In the IPL 2025 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Lucknow Super Giants came victorious by 33 runs against Gujarat Titans.
Following the victory, the winning captain, Rishabh Pant, expressed happiness towards his batting unit.
"Definitely happy. We have shown as a team that we can play good cricket. There was a time in the tournament we had the chance to qualify. But that's part and parcel of the game. We need to learn and get better. Always a question of getting the top three, but the way Shahrukh batted it definitely gives hope down the order as well. There was injury concerns coming into the tournament. The way Mitch, Markram, and Pooran batted and the whole batting unit in fact. Fielding, we made lapses. Learn from it and move forward," said Pant during the post-match presentation.
