They ended with 164/8 at the end of the first innings. Chasing the target, Gujarat Titans lost Sai Sudharshan early but fifties from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler helped them chase down the target comfortably.

Jos Buttler: Yeah, it's been around for a while. And yeah, nice to be back scoring runs. Obviously had a bit of a lean patch in the last few months. So nice to find some form and contribute to another win. I actually had a little bit of space from the game and time to just kind of think. And it sort of just came to me. I've just been focusing a lot in the weeks I've been here on my setup and my basics. I think a few technical issues maybe crept into my game, which actually allowed me not really seeing the ball that well. So it's a hard game if you're not picking up the ball well. So I've just been focusing on everything pre delivery and then backing that. As I said, I've played for 15 years. I'll know what to do when I get in. (Talks about Hayden) He just asked actually one of the first few sessions, how well are you watching the ball? It doesn't look like you're tracking it that well. So, you know, great players like him with the most simple advice, which is nice. And yeah, he's been great. I've really enjoyed spending time with him. Obviously, he's got a big presence and that aura. So when he speaks, you listen. (Having family around) Yeah, it's great to have them here. Obviously, you know, the cricket is high intensity and it's busy. So it's nice to have them here and distractions away from the game and getting, you know, spend time with them.

Rishab Pant | LSG captain: See, definitely not enough runs. There's nothing. from the fact that they bowled well. I think in a wicket like this, a score like 170 to 180 is a really good score. But, you know, the wicket kept on falling and they put enough pressure on us to get those wickets going. See, definitely in a wicket like this, like I said, 170 to 180 is a good score. But at the same time, you know, you still have opportunities. I wouldn't say I'm a hard guy. So there were opportunities in the game. We just couldn't grab it enough. (Talks about the batting line-up) See, definitely it's a great lineup. But the tournament has just started here, you know. We're not putting pressure on players because especially the senior guys, they know what to do. Yeah, there are times when you perform and you just couldn't. But at the same time, you know, the trust and belief in the camp is enough. And we know he's going to come soon enough. It's always positive.

Shubman Gill: "The way we bowled in the powerplay was vey impressive and how we kept up the pressure in the middle overs was tremendous. [On Rashid Khan] Makes my life very easy, the way Rashid is bowling at the moment. Getting us back in the game every time another bowler is under pressure. [On Siraj] I think in the first six overs it's very difficult to do the simple things so it's important to come back and think what are the simple things I can do in the moment and I think in this match he did that really well. That got us back in the game, the way Siraj bowled. And even KG, he went for runs but he was spot on with the lengths. [On the surface] Yeah it wasn't easy to bat on. I feel we gave a few extra runs towards the end but we would have taken that score. [On batting form] Back-to-back fifties for me and Jos, so very happy to be in form."

POTM, Prasidh Krishna: "I think the most important thing was the victory for us. I am just here taking the laurels of all the pressure created by all the other bowlers. [Mixing pace-off with pace-on balls] Definitely you need to bowl a lot of them in the nets and feel good about it before bringing it out in a game. It was a little tiring, playing the afternoon game."

Gujarat Titans have two wins on the bounce after losing their first two matches. It was a comprehensive win and they have two wins in four matches. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants will be disappointed and they also have two wins in four matches this season. It was a dominating performance from the Gujarat Titans side.
