Prasidh Krishna Breaks the LSG Middle Order
Prasidh Krishna produced the match-defining spell.
He removed Aiden Markram, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran and Mukul Choudhary to finish with:
4 overs
28 runs
4 wickets
Economy: 7.00
His wickets arrived at precisely the stage when Lucknow were trying to turn a decent powerplay into a bigger total.
Markram fell for 30, and Badoni followed shortly afterwards.
Prasidh later removed Pooran and Mukul, ensuring Lucknow could not establish a strong finishing platform.
The four-wicket haul earned him the Player of the Match award.
Aiden Markram Top-Scores for Lucknow
Aiden Markram was LSG’s highest scorer with 30 from 21 balls.
He hit five fours and one six and was the only Lucknow batter to reach 30.
His dismissal at 69/3 became an important turning point because LSG’s middle order then struggled to maintain the early run rate.
Ayush Badoni made only nine, while Nicholas Pooran required 21 deliveries for his 19.
LSG Lose Momentum in the Middle Overs
Lucknow’s bigger problem was not the lack of starts. Several batters reached double figures.
The issue was converting those starts into a substantial innings.
After reaching 60/2 at the end of the powerplay, LSG lost wickets regularly:
Markram at 69
Badoni at 74
Pooran at 109
Samad at 118
Mukul Choudhary at 131
With no batter able to stay long enough to dominate the middle overs, Gujarat kept the innings under control.
Late Runs Push LSG to 164
Lucknow were in danger of finishing below 150, but the lower order found some valuable late runs.
George Linde scored 16 from 10 balls.
Mohammed Shami then struck an unbeaten 12 from five deliveries, including a four and a six.
Avesh Khan added a boundary from the only ball he faced.
Those late contributions helped Lucknow reach 164/8, giving their bowlers something to defend.
Gujarat Titans Bowling Figures
Bowler | Overs | Runs | Wickets |
|---|---|---|---|
Mohammed Siraj | 4 | 19 | 1 |
Kagiso Rabada | 4 | 54 | 1 |
Ashok Sharma | 4 | 32 | 2 |
Prasidh Krishna | 4 | 28 | 4 |
Rashid Khan | 4 | 25 | 0 |
Siraj was particularly economical, conceding only 19 runs from four overs.
Ashok Sharma also made a useful contribution with 2/32, while Rabada took the early wicket of Mitchell Marsh.
Gujarat Titans Chase 165
Gujarat required 165 for victory.
Sai Sudharsan started with three boundaries in his 15, but Digvesh Singh Rathi removed him before the end of the sixth over.
That brought Jos Buttler together with Shubman Gill.
The pair then produced the partnership that effectively settled the match.
Gill and Buttler Add 84 Runs
Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler added 84 runs for the second wicket.
Buttler was the more aggressive batter, finding boundaries regularly, while Gill played the anchor role.
Their contrasting styles worked perfectly.
By the time Gill was dismissed in the 15th over, Gujarat had already reached 129.
The required rate was under complete control.
Jos Buttler Scores 60
Jos Buttler top-scored for Gujarat with 60 from 37 balls.
His innings included 11 fours.
He did not hit a six, but his ability to find boundaries around the ground kept the scoreboard moving quickly.
Mohammed Shami eventually dismissed Buttler with Gujarat on 135/3.
By then, however, the chase was firmly in GT’s hands.
Shubman Gill Adds a Calm 56
Captain Shubman Gill scored 56 from 40 balls.
His innings included six fours and one six.
Gill allowed Buttler to attack more freely while ensuring Gujarat did not lose wickets in clusters.
Prince Yadav dismissed Gill for 56, but his contribution had already put GT in a winning position.

Washington Sundar | 21* | 13 | 2 | 1 |
Rahul Tewatia | 10* | 8 | 1 | 0 |
Total: 165/3 in 18.4 overs
Washington Sundar Finishes the Chase
Gill and Buttler were both dismissed before the finish, but Gujarat never allowed the game to become uncomfortable.
Washington Sundar scored an unbeaten 21 from 13 balls, while Rahul Tewatia added 10 not out.
Sundar hit two fours and one six and ensured there was no late collapse.
GT crossed the target with eight balls remaining.
Lucknow Bowling Figures
Bowler | Overs | Runs | Wickets |
|---|---|---|---|
Mohammed Shami | 4 | 36 | 1 |
Prince Yadav | 4 | 31 | 1 |
Digvesh Singh Rathi | 4 | 31 | 1 |
George Linde | 3 | 28 | 0 |
Avesh Khan | 2 | 24 | 0 |
Aiden Markram | 1.4 | 15 | 0 |
Lucknow’s three wickets were shared between Shami, Prince Yadav and Digvesh Singh Rathi.
But none of them could remove both Gill and Buttler early enough to change the chase.
Why Gujarat Titans Won
Gujarat’s victory was built around three areas.
1. Prasidh Krishna’s Middle-Overs Spell
His four wickets prevented Lucknow from building a large total.
2. Gill and Buttler’s Partnership
Their 84-run stand turned a potentially competitive chase into a controlled one.
3. Gujarat Kept Wickets in Hand
GT lost only three wickets, leaving Sundar and Tewatia with a straightforward finishing job.

What the Result Meant for Gujarat
At the time of the match, Gujarat moved upward in the IPL 2026 standings with their third win of the season.
Their bowling attack had delivered a disciplined performance before the top order completed a professional chase.
The result also showed the value of Gujarat’s batting structure: even after losing Sudharsan, they still had Gill and Buttler capable of controlling the target without needing a high-risk approach.
What Went Wrong for Lucknow?
Lucknow had several starts but no defining innings.
Markram’s 30 was the highest score, and none of their frontline batters reached a half-century.
Their innings therefore depended on several small contributions rather than one batter controlling the game.
Against a Gujarat batting lineup containing Gill and Buttler, 164 proved insufficient.
