After 43-year-old veteran MS Dhoni hogged the limelight on his return as Chennai Super Kings skipper in the home game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday, the focus now shifts to two young captains when Lucknow Super Giants host Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Shubman Gill has led GT impressively, keeping them atop the points table, while Rishabh Pant has also been fairly successful as a leader. Luckily, Pant’s failures with the bat have been covered up to some extent by their three wins in five games. But he still needs a good innings to get back to form. Gill, too, would be looking to get some runs as he’s coming into the game after a rare failure, castled by a superb Jofra Archer express delivery in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad. The GT captain was dismissed for just two off three balls — his first single-digit score in five matches this season.
