Delhi: In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lost by the Gujarat Titans (GT) by 6 wickets. After this defeat, Gujarat captain Shubman Gill honestly accepted his team’s mistakes. After the match, he told that he suffered a loss due to losing some important opportunities in both batting and bowling.
Shubman Gill said that the pitch of Lucknow was not easy for the batsmen from the beginning. “It was not easy to shoot on the wicket from the beginning. The conversation was that if a batsman is set, he should play for at least 17-18 overs, so that we can score 200-220.” He admitted that the team’s plan was disturbed due to the falling wickets and the strike rotation in the middle overs could not be as expected.
What did Captain Gill say on the game plan?
On his team’s plan against the aggressive batsmen, Gill said, “The conversation was that if we take out 2-3 wickets quickly, the match could come back to our hands again. And it happened. The match went to the last over, which also hoped us.”
He also told that at the time of bowling, light dew started falling later. “After 10-11 overs, dew started coming, due to which the ball was not stopping as earlier. We felt the ball will come to a standstill, but it did not happen. The second timeout conversation was that we have to take the match as much as possible. And we tried.”
After this match, LSG Points came in third place in 6 matches in the table with 8 points. At the same time, this was the second defeat of GT, but the team is still in second place with 4 wins.
