LSG vs GT Highlights, IPL 2026: Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler fifties guide GT to comfortable win

LSG vs GT Highlights, IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans produced a clinical all-round performance to defeat Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets in a well-controlled IPL 2026 encounter in Lucknow. The victory was built on a disciplined bowling effort led by Prasidh Krishna, who delivered a match-winning spell of 4 for 24, dismantling LSG’s middle order and preventing them from building any sustained momentum.Put into bat, LSG reached 164 for 8 in 20 overs, but their innings lacked consistency despite a bright start from Aiden Markram, who made 30 off 21 balls with five boundaries and a six. Mitchell Marsh began aggressively but fell for 11, while Rishabh Pant struggled for fluency before being dismissed for 18. Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran and Abdul Samad all failed to convert starts, with Pooran managing only 19 off 21 despite striking two sixes off Rashid Khan. Mukul Choudhary and George Linde provided brief resistance late in the innings, but regular wickets ensured LSG remained below par.In reply, GT lost Sai Sudharsan early for 15, but skipper Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler took control of the chase with a commanding partnership. The pair added 85 runs off 58 balls, combining elegance with power to take the game away from LSG. Gill scored 56 off 40 balls, while Buttler struck a dominant 60, making full use of a dropped chance early in his innings.Although both set batters were dismissed in quick succession, Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia calmly guided GT home at 165 for 3 in 18.4 overs, sealing a comfortable win with eight balls remaining. The victory underlined GT’s depth and balance, with both their bowling and top order clicking in unison.
