On the other hand, Lucknow are doing pretty decent in their 2023 IPL campaign, the KL Rahul-led unit has registered four wins and three losses out of the seven games they played and thus is sitting in the fourth place with eight points. The team endured a loss in their last fixture wherein Gujarat Titans beat them by 7 wickets. Bowling first, Lucknow bowlers did well to restrict Gujarat to a modest score of 135, despite some valiant knocks from Hardik Pandya and Wriddhiman Saha. Chasing 136, Gujarat bowlers ran through Lucknow’s batting order to leave them reeling under pressure. With only KL Rahul managing to top score (64), Lucknow could only manage 128 on board as Gujarat won the match narrowly.
