The ongoing 51st game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is currently taking place between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad. The visitors won the toss and opted to field first.

But their decision backfired as Gujarat Titans openers Wridhhman Saha and Shubman Gill looked a class apart and smashed LSG bowlers in every corner of the ground. The veteran keeper batter took the aggressive role and made the opposition look clueless.

Wriddhiman Saha came out all guns blazing and kept going at the bowlers without even looking at the milestone. With the way he was batting, something special was needed from the opposition to get rid of him. And LSG lived exactly up to that by putting a staggering effort in the field.

He kept his eyes on the ball and maintained his balance well to complete a catch close to the ropes.
