Lucknow Super Giants owner name: The Lucknow Super Giants are playing their maiden IPL match against another new franchise in Gujarat Titans.

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) – the two new franchises in the ongoing 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) are locking horns against each other to kick-start their maiden season in the cash-rich league at the Wankhede Stadium, in Mumbai.

Having won the Toss, GT, along expected lines, invited LSG to bat first and made early inroads into the match with Mohammad Shami removing both their openers in skipper KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock in his first couple of Overs itself.

Having found themselves wanting at 32/4 in the Powerplay itself, it seemed curtains for the LSG, until Deepak Hooda (55 off 41) joined hands with a certain 22-year-old all-rounder Ayush Badoni (54 off 41) to stitch a wonderful 87-run partnership off 68 deliveries to propel their team’s total to 158/6 in their 20 Overs.

However, almost like taking a pledge to never let the undying passion for Cricket fade away even a tad, he made sure to continue the love relationship by assigning the field of journalism as an indirect Cupid.
