Today at IPL 2022, LSG vs GT: Lucknow eye revenge against Gujarat in battle of new-comers
India Today
Today at IPL 2022, LSG vs GT: Gujarat Titans will need their batters to fire when they take on high-flying Lucknow Super Giants as both teams look to seal the IPL play-offs berth on Tuesday.
Lucknow Super Giants will look to ride on their winning momentum to complete revenge over fellow newcomers Gujarat Titans when the two teams meet each other in the battle to seal an IPL 2022 playoffs berth on Tuesday.
The two new entrants are having a dream run in their maiden season. While Gujarat led the points table for the most part of the league, Lucknow moved ahead of them to take the top spot. The Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat side's winning streak came to an end with back-to-back losses against Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians last week.
Both teams have 16 points each from 11 outings and a win for either of them will confirm passage to the next stage.
LSG, who have won their last four games, will be brimming with confidence as they head to the fixture with a morale-boosting 75-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders. The team has relied heavily on him to get the job done with the bat. But the likes of Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda have taken more responsibility in the recent games, which will definitely take the pressure off Rahul.
