Also, the standout performer for the team in the recent three-wicket win over Kolkata was Mukul Choudhary, whose unbeaten 54 off 27 balls set up the chase in a spectacular manner. Additionally, the middle order has received stability through Ayush Badoni’s reliable contributions, ensuring that the team remains competitive in high-pressure situations.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans travel to Lucknow looking to maintain their first winning streak of the season. Led by Shubman Gill, the team currently sits at 7.th Position in the points table with 2 points after three matches.

Lucknow Super Giants will aim to make use of their familiar home conditions and recent head-to-head dominance to clinch their third consecutive win. In contrast, Gujarat Titans will look to overcome their recent struggles against the Super Giants and focus on disciplined bowling and tactical execution to score crucial points.
