For the upcoming clash between LSG and GT in IPL 2024, the home team won the toss and opted to bat first.
Captain of LSG, KL Rahul, said, “We are going to bat first. Looks like a good wicket. We batted first in the last two games and defended pretty well. They have a better record against us, but they have been a better team and had success in the previous two seasons. We are playing with the same team. It’s still his (Mayank Yadav’s) first season, and a few injuries have been hard on his body. For a 21-year-old boy, he’s very professional. It’s important for us to manage him. We have some good fast bowlers, and we have Morne and others to look after him.”

Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans’ captain, Shubman Gill, said, “We would have bowled first, so happy. We were on top of the game for 33 overs of the match; the last 7 overs didn’t go in our favor. We have a couple of changes. Saha misses out due to a back spasm, and BR Sharath makes his debut for us. Spencer comes back in for Omarzai. We have to forget what has happened in the previous match.”
