Gujarat Titans (GT) won the toss and opted to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season match on Sunday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
After winning the toss, GT captain Shubman Gill said they will bowl first and are boosted by their previous win. He emphasised the need to play better and finish matches earlier, highlighting consistency as the key to success in a long tournament like the IPL. He also confirmed that the team remains unchanged for the match against LSG. "We'll field first. Two points in the last match give us plenty of confidence. Looking to play better cricket and ensure the match doesn't go to the last over. We have had a tremendous time, consistency is important in a long tournament such as the IPL. After 14 matches, the most consistent team will win the tournament. Same team for us today," Gill said at the toss. Lucknow Super Giants had a shaky start to IPL 2026 as they lost their campaign opener to Delhi Capitals, but they've bounced back impressively in their last two matches, pulling off last-ball wins while chasing. In their latest game, Mukul Choudhary starred with an unbeaten 54 off 27 deliveries, guiding the team to a thrilling victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, have had a relatively underwhelming campaign so far. However, their convincing win against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium could provide the momentum they need moving forward. With just one win in their three IPL games so far, GT will look to clinch their second win.
