Just a rash slap as he goes aggressive but the shot lands into the hands of Washington Sundar. First wicket gone for LSG.

OHHH NOOO!!! This can be a big blow for Lucknow Super Giants as their skipper Rishabh Pant picks an injury. Facing pacer Arshad Khan, Pant gets hit on the pads and lies down on the ground in pain.

LSG 8/0 (1.4 overs)

LSG vs GT LIVE: 4!

First boundary for LSG comes off the blade of Aiden Markram. Fantastic shot by the South African, down the ground for 4. Pant, meanwhile, is off the mark too. A target of 181 won’t be easy for LSG at the Ekana.

LSG 6/0 (1)

LSG vs GT LIVE: Rishabh Pant opens!

Rishabh Pant is opening for LSG! Massive call taken by the LSG captain, who promotes himself up the order in the absence of Mitch Marsh. Prasidh Krishna comes on as the Impact Player for GT. Siraj will take the new ball.

Full Episode:

LSG vs GT LIVE: Who opens for LSG?

A big question now on everyone’s lips: who will open for LSG? Remember, Mitch Marsh is missing today due to his daughter being unwell. We wish him the best. Himmat Singh has replaced him in the XI. But could we see Rishabh Pant take added responsibility and open the innings?

LSG vs GT LIVE: Target 181

A superb opening partnership of 120 between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, but GT’s run-rate fell apart after the duo departed. LSG did well to fight back, with Bishnoi and Shardul taking two wickets each. A target of 181 should ensure a close contest!

LSG vs GT LIVE: No hattrick!

Shardul misses out on his hattrick. Rashid Khan facing the hattrick ball, didn’t time it well but it crosses the fielder. Remember, when Rashid took a hattrick in IPL 2023, Shardul was the third scalp. Rashid picks up 4 runs in 2 balls, GT end on 180.

GT 180/6 (20 overs)

LSG Target: 181

LSG vs GT LIVE: One more!

WICKET! Rahul Tewatia has been dismissed first ball. Trying to just go big, but it hits high on the bat, and an easy catch taken by Markram. Shardul on a hattrick! He also completes 200 T20 wickets in his career.

GT 176/6 (19.4)

LSG vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Shardul gets a wicket! This time he nails the yorker. Rutherford trying to give himself room and play an unorthodox shot. Misses, and is trapped LBW. Plumb. Good recovery by Shardul after getting hit for 6.

GT 176/5 (19.3)

LSG vs GT LIVE: SIX!

Great start to the final over for Gujarat Titans! Shardul misses his line and length completely, ends up bowling a full toss on the pads. Whacked away with ease by Shahrukh Khan over deep square-leg. 

GT 175/4 (19.1)

LSG vs GT LIVE: One over to go

12 comes off Avesh’s over. Good recovery by the pacer after conceding two boundaries to start. 180 is in sight for Gujarat Titans. They’ll hope to get a few boundaries to finish off. Shardul Thakur to bowl the final over.

GT 169/4 (19)

LSG vs GT LIVE: 4, 4 Rutherford!

Sherfane Rutherford picking up some crucial boundaries in the penultimate over off Avesh Khan. First through long leg, and then through third-man. Important runs for Gujarat Titans, who have suffered a big dip in their scoring rate after Gill and Sudharsan’s departures.

GT 165/4 (18.2)

LSG vs GT LIVE: A long over

A very long over here, bowled by Shardul Thakur. Couple of wides to start and then a very long DRS check for yet another wide. Gujarat manage only 10 runs off the over though. LSG have pulled them back brilliantly in the final stages.

GT 157/4 (18)

LSG vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Big wicket! Digvesh Singh finally gets his wicket! He’s seen two catches dropped off his bowling today, but not this time. Buttler mistimes it and a good catch taken at short fine-leg by Shardul Thakur, making up for Pant’s earlier mistake. Yet another setback for GT.

Digvesh does his signature celebration too. Wonder whether he’ll be fined for it.

GT 145/4 (16.4)

LSG vs GT LIVE: Pant drops!

Rishabh Pant drops Sherfane Rutherford! No timing from the West Indian, leading edge, it went up high, Pant took off his helmet and tried to grab it, but fails to hold on. He had even instructed Akash Deep, who was nearer, to not go for it.

GT 141/4 (16.2)

LSG vs GT LIVE: Can GT get 180?

GT’s run-rate has collapsed dramatically due to the wickets, and has fallen to under 9 an over. Buttler and Rutherford are not able to accelerate yet. They’ll need a good finish at the back end to get past 180.

GT 139/3 (16)

LSG vs GT LIVE: GONE!

Ravi Bishnoi strikes again! Washington Sundar lasts just 3 balls! Bishnoi has struck twice in over. The left-hander just chopped it on to his stumps. LSG are firmly on top now, and GT must find answers soon.

GT 127/3 (14)

LSG vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Sai Sudharsan departs now! Ravi Bishnoi has done the trick. The left-hander tries to loft it over the covers, doesn’t get the connection, caught by Pooran. And all of a sudden both the in-form openers are back in the hut! 2 wickets in 7 balls for the home team. Sudharsan out for 56.

GT 122/2 (13.1)

LSG vs GT LIVE: Great over by Avesh

Superb over by Avesh Khan. 2 runs and the crucial wicket of Shubman Gill. LSG will hope to slam the brakes on Gujarat from hereon, with the run-rate now under 10. Sai Sudharsan is well-set on 56, while Jos Buttler is at the crease now.

GT 122/0 (13)

LSG vs GT LIVE: OUT!

SHUBMAN GILL GONE! LSG finally get the wicket they were desperately hoping for. Shubman Gill tried to go for the big shot, sweet sound off the bat, but well taken at long-on by Aiden Markram. Gill departs for 60.

GT 120/1 (12.1)

LSG vs GT LIVE: Another good over!

Two more boundaries, as Akash Deep is brought back into the attack. Shubman Gill helped one through fine-leg early in the over, and Sai Sudharsan picks up through a straight drive off the last ball.

GT 120/0 (12)

LSG vs GT LIVE: 50 for Sai Sudharsan

B Sai Sudharsan continues his impeccable form with the bat. He has become the first batter in IPL 2025 to cross 300 runs! 50 off 32 balls, what an opening partnership this is turning out to be. Gujarat Titans on a roll.

GT 109/0 (11)

LSG vs GT LIVE: DROPPED!

Oh dear, Sai Sudharsan has been dropped on 46! Sai Sudharsan hit it hard, but it was flying straight to Abdul Samad at cover. That should’ve been taken. Digvesh is disappointed. This could be very costly for LSG.

GT 104/0 (10.3)

LSG vs GT LIVE: 100 up!

100-run opening partnership! It has comes in less than 10 overs. This has been a well-calculated partnership! Gill up to 52, Sai Sudharsan is nearing his own half-century with 46. Gujarat Titans are set for a big score.

GT 103/0 (10)

LSG vs GT LIVE: 50 for Gill!

50 for Shubman Gill! It comes in 31 balls. Second half-century of IPL 2025. He has played a patient yet masterful knock under the Lucknow heat, and ensured that Gujarat Titans get a brilliant start.

GT 88/0 (9)

LSG vs GT LIVE: 4, 6 GILL!

Shubman Gill, excellent! Pant opts for part-timer Aiden Markram, and Gill smacks him to the fence. First, a typical jab through mid-wicket for 4. Two balls later, he comes down the track and clears the ropes for 6. 15 off the over.

GT 81/0 (8)

LSG vs GT LIVE: DRS!

Ravi Bishnoi thought he had got Sai Sudharsan! The left-hander went for a shot, but didn’t connect and it was caught by keeper Pant. Umpire signalled wide, but Bishnoi urged Pant for a review. No bat involved, but it did skim his thigh, and so the wide is cancelled.

GT 66/0 (7)

LSG vs GT LIVE: More boundaries

Gill and Sudharsan continue the flow of runs. First a deft touch from Gill to pick up a boundary through third man, and then Sudharsan slams it through deep square-leg for 4. Great batting by the GT duo against Ravi Bishnoi.

GT 66/0 (6.4)
