GT and LSG play debut IPL match; Twitter reacts

Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are playing their debut IPL match at the Wankhede Stadium today. These two are the new entrants of the cash-rich league led by two bright Indian cricketers. Hardik Pandya is captaining the Titans while KL Rahul is leading the Super Giants.

Two best friends taking on each other in the most hyped global T20 league is definitely a memorable moment for cricket fans. Pandya and Rahul are best friends off the field and have shared numerous moments on field too while playing for Indian cricket team together. No wonder this match has that extra essence. Pandya won the toss and invited the Lucknow Super Giants to bat first but Rahul’s side after having a poor start has recovered well. The credit goes to Deepak Hooda (55) and Ayush Badoni (54). They have finally set a target of 158 for Lucknow Super Giants.
