At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by 33 runs in a high-scoring encounter. After being eliminated from the playoff race, LSG played with freedom and purpose, delivering a blow to table-toppers GT.
LSG trick GT
At Narendra Modi, under lights so bold,
The Lucknow lions began to unfold.
Rishabh roared and flipped the script,
As GT’s plans were torn and ripped.
Mitchell Marsh took center stage,
Bat blazing like a lion in a cage.
A century stitched in style and flame,
Set the stadium roaring with his name.
Markram flowed with classy might,
Piercing gaps, eyes shining bright.
Pant joined hands, swung with flair,
Their shots slicing through the air.
Then came Pooran, storm unleashed,
Each ball he met became a feast.
Boundaries rained—both high and flat,
No bowler knew where he sat.
235—the board did scream,
A dream score, a fiery dream.
Seventeen sixes, seventeen fours,
Ripped Gujarat through open doors.
Arshad and Kishore took two each,
But the rest were left out of reach.
The bowlers gasped in fielding heat,
As LSG made them face defeat.
Then Titans began their mighty chase,
Sudharsan gone—O’Rourke set the pace.
Gill and Buttler tried to mend,
But middle overs saw the end.
Rutherford and Shahrukh lit some fire,
Their 86-run stand climbed higher.
But O’Rourke roared once again,
Snatched back control, silenced the den.
Tewatia fell, then pressure brewed,
Shahbaz struck and calmness grew.
Badoni stepped in, cleaned up late,
And sealed the Titans’ losing fate.
Shahrukh’s fifty, brave and neat,
But 202 was incomplete.
The chase had fire, but lacked the close,
As Lucknow bloomed like a summer rose.
Pant stood tall, spoke of pain,
Of slipping chances, loss, and gain.
Gill admitted—they gave too much,
In this league, fine margins clutch.
O’Rourke said, “You bend, not break,
In heat like this, it’s sweat you make.”
Marsh reflected on his IPL ride,
From Deccan days to Lucknow’s pride.
So in Ahmedabad the Titans fell,
In tales of cricket, this one will dwell.
For when LSG swings both bat and ball,
Even giants like Gujarat fall.
