The chase was then finished in style as Gill (56) and Buttler (60) stitched a commanding partnership to take Gujarat to 165 for 3 with eight balls remaining.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/> GT began steadily with Gill and Sai Sudharsan adding 45 runs for the opening wicket off 31 balls. Sudharsan looked in touch early, striking three boundaries, but fell for 15 when he miscued a pull off Digvesh Rathi and was caught by Avesh Khan at fine leg.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/> Jos Buttler survived an early lifeline when LSG captain Rishabh Pant dropped him off Rathi, and the Englishman made them pay soon after. Once settled, Gill and Buttler shifted gears and dominated the middle overs, putting together 85 runs for the second wicket off just 58 deliveries.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> Gill played a composed yet aggressive knock, striking six fours and a six before falling for 56 when he gloved a short ball from Prince Yadav to Pant while attempting a pull shot. Buttler, meanwhile, was at his attacking best, timing the ball cleanly and punishing anything short or wide.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/> However, Buttler fell for 60 soon after, mistiming a slower ball from Mohammed Shami, which was well caught by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/aiden-markram\/64219\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Aiden Markram<\/a> at long-on. By then, GT were firmly in control.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/> <!-- -->Washington Sundar<!-- --> (21 not out) and Rahul Tewatia (10 not out) ensured there were no late hiccups as they guided the side home comfortably.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/> Earlier, LSG\u2019s innings never fully took off despite a quick start from Aiden Markram, who scored 30 off 21 balls with five fours and a six. <!-- -->Mitchell Marsh began explosively with a six and a four off Kagiso Rabada but was dismissed the very next ball for 11, caught by Gill.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/> Rishabh Pant started with a boundary but struggled for fluency before falling to Mohammed Siraj in the fifth over while attempting an ambitious shot, caught by Tewatia.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/> Markram continued to attack, striking Prasidh Krishna for consecutive boundaries, but was dismissed soon after when Washington Sundar took a well-judged catch at cow corner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/> Ayush Badoni, <!-- -->Nicholas Pooran<!-- --> and Abdul Samad all failed to convert starts. Pooran struck two sixes off <!-- -->Rashid Khan<!-- --> but laboured for 19 off 21 deliveries before falling to Gill.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/> George Linde and Mukul Choudhary offered brief resistance late in the innings, with Linde scoring 16 off 10 and Choudhary making 18 off 14, but regular strikes from GT kept LSG under pressure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/> Apart from Prasidh\u2019s four-wicket haul, Ashok Sharma chipped in with 2 for 32, while Siraj and Rabada picked up one wicket each, ensuring GT\u2019s bowling unit laid the foundation for a dominant win.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/shubman-gill-jos-buttler-fifties-and-prasidh-krishnas-four-for-power-gt-to-commanding-win-over-lsg\/articleshow\/130209462.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat Titans&#8217; Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill (ANI Photo) Skipper Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4160,6187,27555,19885,6186,12788,23370,4935,4393,1156],"class_list":["post-11274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-aiden-markram","tag-buttler","tag-gill","tag-gujarat-titans","tag-jos-buttler","tag-lucknow-super-giants","tag-nicholas-pooran","tag-rashid-khan","tag-shubman-gill","tag-washington-sundar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
