Lucknow Super Giants made the most of the slightly favourable pitch conditions to dent table toppers Gujarat Titans’s hopes of staying at the top of the 10-team Indian Premier League table with a 33-run win at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Gujarat Titans have had a smooth run in the tournament until they ran into a determined Lucknow outfit at home. They had lost only three out of 12 matches with their top three batters — Sai Sudharsan (638 runs), skipper Shubman Gill (636 runs), and Jos Buttler (533 runs) — in great form.
