LSG made 163 for five on a gripping pitch here, and n bundled out GT for 130 to celebrate a 33-run victory, ir first-ever win over Gujarat side.

Rahul picked up young left-arm spinner M Siddharth, who bowled three parsimonious overs in Power Play segment, for special praise.

GT captain Shubman Gill admitted that it was a poor effort from his side while chasing a par total.

"I think it was a good wicket to bat on. It was just a poor batting performance by us. We got off to a decent start but we lost it in middle overs and were never able to recover from that," said Gill.

However, Gill was happy to see GT bowlers restricting LSG to 163.

"I think our bowlers were exceptional to restrict m to that score. We were looking at 170-180 but to restrict m, it was a tremendous effort," he added.

"(KL) Rahul bhaiya told me to stick to my plans and that we will get a wicket that way. So, Shubman's wicket is my favourite today," said Thakur.
