He was well supported by Hardik Pandya, who played a captain's knock of 52, anchoring the innings and keeping the scoreboard ticking. David Miller provided the late flourish with a quickfire 35, including two massive sixes in the penultimate over.

Lucknow Lions' Explosive Start

De Kock contributed a solid 55, before being dismissed by Rashid Khan.

"We knew it was a tough chase, but we believed in ourselves," said Hardik Pandya after the match, speaking to News Reporter Live. "Shubman gave us a great start, and then everyone chipped in. Miller was outstanding at the end, and the bowlers also did a decent job in the end to restrict them."

Gujarat Titans' Nail-Biting Finish

The Titans' chase was anything but smooth. They lost a couple of wickets in the middle overs, which slowed down their momentum. But Miller's late onslaught brought them back into the game. With 15 needed off the last over, the pressure was immense. A six by Rahul Tewatia off the first ball eased the tension, and then a couple of quick singles sealed the victory. What a nail-biting finish!
