In the first ever IPL ‘battle of brothers’, Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans (GT) are in a far better position than his brother Krunal’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Although their away record (100 per cent) is better than their home run, IPL-16 leaders GT are riding high after their impressive nine-wicket win with 37 balls to spare over Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Friday while third-placed LSG haven’t had a consistent run.

LSG have posted this edition’s highest total (257-5) against Punjab Kings. Then, they failed to get past Royal Challengers Bangalore’s 126-9. To add to their woes, they had to share points with Chennai Super Kings in a rain-marred match. GT have also lost a low-scoring match when they were restricted to 125 by the struggling Delhi Capitals (DC) while chasing a victory target of 131. But they regrouped well to thrash RR.
