Lucknow Super Giants secured a thrilling 33-run victory over the Gujarat Titans on Sunday, fueled by a sensational five-wicket performance from Indian seamer Yash Thakur. The 25-year-old, who awaits his international debut, dismantled the Gujarat batting lineup, finishing with figures of 5-30 and sealing Lucknow’s first-ever win against the Titans in five attempts.
Batting first, Lucknow posted a seemingly modest 163 for 5, anchored by Marcus Stoinis’s 58. However, Lucknow’s bowlers delivered a masterclass in defending a below-par total. Krunal Pandya’s economical spell of three wickets proved crucial in restricting Gujarat to just 130.
This third win in four matches propels Lucknow into the top three of the points table, while Gujarat remains on four points.
