“You Also Come Soon”- Gujarat Titans Send Touching Message To Lucknow Super Giants After Beating Them To Qualify For IPL 2022 Playoffs

Debutant Gujarat Titans became the first franchise to qualify for the playoffs in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. They registered their ninth win of the season against the Lucknow Super Giants and touched the magical 18 points mark. It is likely that the Gujarat Titans will finish in the Top 2 of the points table now.

GT and LSG hold the first two positions on the IPL 2022 points table. The team that would win the battle between the two franchises at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune would qualify for the playoffs.

Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to bat first. Shubman Gill scored an excellent half-century and guided GT to a score of 144/4 in 20 overs. Chasing 145 to win the match, the Lucknow Super Giants lost all their wickets for 82 runs. The Ahmedabad-based franchise brought its ‘A’ game to the table in the bowling department and helped the team register a big win.

“Ab apni baari hai, par tum bhi jaldi se Playoffs mein aa jana… Do naye teams bhaukaal machadenge, @LucknowIPL !” Gujarat replied to LSG. (Rough Translation: It is our turn now, you also come to playoffs soon. The two new teams will storm into the next round.)
