Lucknow Super Giants will host Gujarat Titans in a mouth-watering clash to be played at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow on 22 April at 3.30 PM in the ongoing IPL 2023.
KL Rahul’s side will be high on confidence after they defeated Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. They are currently at the number 2 spot and would look to win this match going at the top of the points table. On other hand, Gujarat Titans will be eager after a narrow loss to Rajasthan Royals.
It promises to be an exciting battle between two new teams in IPL. Gujarat Titans defeated them twice in the last season.
Here we look at the 3 Records That Can Be Broken between LSG and GT
- KL Rahul could complete 7000 T20 runs.
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul looked out of sorts in the first few matches this season. He scored 74 against Punjab Kings but lost that match. KL Rahul faced slack as he made 39 against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur.
He would be looking to continue his good form against Gujarat Titans in today’s match at Lucknow. KL Rahul needs 14 runs to achieve the milestone of 7000 runs in his T20 career.
KL Rahul scored so far 6986 runs across 196 innings at an average of 42.3. LSG captain could become the fastest to smash the 7000 mark in the first game on Saturday.
- Amit Mishra could become third highest wicket-taker in IPL.
Amit Mishra has been a veteran in the Indian Premier League history so far. The experienced leg spinner created an impact as an impact player for Lucknow Super Giants in 3 games and could be used one more on a slow track in Lucknow.
The veteran Amit Mishra made his IPL debut in 2008. He has played for Deccan Chargers, Delhi Capitals, Delhi Daredevils, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and now Lucknow Super Giants.
He is currently at 169 wickets from 157 matches (157 innings) with 4 wicket hauls four times and five-wicket hauls once. If Amit Mishra could pick up 2 more wickets, he will go past Lasith Malinga to become the third leading wicket-taker in IPL history.
- Wriddhiman Saha to play his 150th IPL game
The experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha will achieve the milestone of playing his 150th IPL game against Lucknow Super Giants.
Saha has featured in 149 IPL games with 2517 runs and grabbing 98 dismissals behind the stumps. He will also become the fourth Indian wicketkeeper after MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, and Robin Uthappa to feature in 150 IPL matches.
Saha started his IPL career playing for Kolkata Knight Riders from 2008-2010. He then featured for Chennai Super Kings from 2011 to 2013.
From 2014-2017, Saha featured for Punjab Kings. Wriddhiman Saha was bought by Gujarat Titans for Rs 1.90 Crore. Before the mega auction, Gujarat Titans retained him for the 2023 edition of IPL.
