IPL 2023 | LSG VS DC | Gautam Gambhir's brilliant play helped the Lucknow team win

By defeating Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants launched this season of IPL 2023 with a bang. David Warner's team was destroyed by the batsmen of Lucknow and subsequently the spinners. The team of KL Rahul won by 50 runs. Mark Wood, who took 5 wickets for 14 runs, was the game's hero. Gautam Gambhir, the team's coach, also played a significant role in Lucknow's significant triumph.

Match highlights

Lucknow scored 193 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs while batting first. After being granted a second chance at life, Kyle Meyers hit some great strokes. Meyers racked up a scorching 73 off just 38 balls. Each of Khaleel and Chetan Sakaria took two wickets. Runs totaled 36 for Puran. In his brief debut, Ayush Badoni scored 18 runs on 7 balls.
