
It was individual brilliance of Rishabh Pant and rookie Mukul Choudhary that saw LSG pull off wins in the previous two matches.

Skipper Pant will look for a collective effort from his side against Gujarat Titans. The in-form Mohammed Shami also needs a little more support. Prince Yadav has oscillated between brilliance and mediocrity. The spinners, Digvesh Rathi and M. Siddharth, have bowled with control in the middle overs and will relish the slow surface at the venue.
The Titans, too, are searching for consistency and come to this match on the back of a thrilling win against Delhi Capitals. They have raked up 200 plus scores in previous two matches. The Titans possess batting firepower to dismantle any bowling attack and it remains its strength. However, Titans’ bowling has been erratic. Rashid Khan’s return to form augurs well for Titans and he will hold the key in the match between two resurgent sides.
