LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS VS GUJARAT TITANS | FULL MATCH |

For the first time we had two brothers leading their respective sides in the IPL and though Hardik said he won't be bragging, he and his team walk away with a massive win. They consolidate their position at the top and look on course to being the first team to seal a playoff spot. LSG are three games without a win now but are still in the top four, games are coming thick and fast and they need a win to keep up with their position. That's all from this game. The RR v SRH game has already started with Jaiswal and Buttler off to a flying start. Switch tabs and catch all the action. See you..
We had a great time with our fantasy experts picking Gill as the Captain/ V captain choice for this game. They also suggest Mohit Sharma and he made a huge difference by picking a 4-fer. Did you have them in your fantasy teams? For such insightful picks, keep a track of our Fantasy Handbook.

GT have now won each of their four matches against LSG.
Shubman Gill | Player of the Match: They were going well in the powerplay but our bowlers bowled well especially Mohit bhai. They restrict their batting lineup to under 180 which was a great effort. Just to be able to share his (Saha) experience, I stand next to him at slip, it is phenomenal with the way he keeps going, he's been playing since the first IPL season. I didn't get much to bat in the first few overs but it is important to not get carried away with what your partner is doing. I had not hit sixes in the last two matches and today I struck a few, I always keep working on my skills.
Hardik Pandya | GT captain: I can't ask anything more from the boys. The way the game changed after that (Rashid's catch), at one point I thought the game was even stevens and that catch was match-changing. We were both driving at 100kph as a team but that catch caused a bump in their chase. I don't think so, my love towards him (Krunal) is very strong, I won't be bragging. It would have been nice if it was a little tighter and we had won, he could have also had some bragging rights.
Mohit Sharma: We talk a lot to each other. What to do when the ball is old and when it is new. It was a day wicket, so the wicket was expected to get slower and that's what I spoke with Shami. I have practised the knuckle-ball but there is an injury on one of my fingers, so not using that. We tried to keep the slower ball out of the reach of the batter. We speak a lot to Ashu bhai [Ashish Nehra] - especially what to bowl to which batter. Length balls are necessary as well, it is not all about the slower ones.
Krunal Pandya | LSG captain: We gave too many runs in the first innings. When it's 227, you have to go hard every over. The surface played really well. The batters said it was a good wicket to bat on. Had we restricted them to 200-210, we would have had a chance. God has been kind to us, our family is proud, Mom is happy. She said at the end of the day, two points will come home only. There is so much of love between me and Hardik, there's hardly any banter. I can tell him about that (the catch), definitely.
