5:55 PM: A wayward over from Mohammed Siraj

5:49 PM: Pant walks in to open the innings

With Michell Marsh missing this match, the opening slot for LSG opened up. Skipper, Rishabh Pant walked in to open the innings. He has the experience of opening the innings in the IPL. Pant used to open the batting for Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) in 2016. It was his debut season that year and opened the batting four times. 

5:21 PM: LSG needs 181 runs to win

A late cameo from Shahrukh Khan after a blistering start from the two openers has allowed Gujarat Titans to score 180 runs in the first innings. Both Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan scored fifties at the top of the order before a resurgent LSG bowling attack made a comeback. 

5:08 PM: A struggling knock from Rutherford

Gujarat Titans are at 157/4 after 18 overs. Rutherford: 12* (14), Shahrukh: 2* (2)

Sherfane Rutherford has endured a tough match since the moment he came in to bat. It might be that his demotion in the batting order has played with his mindset. His first boundary came on the 13th ball he faced. 

The left-handed batter after playing a couple of hard-hitting knocks in the season, has been kept quiet in this game.

4:58 PM: Digvesh picks up his first wicket

Gujarat Titans are at 147/4 after 17 overs. Rutherford: 6* (9), Shahrukh: 1* (1)

Digvesh Rathi ended his spell on a high with the wicket of Jos Buttler. The rookie leg spinner has been the most successful bowler for the hosts so far in the season. However, he would still feel unlucky as Rishabh Pant dropped Sherfane Rutherford’s catch early in the over.
