As Saturday arrived with some unreal cricket thrills, the Lucknow fans enjoyed a thrilling clash between the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Giants. While defending the 180-run total, the Titans bowlers struggled in front of LSG’s batting brilliance.
Mohammed Siraj, who has been a great weapon for the Titans this season, was seen struggling against the LSG batters. Amid the challenges, the star pacer unfortunately etched his name into one of the tournament’s most unwanted records.
Siraj’s Unwanted Record
After coming to the Gujarat Titans squad in the IPL 2025, Mohammed Siraj has been seen in one of his best forms in the IPL. With deadly deliveries, 'Miyan Magic' seemed unstoppable until the clash against Lucknow Super Giants. In a surprising twist, Siraj’s dream run hit a bump as he registered an unwanted record in the tournament.
Defending a 180-run total, Gujarat Titans' bowling unit looked out of sorts, with even their pace ace Mohammed Siraj under pressure. While bowling 4 overs, he conceded 50 runs with an economy rate of 12.50 and even went wicketless.
With that, he unlocked an unwanted milestone. With that spell, he surpassed Yash Thakur and registered the fourth-most expensive bowling figures in Lucknow in IPL. The top spot still belongs to Chetan Sakariya, whose 2/53 against LSG in 2023 remains the most costly spell at the venue in IPL.

LSG Shines In Home
After consecutive setbacks initially, the Lucknow Super Giants bounced back with all their strength. While facing the Gujarat Titans, the LSG side thrived in the home conditions. Starting initially with a setback, Avesh Khan removed captain Gill, and Ravi Bishnoi sent Sai Sudarshan and restricted them to 180 runs.
While chasing the target, the Super Giants had a fiery start. After Rishabh Pant’s dismissal on 21 runs, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran crafted half-centuries, and those powerful knocks gave a mighty push to the side. Their explosive partnership sealed the deal, as LSG cruised to a commanding 6-wicket win.
