B Sai Sudharsan top-scored with 41 but a listless Titans lost the match by a massive 83 runs.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) opener Mitchell Marsh plundered his first ton of IPL, while Nicholas Pooran hammered 56 in his 27-ball stay to take their side to 235/2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Shahrukh Khan was the only Titans to pass fifty and top-scored with 57 as the hosts lost by 33 runs.
2) 243/5 by the Punjab Kings
In a season where the Punjab Kings reached the final for the first time in 11 years, they started their campaign in highly convincing fashion. Shreyas Iyer led the charge against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, clobbering 97, while Shashank Singh mustered 44 only in the 16 balls he faced. B Sai Sudharsan (74) and Jos Buttler (54) passed fifties but the Punjab Kings clung on for a 11-run win.
1) 247/2 by the Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders were powered by Finn Allen, who hardly spared any Gujarat Titans’ bowler on the night. The New Zealand batter tonked 10 sixes but missed the well-deserved three-figure mark by 7 runs. But Angkrish Raghuvanshi (82*) and Cameron Green (52*) ensured not to waste the momentum and powered the three-time champions to a strong finish.
