LSG vs GT Live Update: Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian cricketer, feels that independence and fearlessness are the two factors that have contributed to the Gujarat Titans’ (GT) successful season so far. With 16 points, the new team is in second place in the standings. They are just one victory away from clinching a playoff berth for the first time in their history.
The captain-coach pair of Hardik Pandya and Ashish Nehra have established a philosophy of playing with total freedom. This is reflected in their performances. Because they have so many match-winners on their roster, they have consistently emerged victorious from tight matches throughout the competition.
What did Gavaskar say?
Gavaskar claimed on Star Sports’ ‘Cricket Live’ that GT is playing nicely and that they are enjoying their cricket.
“Of course, you want to win even when you are playing in your backyard. But a defeat does not always spell the end of the world. That is the attitude that they are taking when they go onto the field. They seem to be having a good time and are playing positive cricket,” Gavaskar said.
He went on to say:
“Gujarat is playing with such abandon and confidence that it is frightening (in approach). They play with no fear of the world. This is one of the reasons why they are winning.”
GT, on the other hand, is now on a two-match losing streak. Their match-winners were unable to propel the squad to victory in their most recent match against the Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium.
Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden believes that the availability of numerous match-winners and their dynamic style of cricket are the reasons for their impressive start. He said:
“They have a strong batting lineup, plenty of confidence, and a plethora of match-winning players. It’s interesting to watch them because when there isn’t a Rahul Tewatia performance, there’s a Rashid Khan show. When Rashid Khan isn’t performing, there’s a Killer-Miller (David Miller) show, which is always entertaining.”
Hayden went on to say:
“These players are capable of winning matches. This makes them a hazardous side to bet on in the tournament. To see the kind of cricket that they are playing is quite entertaining.”
LSG vs GT Live Update: They have a good chance of winning against the Lucknow Super Giants: Harbhajan Singh
GT will square off against the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants in a top-of-the-table showdown. Because the difference between the two teams’ net run rates is so small, the victor of this matchup is very certain to secure a berth in the top four as the tournament nears its conclusion.
Harbhajan Singh said the following during the same interaction: “I believe GT will complete a double against LSG and seal their playoff berth tonight. Gujarat Titans will win their match against the Lucknow Super Giants and will be the first side to qualify for the Indian Premier League. The side captained by Hardik Pandya is really powerful. In excellent form, Rashid Khan is leading the way. Coach Ashish Nehra is instilling exactly the right amount of confidence in his players. This squad is very tough to defeat.”
To maintain their grip on the top of the table, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul will square off once again on Friday night. The match is slated to take place at the MCA Stadium in Pune later today.
