KL Rahul’s LSG lost their first game against fellow debutants Gujarat Titans by five wickets. They were blown away by Gujarat’s Mohammed Shami (3/25). Fifties from Deepak Hooda and new find Ayush Badoni helped Lucknow stage a comeback and post 158/6, else the team would have been bundled out below 100. Their bowling also was not up to the mark as late cameos from Rahul Tewatia and David Miller helped Gujarat across the line in 19.4 overs.
On the other hand, four-time champions Chennai suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders. They too suffered a batting collapse, but former skipper MS Dhoni’s half-century helped them to post a respectable 131/5 in 20-overs. Kolkata chased down the target with ease in 18.3 overs, once again highlighting chinks in their bowling unit.
Both sides will be looking to get on track with a winning effort on Thursday.
