Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will play against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 30th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday, April 22. KL Rahul’s team will come into the match on the back of a morale-boosting victory against table toppers and pre-tournament favourites Rajasthan Royals in their previous game as well. Meanwhile, their opponents, Gujarat Titans, faced a disappointing defeat against Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals at their home ground in their last game as well. However, the Gujarat captain will be happy with the fact that they are unbeaten against their upcoming opponents as well.
After their last win, KL Rahul said: ” In the 10 over mark, the message me and Kyle sent out was 160 would be a good total on this track, they have some good bowlers as well who exploited the conditions. We fell 10 short but made up with the ball. And there was no dew so made it fair for both teams. We game in here yesterday and saw 180 would be a par score, but the first over from Boult, me and Kyle had a chat and realised this isn’t a 180 wicket. The ball was keeping a bit low, so we gave ourselves time in the powerplay. Maybe if we played a bit better, we might have got 170 as well. We know with Rajasthan their strength is their top four, so we needed to have our plans in place to get them out.”
