Who Said What? What did Rishabh Pant & Shubman Gill say after GT vs LSG, Match 64?

Lucknow Super Giants bagged a 33-run win over the Gujarat Titans in the 64th match of the IPL 2025 season at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, May 22.

After being tasked to bat first, LSG batters lived up to the expectations. While Aiden Markram could score only 36 runs, Mitchell Marsh was the star of the show, amassing 117 runs in 64 balls with 10 fours and eight sixes.

On the other hand, Nicholas Pooran smacked 56* runs off 27 balls with four fours and five sixes as LSG posted a dominating total of 235/2 in 20 overs. Rishabh Pant was brilliant with his finishing touches, scoring 16* off six balls with two sixes.

In the chase, the Titans could score only 202/9 in 20 overs, losing the game by 33 runs. Shah Rukh Khan was the top scorer, accumulating 57 runs in 29 balls with five fours and three sixes. However, he couldn't receive proper support in the death overs. William O'Rourke was the star bowler, scalping three wickets.

On that note, let’s take a look at who said what after GT vs SRH, Match 64.

GT captain Shubman Gill 

“We gave 15-20 runs extra. Wanted to stop them around 210. Huge difference between 210 and 230. We bowled well in the powerplay, didn’t get any wickets but after the powerplay in the 14 overs they scored around 180 runs which was a lot. (On the positives) We were right in the game till the 17th over, it was never easy chasing 240. 

Lots of positives for us - Rutherford and Shahrukh’s batting was a big plus. (Looking forward) Getting back some momentum would be key, I would want to get back to winning ways heading into the playoffs.”

Player of the match, Mitchell Marsh 

“I have had a few years off in between as well (on finally getting his first IPL hundred). First played for the Deccan Chargers in 2010. It's been a while. Getting an opportunity to open the batting. The partnership with Aiden on and off the field has been amazing. Came to the IPL pretty fresh. 

They (GT) bowled really well in the powerplay. If you are 12 off 12 in the powerplay it's panic stations but once we got a few good partnerships and it made things easy for us. It's been very disappointing (to not qualify for the playoffs). The IPL is a decent competition. We lost close games and we are out of the race. Any team can beat any team in this competition on a given day, that's why this is the best competition in the world.”

LSG captain Rishabh Pant

“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 batter. Always a question of getting the top three but the way Shahrukh batted it definitely gives hope down the order as well. 

There were injury concerns coming into the tournament. The way Mitch, Markram, Pooran batted and the whole batting unit in fact. Fielding we made lapses. Learn from it and move forward.”
