That's it from our coverage of the thrilling encounter between IPL's two latest entrants. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators AkshayaKrishna Polya, Deepak Prakash and scorers/analysts Raju Khariya and Chandan Kumar Singh. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Yash Thakur (Player of the Match): "I am happy for the first 5-wicket haul and first player of the match award. I saw Gill trying to make some room and hit in the leg side as there were 2 fielders behind square. Rahul bhai told me to bowl at my plan.
Unfortunate to lose Mayank bhai but the skipper told me that its your day and you will win us the game.
Last 2 seasons we never won against them so very happy to win against them today. Shubman's wicket was the most special one."

KL Rahul (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): "We'll take the win, I am not going to make too much out of it. I think for the young bowling group that we have, it helps when we bat first and they get a bit of an idea of how the wicket's playing and they've also been adapting really well.
[On 100% record of defending 160+ total] Yeah, it's a good record to have, obviously. But I also think it's because of where we've played and the conditions. Last time we played here in Lucknow, the wickets were very low-scoring, and it's a low-scoring ground. So, we defended quite well there. Having that home advantage obviously helps a little bit. And yes, I mean, the bowlers have come through the ranks in the last couple of years. You've seen the same guys playing last season as well, and they've adjusted to their roles. They're reading the wickets really well.
That's something that I try to discuss with them a lot more off the field and even during practice. The three spinners have performed excellently. Sid opens the bowling and provides steady performances, often restricting the batters. KP, with his vast IPL experience, adds value, and Bishnoi keeps improving. It's satisfying to start well against such strong opponents."
