Lucknow Super Giants Mauls Gujarat Titans in a One-Sided Encounter

-


 The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) emerged victorious yesterday, defeating the Gujarat Titans (GT) by a convincing 33 runs at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The win was powered by a sensational bowling performance from young pacer Yash Thakur, who ripped through the GT batting order claiming a historic five-wicket haul – the first of IPL 2024.

LSG skipper KL Rahul opted to bat first after winning the toss. Their innings revolved around a gritty 58 from Marcus Stoinis and a quickfire 32 from Nicholas Pooran, helping them reach a total of 163/5. Umesh Yadav and Darshan Nalkande were the pick of the GT bowlers, taking two wickets each.

Chasing a modest target, GT got off to a promising start with their openers putting on a 54-run partnership. However, the introduction of Yash Thakur turned the tide. He dismantled the GT batting line-up, picking up wickets at regular intervals. Krunal Pandya provided excellent support with a three-wicket haul, while Ravi Bishnoi took a blinder of a catch to dismiss the dangerous Kane Williamson.


GT's chase crumbled under the pressure, eventually getting bundled out for a mere 130 runs in 18.5 overs. Yash Thakur was deservedly adjudged the Man of the Match for his career-defining performance. This win consolidates LSG's position at the top of the IPL 2024 points table, while GT will be looking to bounce back in their next encounter.

He also referenced the Supreme Court's decision to grant bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia, who is a co-accused in the same cases. However, Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, representing the probe agencies, accused Kavitha of tampering with evidence by formatting her mobile phone. Kavitha’s legal team dismissed this allegation as unfounded. The Supreme Court questioned the material evidence against Kavitha, emphasizing that she had already spent five months in custody and that her continued detention was unwarranted. The bench noted that the likelihood of the trial concluding in the near future was slim, and reiterated the principle that undertrial custody should not amo...
