LSG vs GT, 4th Match at Mumbai, IPL, Mar 28 2022 - Match Result

That's all from our side. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you soon.

Mohammed Shami, the Player of the Match: [On the first ball] I just wanted to bowl a good line and length. When the ball comes out of your hand well...people say it's a God gift but not exactly, I have worked on it a lot. Hardik had asked me if I wanted to bowl the fourth over, I said, no, keep one for later.

Hardik Pandya: This was a right game for us to finish on either side but I am happy that we won. When wicket assists you a little bit, Shami can really come into the game. He got us to a great start. [On batting at No. 4] I want to take some more responsibility with the bat. All the players contributed. It was quite humid as well so I didn't want to take the risk of giving Shami his fourth over on the trot. Getting out to Krunal found have pinched me more if we wouldn't have won.

Varun: "Both the newbies: Badoni and Manohar were impressive today. Was great to watch them."

Rahul Tewatia: The wicket was so good that Miller and I were discussing that we would take it deep and it's a matter of just one over. After I hit that six with the reverse sweep, that got Bishnoi thinking. Abhinav is a clear striker of the ball, so I had full trust in him that he would come and play his shots straightaway. It's a big thing to do it in your first game. I gave him the strike because I know he is a proper batter and can hit big shots. We are doing quality practice, not putting long hours. Ashish Nehra has kept the mood in the camp very light.

KL Rahul: I think it was a phenomenal game. The start wasn't ideal but the way we recovered was phenomenal. We know at the Wankhede the ball can do something initially. We couldn't have started the campaign in a better way. The win would have been great but a lot to learn from this. If anyone can exploit the pitch, it's Shami. I have played with him for three-four years the last franchise and I knew he could be dangerous. I think we gave ourselves a good chance with the ball till the 14th or 15th over. But it can be difficult with the dew. We need to go back and practise a bit more with the wet ball. Credit to Tewatia and Abhinav as well. [On Ayush Badoni] He is the baby AB for us, From the first day he was batting, it was unbelievable. He can hit the ball 360 degrees.

11.25pm Fourth time in four games the team winning the toss and opting to chase wins the match. This one, arguably, had more twists and turns. Shami bowled magnificently in the first innings before Hooda and Badoni revived Super Giants. Chasing 159, Titans were 72 for 2 in ten overs but lost Hardik and Wade in successive overs. They needed 68 from the last five overs when Hooda and Bishnoi's overs turned the complexion of the game. Tewatia and Miller started the turnaround and Manohar applied the finishing touches.

Qaaid: "How different would this equation look if Chameera had been able to bowl his fourth over instead of Hooda bowling the 16th over? "

Just three needed now

11 needed from the final over

16 from 11

Chameera now. Titans need 20 from two overs

Abhinav Manohar

DA: "KL won't be getting any points for his captaincy tonight. His best bowler of the night won't be finishing his quota of 4 overs. "

28 needed from 18 balls. Here's Avesh Khan

Sandyy : "What's the point in keeping part timer on when your main pacer have overs left. That extra over from Hooda turned the match toward GT"

Faisal : "Poor captaincy from KL... you have 2 overs each remaining of Avesh and Dushmanta and you're going with Bishnoi/Hooda in the 16th and 17th over..."
