IPL24 : Yash Thakur with 5 wkts rattle Gujarat as LSG defends 164 target

 


Gujarat Titans lost two consecutive matches.  Shubman Gill's team failed to reach the modest target of 164 runs against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday.  Lucknow's plan to create pressure by restricting the runs of the bowlers worked.  Batting first, Lucknow scored 163 runs.  Gujarat's innings ends at 130 runs.  Yash Thakur took five wickets.





 Lucknow batted first at home against Gujarat Titans.  Quinton de Kock (6) and Devdutta Parikkal (7) got out quickly after coming out to bat.  That's why Rahul could not play big shots in the beginning.  Later Marcus Stoinis came in and opened his arms.  He added 73 runs with Rahul.  Rahul looked like he was taking the pressure of not being able to play the big shots.  And while playing big shots, he gave away his  wicket at 33 .


 Without the Stoinis, Lucknow would not have created the space to fight.  He scored 58 runs off 43 balls.  Against the Rashid Khans of Gujarat, he was seen to attack the bowling .  Ayush Badoni (20 off 11) and Nicholas Pooran (32 off 22) scored some quick runs towards the end of the innings.  Lucknow crossed the barrier of 150 runs for them.



Umesh Yadav and Darshan Nalkonde took two wickets each for Gujarat.  Rashid took a wicket.  Another spinner of Afghanistan Noor Ahmed did not get a wicket but gave only 22 runs in 4 overs.  Umesh Yadav and others did not give many runs.  As a result, Lucknow was restricted to a few runs by Gujarat.


 Even after that Gujarat batters could not win the match.  Gujarat lost wickets at regular intervals against Lucknow.  No good partnerships  were created.  Wriddhiman Saha did not play in this match due to injury.  Sai Sudarshan opened the day instead of him.  He teamed up with Shubman Gill.  These two cricketers also scored 54 runs in the power play.  But as soon as they got out, Gujarat's batting collapsed.


 Yash Thakur started taking wickets.  He dismissed Shubman by knocking off his stumps .  He finished.  This is the first time a bowler has taken five wickets in this IPL.  Ravi Bishnoi dismissed Kane Williamson.  He will be in the running for the best catch of the competition in the way he jumped to the opposite side of the ball and palmed the ball.  Krunal Pandya played a big role in winning the match with Yash and Bishnoi.  He picked up three wickets with just 11 runs in 4 overs and bowled very tight to rattle Gujarat.  He picked up the wickets of Sudarshan and BR Sharat in the same over.  Gujarat could not handle that shock.


 Sunday's win lifted Lucknow to third in the league table.  Rahul has 6 points after winning three in four matches.  With the loss, Gujarat remained in seventh place.  Chennai Super Kings will play against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL on Monday.
