In the IPL 2026 match held on April 12 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Rahul Tewatia executed a spectacular catch to dismiss Rishabh Pant for 18 runs off 11 balls. Pant, who had previously struggled with scores of 7 and 10 in earlier matches this season, attempted a big shot off a delivery from Mohammed Siraj, only to miscue it towards mid-off where Tewatia was waiting. Siraj's delivery, clocked at 139.9 km/h, proved pivotal in the fifth over of LSG's innings. Meanwhile, Kagiso Rabada contributed to Gujarat Titans' strong start by dismissing Mitchell Marsh for 11 runs off just four balls. As of the sixth over, Lucknow Super Giants were at 60/2, with Aiden Markram and Ayush Badoni at the crease. GT recently secured a thrilling victory against Delhi Capitals by just one run, marking their first win of the season after two losses. LSG, on the other hand, has won two out of their three matches, including a successful chase against Kolkata Knight Riders. Historically, LSG has had the upper hand against GT, not losing to them in their last three encounters.
