Lucknow: Lucknow Super Giants won the last two matches due to the brilliant performance of Mayank Yadav, the new sensation of Indian fast bowling. Now in the match against Gujarat Titans, LSG will continue its winning campaign and try to score a hat-trick of wins. Mayank has attracted everyone’s attention so far with his speed. He was adjudged the best player of the match in both the last matches. This 21-year-old fast bowler took 3 wickets for 27 runs against Punjab Kings, while after this he took 3 wickets for 14 runs against Royal Challenger Bangalore. Due to his excellent performance, discussions have started regarding his inclusion in the Indian team soon.
In the batting department, Lucknow has a great opening pair in the form of Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul. De Kock has performed well in the last two matches, but the team will expect an even bigger innings from Rahul. West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran and Indian all-rounder Krunal Pandya are also playing their roles well. But the big concern for Lucknow is the poor form of Devdutt Padikkal and Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis. In bowling, Mayank needs more support from Naveen Ul Haq, Yash Thakur, Stoinis and leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi.
RCB also bowed before the speed of Mayank Yadav, Lucknow won the match by 28 runs.
Lucknow Super Giants Probable Playing 11
Lucknow Super Giants- Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (captain), Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Naveen Ul Haq, Mayank Yadav.
Which 11 will Gujarat Titans select?
Gujarat team has won two matches and has faced defeat in two matches. His team is currently at seventh position in the points table. Gill had scored unbeaten 89 runs in 48 balls in the last match. He will try to continue his performance. Sai Sudarshan is looking in good form but the team is expecting better performance from players like Wriddhiman Saha and Vijay Shankar. It is possible that against Lucknow the team may drop Shankar and give a chance to Shahrukh Khan. Mohit Sharma has performed brilliantly so far in bowling. But they need good support from players like Azmatullah Umarzai, Umesh Yadav, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed.
Gujarat Titans Probable Playing 11- Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill (captain), Kane Williamson, Sai Sudarshan, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Umesh Yadav, Darshan Nalkande.
