Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: A late flourish powered by cameos from the lower order helped Lucknow Super Giants post a competitive 164/8 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.

After being put in to bat, LSG made a brisk start in the powerplay, racing to 60/2 despite losing early wickets. Mitchell Marsh set the tone with an aggressive 11 off just four balls before falling to Kagiso Rabada, while Rishabh Pant injected momentum with a breezy 18 off 11 deliveries, including a six and two boundaries, before Mohammed Siraj removed him.

Opener Aiden Markram then anchored the innings through the middle phase, striking a fluent 30 off 21 balls. He found regular boundaries and looked set for a bigger contribution, but Gujarat’s disciplined bowling struck back at crucial intervals. Prasidh Krishna, in particular, proved effective with his variations, dismissing Markram with a well-directed short ball to break a promising stand.
