IPL 2026: Resurgent Lucknow Super Giants looks for a win at home against Gujarat Titans

Earlier, Arshdeep Singh’s 10-ball second over went for 24 runs, as Abhishek punished anything in his arc with elan.

Part-time bowler Shashank Singh proved to be the unlikely circuit-breaker after the 105-run PowerPlay.

The gentle medium-pacer repaid the faith shown by Shreyas by having Travis Head (38, 23b, 5×4, 1×6) and Abhishek caught in the deep.

After being 120 for no loss in eight overs, the SRH innings decelerated.

Arshdeep’s 14th over saw two contrasting fielding efforts. While Marcus Stoinis dropped Heinrich Klaasen at long-off, Marco Jansen ran to his right and plucked the ball out of thin air with his outstretched right hand to send back Ishan Kishan.

The nonchalance of the whole exercise saw Arshdeep cover his mouth and sit down in disbelief, though the crowd’s reaction was to stand up and applaud.

Later, Klaasen tossed his bat in the air out of frustration after his scratchy innings (39, 33b, 1×4, 1×6). Perhaps he knew that his knock would come back to haunt his team.

The PBKS willow-wielders made sure of it.

IPL 2026: Lucknow Super Giants announces George Linde as replacement for Wanindu Hasaranga

Since then, not much has changed in terms of personnel in the Sunrisers batting line-up. In fact, it has only added more firepower with the acquisition of Liam Livingstone.

It is this reputation that keeps Sunrisers alive in any contest.

Abhishek’s whirlwind knock is still fresh in PBKS batter Shashank Singh’s mind. On the learnings from that game, Shashank said, “Abhishek’s innings that day in Hyderabad was one of the best I’ve ever seen in the IPL. We look at videos to see what lengths we could’ve bowled, but not in a way where we stress on the result. There is no hard-and-fast rule that this is how we analyse a match, but we do take learnings from every game.”

This is where PBKS will rely on skipper Shreyas Iyer’s experience.

The 31-year-old will do well to guide the young PBKS willow-wielders on the approach needed against the batting-heavy Sunrisers.

Another factor is dew being out of the equation in this afternoon fixture, which should empower SRH pacers Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel to use their biggest weapons — cutters and change of pace — more effectively.

Past results suggest that SRH holds the edge over PBKS (a 17-7 win-loss record).

The question remains: will history trump recent form?
