​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 👏
