The First Innings: Prasidh Krishna Dismantles LSG
Winning the toss and electing to bowl, Shubman Gill’s decision paid immediate dividends. Despite a steady start by LSG, they struggled to build momentum against a relentless GT attack. Aiden Markram top-scored for the hosts with a gritty 30 off 21 balls, and Nicholas Pooran added a brief spark with 19, but the Titans’ bowlers never let the shackles loose.
The star of the show was Prasidh Krishna, who continued his exceptional form. Krishna tore through the LSG lineup, finishing with stellar figures of 4 for 28. His ability to extract bounce and movement kept the LSG batters guessing, restricting them to a modest 164/8 in their 20 overs.
The Chase: Gill and Buttler Make Light Work of the Target
In response, the Titans’ chase was anchored by a formidable partnership between captain Shubman Gill and the explosive Jos Buttler.
Jos Buttler: Played the role of the aggressor, smashing 60 runs off 37 balls, a knock that included 11 boundaries and saw him cross the 14,000-run milestone in T20 cricket.
Shubman Gill: The skipper led from the front with a composed 56 off 40 balls, ensuring the run rate remained under control.
While both set batters were dismissed before the finish line, the damage was already done. Washington Sundar (21)* and Rahul Tewatia (10)* remained calm to guide the Titans to 165/3 in 18.4 overs, sealing a second consecutive win for the franchise.
Jos Buttler is putting on a complete masterclass out in the middle 👊
14,000 T20 runs and a monumental 100th T20 FIFTY for the Englishman 👏
