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.
