Gujarat Titans got off to a flying start in their IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants, thanks to an impressive opening partnership between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan. The duo put together 120 runs for the first wicket, with Gill scoring 60 off 38 balls and Sudharsan making 56 off 37. Their solid start had the Titans poised to reach 200, but the Lucknow bowlers stepped in to restrict them to 180.
Early Wickets Shake Gujarat
Gill fell to Avesh Khan in the 13th over, his 60 coming from six fours and a six. He was followed by Sudharsan, who was dismissed by Ravi Bishnoi in the next over. Sudharsan’s 56 included seven fours and a six. The loss of these two key batsmen derailed Gujarat’s innings, and they struggled to recover.
The Lucknow bowlers played a crucial role in Gujarat’s collapse. Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi’s early successes set the tone for the rest of the innings. Shardul Thakur also made a significant impact with a brilliant catch that led to a wicket.
🎬 A superb opening act of 1️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ that deserved all the applause 👏👏
