Gujarat Titans Secure Back-to-Back IPL 2026 Wins with Dominant Bowling and Batting Display Gujarat Titans (GT) claimed a thrilling 7-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Lucknow on April 12, 2026. The match, which saw GT chase down a target of 165 with eight balls remaining, highlighted their resilience and tactical precision, while LSG’s struggles continued as they faced another disappointing performance. The victory was spearheaded by a stellar bowling display from GT, led by Prasidh Krishna’s four-wicket haul. Krishna, named the Player of the Match (POTM), emphasized the importance of teamwork, stating, “I think the most important thing was the victory for us. I am just here taking the laurels of all the pressure created by all the other bowlers.” His ability to mix pace-off with pace-on deliveries proved critical, particularly in the middle overs, where GT maintained pressure on LSG’s batting lineup. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler played pivotal roles in GT’s chase, scoring fifties to ensure a steady run rate. Gill praised the team’s bowling effort, noting, “The way we bowled in the powerplay was very impressive and how we kept up the pressure in the middle overs was tremendous.” He also highlighted Rashid Khan’s impact, saying, “Rashid makes my life very easy. Getting us back in the game every time another bowler is under pressure.” Buttler, who scored 52 off 37 balls, added, “I’ve been through a lean patch, but nice to get some good games. I’ve been focusing on my set-up and basics, which helped me see the ball better.” LSG’s batting woes persisted, with Rishabh Pant admitting, “Definitely not enough runs. They bowled well.#narendra_modi_stadium #ipl_2026 #lucknow_super_giants #gujarat_titans #prasidh_krishna
