‘Kahan se laate ho aisi script’- Twitter can’t believe as LSG fail to chase down 135 against GT following last over collapse
LSG vs GT
In a thrilling encounter between LSG and GT, it was the latter who emerged victorious by a margin of 7 runs in the 30th match of IPL 2023. GT won the toss and elected to bat first on a slow ground at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. They could only manage to score 135/6 in their allotted 20 overs, with Hardik Pandya being the top scorer with 66 off 50 deliveries, including 2 fours and 4 sixes. Wriddhiman Saha played a supporting role with 47 off 37 deliveries, including 6 fours.
LSG’s Krunal Pandya and Marcus Stoinis took 2 wickets each, restricting GT’s scoring rate. The LSG team, on the other hand, started the chase confidently, with captain KL Rahul leading from the front. He made 68 off 61 deliveries, but failed to increase the run rate in the later stages of the match. This put LSG in a tight spot, and they ultimately lost the match by 7 runs.
The turning point of the match was Mohit Sharma’s spell of 17 runs in 3 overs, where he picked up 2 crucial wickets. Sharma’s performance was pivotal in restricting LSG’s scoring rate and securing the win for GT.
Despite KL Rahul’s heroics, LSG’s chase ultimately fell short. GT’s bowlers, led by Mohit Sharma, did an excellent job in restricting LSG’s scoring rate, and eventually, the team failed to chase down the target of 136. GT’s victory was well-deserved, and the team moves up to 4th position in the points table with 8 points in 7 matches.
The defeat will be a wake-up call for LSG, who remain at 2nd position with 8 points in 7 matches. They will need to regroup and come back stronger in their upcoming matches to ensure their place in the playoffs.
It was an entertaining match, with both teams giving their best on the field. The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow provided a fitting backdrop for the game, and the fans were treated to some exciting cricketing action. With the tournament approaching the halfway mark, it remains to be seen which teams will make it to the playoffs and ultimately lift the trophy.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to GT’s win :
No KL Rahul is the hero for GT.
