   Wriddhiman Saha (Wk)	47	37	6	0	127.03
   c Deepak Hooda b Krunal Pandya 10.3 Krunal Pandya to Wriddhiman Saha, OUT! CAUGHT! Lucknow needed a wicket and Krunal Pandya does the job once again for them. It is tossed up, full, on middle and leg. Wriddhiman Saha uses his feet and lofts it down the park to long on. He does not get the desired distance on it and hits it straight down the throat of Deepak Hooda, who makes no mistake in the deep. Wriddhiman Saha gifts his wicket here to Lucknow.  72/2
   Shubman Gill	0	2	0	0	0.00
   c Ravi Bishnoi b Krunal Pandya 1.2 Krunal Pandya to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT! Early success for Lucknow with the ball and it is Krunal Pandya who draws the first blood. What a move from KL Rahul to get the spinner early into the attack. It is full, around off, turning in a touch. Shubman Gill could not control his urge of getting of the mark and steps down the wicket to make his intentions clears. He lofts it high in the air towards long off. The ball does not travel the distance he would've envisioned. Ravi Bishnoi takes a sharp catch in the deep.  4/1
   Hardik Pandya (C)	66	50	2	4	132.00
   c KL Rahul b Marcus Stoinis 19.2 Marcus Stoinis to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! One time too many from Hardik Pandya and he has to depart. Short of a again from Marcus Stoinis and over middle and leg. Pandya just gets a bit cramped for room as he forces the pull shot flat toward long on. The timing is decent but there's no elevation on it. KL Rahul there takes a solid catch around his face and Pandya walks back after a captain's knock. 132/5
   Abhinav Manohar	3	5	0	0	60.00
   c Naveen-ul-Haq b Amit Mishra 11.4 Amit Mishra to Abhinav Manohar, OUT! CAUGHT! WHAT A CATCH! Naveen-ul-Haq is on fire, first he opened well with the new ball and now he is backing his spinners. He takes an absolute stunner in the deep to get rid of Abhinav Manohar cheaply. Amit Mishra continues to trouble the batters in the campaign and gets into the wicket's column for the afternoon. Slower through the air, full and outside off. Abhinav Manohar gets under it and lofts it high towards sweeper cover. Naveen-ul-Haq runs to his right and takes a sharp catch diving that side, near the ropes. 77/3
   Vijay Shankar	10	12	1	0	83.33
   b Naveen-ul-Haq 14.6 Naveen-ul-Haq to Vijay Shankar, OUT! TIMBER! Stumps everywhere. Naveen-ul-Haq picks his first wicket of the game and he truly deserved a wicket. He has been exceptional with the ball. It is a length ball, angled in, on off. Vijay Shankar tries to slog it across the line but fails to get any bat on it. The ball goes through the gap and crashes into the sticks. Lucknow have the momentum on their side now and will hope to capitalise on it in the death overs. 92/4
   David Miller	6	12	0	0	50.00
   c Deepak Hooda b Marcus Stoinis 19.6 Marcus Stoinis to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT! David Miller looks to finish things off in style but holes out instead. Marcus Stoinis bowls another slower one into the pitch and around off stump. Miller comes forward and tries to force the ball over the long on fence but only manages to hit it straight down the throat of Deepak Hooda there. Hooda makes no mistake and Gujarat finish with 135/6 on the board! 135/6

   Batting	R	B	4s	6s	S/R
   KL Rahul (C)	68	61	8	0	111.48
   c Jayant Yadav b Mohit Sharma 19.2 Mohit Sharma to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! KL Rahul departs on 68. Lucknow were cruising along nicely at one stage, but if they lose this game now, they have only themselves to blame. A short ball, on middle. KL Rahul thinks about riding the bounce and pulls it to deep backward square leg. He only manages to hit it down the throat of Jayant Yadav who makes no mistake. 126/4
   Kyle Mayers	24	19	2	1	126.32
   b Rashid Khan 6.3 Rashid Khan to Kyle Mayers, OUT! CLEANED UP! Rashid Khan comes back strongly after going for 16 runs in his first over. A very good leg-spinner, that lands outside off and turns in sharply off the deck. Kyle Mayers tries to go after it but offers no feet movement. The ball sneaks under his inside edge and goes on to hit the off pole. Just what the doctor ordered for Gujarat. Will they be able to capitalise on it though? 55/1
   Krunal Pandya	23	23	2	1	100.00
   st Wriddhiman Saha b Noor Ahmad 14.3 Noor Ahmad to Krunal Pandya, OUT! STUMPED! Noor Ahmad gets rid of Krunal Pandya and Gujarat have their second wicket. Pandya pre-meditates and looks to step out early and Noor sees his coming. The length is pulled back nicely and Noor simply skids this one through around the off stump. The ball just turns away enough for Pandya to run past it and Wriddhiman Saha whips off the bails in a flash. 106/2
   Nicholas Pooran (Wk)	1	7	0	0	14.29
   c Hardik Pandya b Noor Ahmad 16.5 Noor Ahmad to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Noor Ahmad picks up his second wicket and Gujarat are well and truly in this game. Nicholas Pooran tries to break his shackles but holes out instead. It is tossed up, full and on off. Nicholas Pooran gets down on one knee and goes for the slog sweep, but all he manages to get is a thick outside edge. The ball goes straight up in the air. Hardik Pandya settles under it beside the stumps at the non-striker's end and takes a sharp catch. 110/3
   Ayush Badoni	8	6	0	0	133.33
   run out (Vijay Shankar) 19.4 Mohit Sharma to Deepak Hooda, OUT! RUN OUT! A team Hat-Trick for Gujarat. Lucknow lose another wicket now. It is a full-length ball, on off. Deepak Hooda crunches it back to the bowler. Mohit Sharma only manages to get a hand on it but kills a lot of pace off it. Hooda calls for two runs but the throw from Vijay Shankar is accurate enough to find Ayush Badoni short of the crease at the non-striker's end. 127/6
   Marcus Stoinis	0	1	0	0	0.00
   c David Miller b Mohit Sharma 19.3 Mohit Sharma to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Mohit Sharma has turned the game on its head. He strikes again and Marcus Stoinis is out on a golden duck. It is a full-length ball, on middle. Marcus Stoinis makes some room and smacks it down the park to long on. David Miller runs in to his left and takes a solid catch diving to that side. Mohit Sharma is on a Hat Trick now. 126/5
   Deepak Hooda	2	2	0	0	100.00
   run out (Rashid Khan) 19.5 Mohit Sharma to Deepak Hooda, OUT! RUN OUT! WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? Mohit Sharma nails his yorker, on leg. Deepak Hooda whips it to deep mid-wicket. Rashid Khan is quick to get to the ball and his throw at the keeper's end is inch-perfect. Wriddhiman Saha collects the ball and takes off the bails in no time. The third umpire confirms that Deepak Hooda is way short of the crease. 128/7

7:32 pmRight then, that is all from this astonishing game and the dynamics at the top of the table just shift a bit yet again as Gujarat join Lucknow and a couple of other teams on 8 points. The second game of Super Saturday, between Mumbai and Punjab at the Wankhede Stadium is now underway and you can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage. Cheers!

7:39 pmMohit Sharma (3-0-17-2) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fine display of death bowling. Says that there is nothing special and it is all about being consistent. Praises his team and talks about the preparations they have put in. Tells that he has focused on his practice and kept things simple. Shares that they always believed in themselves and credits Hardik Pandya and Ashish Nehra for showing their faith. Also adds that he tried to outsmart the batters in the last over and it paid off.

7:28 pmEarlier in the game, Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first on a wicket that looked difficult for batting and once the game started we got to see that indeed, it wasn't easy to score runs. Wriddhiman Saha though got away a few boundaries inside the Powerplay but there wasn't much from the other batters. Hardik Pandya came in at number 3 and stayed on the crease, watching on as his fellow batters failed to up the ante. In the death over, Pandya did manage to hit a few lusty blows to take Gujarat over 130 runs. As for Lucknow, Krunal Pandya and Naveen-ul-Haq bowled well at the start and whenever they came on as well with the others supporting them nicely. The only exception was Ravi Bishnoi who was hit for a lot of runs. Coming to the chase, Lucknow were on top of proceedings right from ball one till about the 17th over but then there was a huge downfall that cost them dearly.

7:47 pmLucknow will be scratching their head and thinking how did they go on to lose this game, it was in the bag halfway through the 20 overs. Skipper KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers started off briskly with a 55-run stand before the latter fell. This though was backed up with another 50-plus stand between Rahul and Krunal Pandya and it was all smooth sailing for them. However, they lost a couple of quick wickets and Rahul simply couldn't get the boundaries away under pressure. From needing less than run-a-ball to needing 12 off the final over, they lost the plot completely in the final over. First Rahul got out and then they lost 3 more wickets in as many deliveries to go on and lose a game that should have never gone to the final over itself.

7:20 pmGujarat were dead and buried and with the opposition needing 30 runs off 34 balls and 9 wickets in hand, they stood no chance but Noor Ahmad dismissed Krunal Pandya on the next ball and all of a sudden, the dynamic changed. It was still pretty comfortable for Lucknow but Noor Ahmad struck again in his final over and gave his side a chance. The last three overs were decisive as Mohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami brought all their years of combined experience to suffocate the batters. With 12 needed off the last over, Sharma picked up a couple of quick wickets that were followed by two quick run-outs and before you know it, Gujarat won the game by 7 runs.

7:20 pmThe stuff with which dreams are made and Mohit Sharma has done it here for Gujarat! Can you believe it? Lucknow, from cruising to an easy win with balls to spare, have thrown it away and Gujarat have snatched the win right off their hands. There are incredible scenes inside the stadium and Gujarat have pulled off a heist.

2	19.1: Mohit Sharma to KL Rahul, It is full and on off. KL Rahul thumps it down the ground, Mohit Sharma ducks under it, instead of putting his hand in between. It easily could've been a dot ball but Lucknow get two runs off it.

7:05 pmIs that a run-out? Ayush Badoni did put in the dive at the bowler's end but this might be close. The replays confirm that the throw from down the ground was a good one and Mohit Sharma whipped off the bails quickly as well but the dive did save Badoni. Not Out!

18.5: Mohammad Shami to KL Rahul, A dot now! The pressure only keeps on increasing for Lucknow. What a turn around by Gujarat. Slower ball, on a length, wide of off. KL Rahul tries to hit it through the line but misses it completely. Rahul is unhappy with himself as he kicks the ground in frustration. The Lucknow skipper needs to keep his cool here.

6:58 pmGujarat have taken a review for an LBW decision here. The ball is full and seems to have struck KL Rahul on the back leg but initial replays clearly confirm that there is a big inside edge onto the pads and the review is a wasted one by Gujarat.

   c Deepak Hooda b Krunal Pandya 10.3 Krunal Pandya to Wriddhiman Saha, OUT! CAUGHT! Lucknow needed a wicket and Krunal Pandya does the job once again for them. It is tossed up, full, on middle and leg. Wriddhiman Saha uses his feet and lofts it down the park to long on. He does not get the desired distance on it and hits it straight down the throat of Deepak Hooda, who makes no mistake in the deep. Wriddhiman Saha gifts his wicket here to Lucknow.  72/2

   c Ravi Bishnoi b Krunal Pandya 1.2 Krunal Pandya to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT! Early success for Lucknow with the ball and it is Krunal Pandya who draws the first blood. What a move from KL Rahul to get the spinner early into the attack. It is full, around off, turning in a touch. Shubman Gill could not control his urge of getting of the mark and steps down the wicket to make his intentions clears. He lofts it high in the air towards long off. The ball does not travel the distance he would've envisioned. Ravi Bishnoi takes a sharp catch in the deep.  4/1

   c KL Rahul b Marcus Stoinis 19.2 Marcus Stoinis to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! One time too many from Hardik Pandya and he has to depart. Short of a again from Marcus Stoinis and over middle and leg. Pandya just gets a bit cramped for room as he forces the pull shot flat toward long on. The timing is decent but there's no elevation on it. KL Rahul there takes a solid catch around his face and Pandya walks back after a captain's knock. 132/5
   Abhinav Manohar	3	5	0	0	60.00
   c Naveen-ul-Haq b Amit Mishra 11.4 Amit Mishra to Abhinav Manohar, OUT! CAUGHT! WHAT A CATCH! Naveen-ul-Haq is on fire, first he opened well with the new ball and now he is backing his spinners. He takes an absolute stunner in the deep to get rid of Abhinav Manohar cheaply. Amit Mishra continues to trouble the batters in the campaign and gets into the wicket's column for the afternoon. Slower through the air, full and outside off. Abhinav Manohar gets under it and lofts it high towards sweeper cover. Naveen-ul-Haq runs to his right and takes a sharp catch diving that side, near the ropes. 77/3
   Vijay Shankar	10	12	1	0	83.33
   b Naveen-ul-Haq 14.6 Naveen-ul-Haq to Vijay Shankar, OUT! TIMBER! Stumps everywhere. Naveen-ul-Haq picks his first wicket of the game and he truly deserved a wicket. He has been exceptional with the ball. It is a length ball, angled in, on off. Vijay Shankar tries to slog it across the line but fails to get any bat on it. The ball goes through the gap and crashes into the sticks. Lucknow have the momentum on their side now and will hope to capitalise on it in the death overs. 92/4
   David Miller	6	12	0	0	50.00
   c Deepak Hooda b Marcus Stoinis 19.6 Marcus Stoinis to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT! David Miller looks to finish things off in style but holes out instead. Marcus Stoinis bowls another slower one into the pitch and around off stump. Miller comes forward and tries to force the ball over the long on fence but only manages to hit it straight down the throat of Deepak Hooda there. Hooda makes no mistake and Gujarat finish with 135/6 on the board! 135/6

   c Jayant Yadav b Mohit Sharma 19.2 Mohit Sharma to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! KL Rahul departs on 68. Lucknow were cruising along nicely at one stage, but if they lose this game now, they have only themselves to blame. A short ball, on middle. KL Rahul thinks about riding the bounce and pulls it to deep backward square leg. He only manages to hit it down the throat of Jayant Yadav who makes no mistake. 126/4
   Kyle Mayers	24	19	2	1	126.32
   b Rashid Khan 6.3 Rashid Khan to Kyle Mayers, OUT! CLEANED UP! Rashid Khan comes back strongly after going for 16 runs in his first over. A very good leg-spinner, that lands outside off and turns in sharply off the deck. Kyle Mayers tries to go after it but offers no feet movement. The ball sneaks under his inside edge and goes on to hit the off pole. Just what the doctor ordered for Gujarat. Will they be able to capitalise on it though? 55/1

Pandya pre-meditates and looks to step out early and Noor sees his coming. The length is pulled back nicely and Noor simply skids this one through around the off stump. The ball just turns away enough for Pandya to run past it and Wriddhiman Saha whips off the bails in a flash. 106/2
   Nicholas Pooran (Wk)	1	7	0	0	14.29
   c Hardik Pandya b Noor Ahmad 16.5 Noor Ahmad to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Noor Ahmad picks up his second wicket and Gujarat are well and truly in this game. Nicholas Pooran tries to break his shackles but holes out instead. It is tossed up, full and on off. Nicholas Pooran gets down on one knee and goes for the slog sweep, but all he manages to get is a thick outside edge. The ball goes straight up in the air. Hardik Pandya settles under it beside the stumps at the non-striker's end and takes a sharp catch. 110/3

Hooda calls for two runs but the throw from Vijay Shankar is accurate enough to find Ayush Badoni short of the crease at the non-striker's end. 127/6

7:32 pmRight then, that is all from this astonishing game and the dynamics at the top of the table just shift a bit yet again as Gujarat join Lucknow and a couple of other teams on 8 points. The second game of Super Saturday, between Mumbai and Punjab at the Wankhede Stadium is now underway and you can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage. Cheers!

7:39 pmMohit Sharma (3-0-17-2) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fine display of death bowling. Says that there is nothing special and it is all about being consistent. Praises his team and talks about the preparations they have put in. Tells that he has focused on his practice and kept things simple. Shares that they always believed in themselves and credits Hardik Pandya and Ashish Nehra for showing their faith. Also adds that he tried to outsmart the batters in the last over and it paid off.

7:28 pmEarlier in the game, Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first on a wicket that looked difficult for batting and once the game started we got to see that indeed, it wasn't easy to score runs. Wriddhiman Saha though got away a few boundaries inside the Powerplay but there wasn't much from the other batters. Hardik Pandya came in at number 3 and stayed on the crease, watching on as his fellow batters failed to up the ante. In the death over, Pandya did manage to hit a few lusty blows to take Gujarat over 130 runs. As for Lucknow, Krunal Pandya and Naveen-ul-Haq bowled well at the start and whenever they came on as well with the others supporting them nicely. The only exception was Ravi Bishnoi who was hit for a lot of runs. Coming to the chase, Lucknow were on top of proceedings right from ball one till about the 17th over but then there was a huge downfall that cost them dearly.

7:47 pmLucknow will be scratching their head and thinking how did they go on to lose this game, it was in the bag halfway through the 20 overs. Skipper KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers started off briskly with a 55-run stand before the latter fell. This though was backed up with another 50-plus stand between Rahul and Krunal Pandya and it was all smooth sailing for them. However, they lost a couple of quick wickets and Rahul simply couldn't get the boundaries away under pressure. From needing less than run-a-ball to needing 12 off the final over, they lost the plot completely in the final over. First Rahul got out and then they lost 3 more wickets in as many deliveries to go on and lose a game that should have never gone to the final over itself.

7:20 pmGujarat were dead and buried and with the opposition needing 30 runs off 34 balls and 9 wickets in hand, they stood no chance but Noor Ahmad dismissed Krunal Pandya on the next ball and all of a sudden, the dynamic changed. It was still pretty comfortable for Lucknow but Noor Ahmad struck again in his final over and gave his side a chance. The last three overs were decisive as Mohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami brought all their years of combined experience to suffocate the batters. With 12 needed off the last over, Sharma picked up a couple of quick wickets that were followed by two quick run-outs and before you know it, Gujarat won the game by 7 runs.

7:20 pmThe stuff with which dreams are made and Mohit Sharma has done it here for Gujarat! Can you believe it? Lucknow, from cruising to an easy win with balls to spare, have thrown it away and Gujarat have snatched the win right off their hands. There are incredible scenes inside the stadium and Gujarat have pulled off a heist.

2	19.1: Mohit Sharma to KL Rahul, It is full and on off. KL Rahul thumps it down the ground, Mohit Sharma ducks under it, instead of putting his hand in between. It easily could've been a dot ball but Lucknow get two runs off it.

7:05 pmIs that a run-out? Ayush Badoni did put in the dive at the bowler's end but this might be close. The replays confirm that the throw from down the ground was a good one and Mohit Sharma whipped off the bails quickly as well but the dive did save Badoni. Not Out!
