Looking at Gujarat Titans’ total of 144, it appeared like a modest target, and credit has to go to Lucknow Super Giants bowlers, who had restricted Hardik’s side to a below-par total. However, the GT bowlers took the responsibility upon themselves to make it a one-sided contest in the end.
Rashid Khan and co were all over LSG, who didn’t help themselves as they suffered a meltdown in a crucial game where they could have gone on to become the first side to qualify for IPL 2022 playoffs, but instead, it’s Gujarat, who have booked their berth in the playoffs.
