IPL23 Match no 30th LSG vs GT this match GT won by 7 runs. Mohit Sharma (Player of the Match): "Nothingis special. Everything is normal. I feel theconsistency is there and it's in process. The bestthing about this team is that you do well or bad,you need to go back and do the process rightfrom the beginning.You don't need to do a lot of things. Just do thepractice and do it with honesty. Yeah, this isspecial. The believe factor didn't go anywhere.Hardik was again and again telling us that weare winning this game, we are winning thisgame. Ashu [Ashish Nehra] Bhai came in duringthe timeoutand told us to do our work with fullhonesty and things will happen. It was importantto stay positive and focus on the present.I didn't think too much, was just clear with my thought process. I wasn't thinking too much thatneed to bol and bouncer or a yorkerso thebatter keeps judging."Hardik Pandya (Gujarat Titans Captain): "This isa way of God telling us it's okay after the first twogames, something incredible happened today.The only message I wanted to give was let'snot have any regrets. As a champion player youshould be happy and satisfied with the effort,no matter the result The atmosphere changedand people started believing, a win like this canchange your tournament completely.I think the way the wicket was playing and onthe high end side we could have got 10 runsmore. The pitch was very slow, they bowled reallywell, they put the pressure on us anda couple ofbatters did not get the runs and we spoke aboutin the strategic timeout that a batter needs to bat long. They ticked off in the powerplay but I'nmhappy we were able to come back.When there was 30 balls in 30 I felt they were stillIahead but when 27 off4 overs came, I sniffedan opportunity and kind of had a sense that wemight be in the game, let's keep going andeverysingle bowler contributed andas the captain ofGujarat Titans I could not have asked for more.The amount of cricket Mo [Mohit Sharma] hasplayedI don't think I have to interfere, theexecution, the calmness he showed made myjob easy. At the same time the over that Shamibowled, showed his experience and specialmention to Jayantas well, bowling like this after a long time of not playing. The credit is reallytheirs."Active catch of the match: Naveen-ul-HaqMost fours in the match: KL RahulMost valuable asset of the match: Krunal PandyaGame-changer of the match: Hardik Pandya Noor Ahmad (Gujarat Titans): "First ofall, thanksto almighty Allah. We were in a crucial situation.We wanted to attack and that's what we achieved.In the first over, I tried to control a bit. In thesecond over I got the rhythm, I wanted the batterto play on the front foot and bowled good areas.In the end, it wasa good result. I didn't make anychanges, kept it simple. I wanted to hit the rightareas and that's whatI desired"KL Rahul (LSG Captain): "I don't know how thshas happened and it happened so fast. That's KL Rahul (LSG Captain): "Idon't know how thishas happened and it happened so fast That'scricket which keeps reminding us that the gameis never won until the last ball. I stll can't put afinger on itand say where we went wrong but it iswhat it is, we've lost 2 points. We had the game inour pockets and we let it slip.I think we were quite brilliant. 135 is probablypar or 1O under par and we bowled really well.We know these conditions so we used it well.bowlers were very clear with their plans and thenexecution was spot on. We started well with the bat as well. I can't believe what has happened anawe just have to accept it as it is. Its a game andthese things keep happening but this is going tosting us fora while and we'l try and come backstrong. We are doing a lot of things right. We are8 points strong, 7games we have played. We arestill goodas a team. These things happen you aresomething on the wrong side.We were well ahead of the game andI wasn'ttrying to bat really deep but still trying to playshot and trying to take on the bowlersI fancybut they bowled really well in those 2-3 over period with Noorand Jayant. Should have takenfew more chances as we had wickets in hand butwasn'tan easy wicket for batters to come in andget going straightaway. I should have taken a fewmore chances or should have hit a few more offthe middle of the bat."7:15 PM IST | GUJARAT TITANS HAVE STOLENAN INCREDIBLE VICTORY FROM THE JAWS OFDEFEAT!

Probably someother guys on the side, deserve awards but stokedto get some rewards. Nice one to get it.To do ball by ball. It's more about one ball at atime. Iam not some who will get swiped aboutwhat to bowl in the fifth over or in the 10th over.In T20I cricket, every ball counts. It's more to bein the moment, easier said than done.You wanna try to focus on drying the ball. The ballwas wet and the best way to get to do was to bowlcross seam. That was my percentage ball. Veryhappy to see Sam get us over the line."Shikhar Dhawan (Punjab Kings Captain): "Yes,absolutely there were nervous moments. ButI was keeping calm and discussed with thebowlers about the plan. There was dew, you haveto respect that. I am happy with the total weput on the board. We scored 197 and then Ourbowlers gave us early wickets before Nathan Elliscame and bowled wel. It was a full team effort.Switch Hit (haha, replies to the question aboutthe turning point in the game). I doing my bestto increase the strike rate. This time we have gota big batting lineup. These two games we wereplaying well. Starting with Prabhsimran Singh andthen Iplayed according to the situation. We willtry to keep the momentum going with intent andSam Curran (Punjab Kings): "When it comes tothose situations you just gotta do or die. If youknow your yorker, youre gonna be okay but if youdon't then those are the moments you practicefor. When you got such quality hitters and newrule as well where the batters keep coming.Iguess its those moments you wanna be in.Somedays it would work and somedays it won'tbut luckily we won today.It was strange how they changed their ball in thefirst innings when it was a little bit wet and I wastrying to get our ball changed but I don't knowhow it really works when they can change theirball and we can't. Iguess we have to get on withit and sory for slowing the play down with the tailbut that's what happened.Prabhsimran has been amazing. I was with him atPunjab four years ago. He was very young and heis still young. The way he has been playing withShikhar is amazing and the team got off to a gooastart. Hope its a start of a great campaign for himand hopefully the runs keep coming because heis an amazing player.Well I guess the way we batted there I was happyjust sitting in the dugout when the boys werebatting beautifully.I was ready to go.

Its extremely tough but everyone'sIts amazingly hard. You try and dip balls in waterand train with it. In India the dew is very big in allgrounds so its incredibly hard to hold the seam.You try to geta cross seam but that's not a naturalball to bowla yorker so maybe its somethingto work on. Its extremely tough but everyone'sgotta doit so that's no real complaining. We justgotta keep getting better because the batters andbowlers are getting better. That's why this is thebest tournament in the World."Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided tobowl first in the maiden IPL game at Guwahati.Punjab Kings' opening batters came out all gunsblazing to destroy the new ball bowlers of RRconsisting of Trent Boult, and KM Asif, and it wasespecially Prabhsimran Singh with the assault.The swashbuckling batter carved away 7 foursand 3 sixes to his maiden IPL fifty in a blink ofan eye and scored 60 off 34 balls. He was thefirst one to go as Jos Buttler tooka screamer inthe bowling of Jason Holder. Before getting oPrabhsimran and Shikhar Dhawan blistered90 runs for the opening wicket, with the latterHowever, Dhawan hit a ball hard straight intothe team's previous match hero, BhanukaRajapaksa's hand and the victim left the fieldstraightaway, playing no further part in the game.But Dhawan batted through the innings and wasunbeaten at 86 off 56 balls, including 9 foursand 3 sixes, which helped the side post a totalof nearly 200. In the process of this responsibleinnings, the Punjab skipper achieved a rare featof becoming only the third batter in the historIPL to score 50 fifty-plus knocks.Amidst this, Jitesh Sharma played a handycameo of 27 off 16 deliveries, adding 68 runsalongside Dhawan. PBKS lost a couple of quickwickets in a span of a few deliveries betweenthe 16th and 17th over. While Jitesh was takencare of by Yuzvendra Chahal, Sikandar Raza wasbamboozled bya brilliant carrom ball deliveredby Ravichandran Ashwin to get bowled out.Shahrukh Khan (11 off 10) didn't get going togive PBKS a powerful finish but had a decentpartnership with Dhawan of 37 runs for the fourthwicket, with the latter shifting his gears as PunjabKings posted 197/4 in their allotted 20 overs.For RR, while the rest of the bowlers- Boult, Asifand Chahal were taken to the cleaners, JasonHolder and Ashwin bowled terrific spells stoppingthe momentum of the opposition in the midd'-overs besides scalping three wickets betweerthem.In what was a drama-filled run chase from RR,they failed to chase the game despite comingclose to the target. To everyone's surprise, RaviAshwin opened the batting with Yashasvi Jaiswalinstead of Jos Buttler. Though Jaiswal hammereda couple of glorious shots, his stay was short atthe crease. Arshdeep Singh made the new ballcount by dismissing both the openers withoutmuch on the board.Coming at number three, Buttler (19 off 11)clubbed a few but he too as Jaiswal cannot takethe innings deeper and fell in a streaky mannerto Nathan Ellis, who hada dream day with theball in hand as he decimated RR with his superbspell of 4-0-30-4. It included the wickets of SanjuSamson, Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag apartfrom the wicket of Jos the Boss. Though thesedidn't come at regular intervals, Ellis struck atcrucial junctures of the match to push the horside onto the back foot.With 74 runs needed off the final five overs, Jurel(32* off 15) and Hetmyer (36 off 18) lifted theirside and gave them a chance in the match bysmashing the bowlers left right and centre with aquick-fire 62-run partnership for the 7th wicket.But with the run out of Hetmyer in the third ballof the last over bowled by the tournament'sexpensive buy Sam Curran, RR's hopes almostdied.
