Saha was dismissed on 81 (43) by Avesh Khan.

“We will bowl first. It’s a dream come true for us, leading our respective sides. Overall the wicket will play the same. We have a good batting side, and we fancy our chance to chase down the total. We have played good cricket, and we stand at a good stage in the points table. de Kock is in, Naveen misses out,” Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya said at the time of toss.

“We would have batted. I got what I wanted. It’s an emotional day, our father would have been proud. This is something happening for the first time, so our family is proud. One Pandya will definitely win today. It’s about expressing ourselves and not worry about the result. The fear of failure might creep in, but we need to play good cricket. One forced to change, Little is out as he has to play for Ireland, Alzarri comes in for him,” Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya said.
